- Thank God for not having class today; I have gotten to that point in the semester where my brain is all jumbled from everything I have and it needs a reset, bad. But I canceled my in-person classes for tomorrow and gave them an assignment…for which I already recorded the lecture! So in that aspect, I am ahead.
- Next week is Spring Break and I shall be home, trying to recuperate. However, my children will also be! In some ways that won’t be so bad, though I know I’ll be giving them daily tasks and they probably won’t like that too much. Sometimes I miss when they were littler and I had to come up with things to entertain them. It felt stressful at the time but now, they don’t need me to entertain them!
- On Friday we’re doing a quick Atlanta trip. Technically we are staying in Decatur, but that’s because it’s cheaper and we like their breweries better. So one day, we’ll uber into town to meet up with a friend of ours who moved about a year ago but the the next day, we’ll spend our time in Decatur. One thing I am excited for is to go back to Bold Monk, where they make fantastic cat head biscuits! Best thing I have ever eaten.
- Despite all my general stresses, I feel pretty motivated today. I plan to get all my grading done then trim my elephant ear, which got frost-bitten. I’ll dump some water from the pool in prep for this line of storms coming in later. I will apply for more jobs and work on tailoring cover letters for each. I need to reorganize the pantry. I hope Ash will want to have lunch, though I am actively monitoring money, saving when I can. Always smart to get ahead!
- I was walking up to the Keurig this morning, taking out my mug and preparing to imbibe in some warm coffee, when I realized it is March, my birth month. Definitely feeling the impeding 46; my back hurts, my cycles are all off, and I’m becoming more forgetful.
- It’s also been nearly one year since I was canned from my Legislative job. I landed on my feet ok; not too bad anyway. But here I am, still searching for steady employment. Perhaps, and maybe this is just my general tendency towards superstition, that this March will signify the acquisition of that. It would be ironic, right? Especially if I ended up back at FSU. I have applied to a few positions there. I was a loyal employee for 13 years before veering off into the world of online work and moving into the House. I’d go back; it was never that bad.
- I fully believe that God has a plan for everyone so I have to trust in that. The waiting is the hardest part. I am content for now but I know I need to be staying on top of it because the end of Spring term is quickly approaching!
- In the meantime, I am focusing on all the other things I can do and that will make me feel better!

Happy birth month!
I get what you mean about the brain getting jumbled and needing a reset. I think I’m there as well! Good luck with the continuing job search. My youngest was telling me about how his job-seeking friends all just use AI to write their cover letters. I’m sure you’ll do better!
Oh no, I’d never use AI for that! LOL. I only just started using chatGPT to ask questions and even then, I am suspect.
My birthday is March 13.
March is the birthday month for the coolest people.
I understand the jumbled brain…I hit menopause in my late 40’s and found my early 50’s challenging in terms of a lot of physical changes. Today is my son-in-law’s birthday and I’m hoping he gets a house for his big day lol. They are making an offer on one that is nearly perfect, but of course as a result it’s going to get scooped up fast and probably at a. higher price than they want to pay. We shall see. Enjoy your birthday month! I’m a fan of making my birthday celebrations last.
I am always of two minds about birthdays; I do like that people tend to like to celebrate but I also feel like I don’t deserve it somehow! Hoping they get the house they want.
You have a good attitude about everything you need to do! And I completely agree about God having a plan for everyone. What does “trim my elephant ear” mean? And how did it get frost bitten? I hope you’re getting a lot done!
Yes, it took a beating from the ice storm we had so I needed to trim back all the dead leaves. It looked a mess! But it’s already starting to grow back; this just helped.
