The humidity is hell on my hair lately. I usually ride with the windows down in the morning, but it makes me look like I ran through a wind tunnel so I have to use the AC on my ride in to work.

Today was Mother’s Day in the US. It’s a holiday I quite rightfully have complicated feelings with. So I ignored it, slept in until after nine a.m. after getting up at six to feed Spock. And just generally chilled at home.

Somehow my dates are off again. Something hinky there, but I’m too tired to care properly.

It was another great day at work today. But I am absolutely exhausted.
Let’s just say I tried to figure out if I could go back to school. The answer is depressing and expensive.

4 Days into the New Job

I am out of spoons. I spent the day trying to figure out the system at work and my brain is short circuited.
I love my job, but I’m going to bed. I need a hard reset before Friday.
Take your meds, folks!

Whoops. Both Fen and I had a cup of coffee after a perfectly lovey homemade dinner. And then promptly fell asleep in front of the telly. Both of us. For over an hour. And me with my crocheting in my hands and Spock snoozing away atop my feet.
I’m still exhausted after another awesome day at work, so I’m headed for bed, after I appease the Duolingo owl.
Take your meds, folks!

I hate the long drive from Bill6’s and J’s house at night so I slept over at their place last night. We played Dinosaur Island and, of course, I lost. But I had fun playing!

I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner today. That’s literally the third time this month that’s happened. I need to get better about eating regularly. At the new job, I hope to pack lunches to be able to keep things in balance.
