- My Wednesday started out awful, emotionally, but I pulled it together and got my biking in and tons of grading, which made me feel a weight lifted from my shoulders. At the end of any term, I find my brain unable to keep up with all I have to do and it’s all jumbled up in there. That could also be age too. Ha.
- The pool folks finally came out and it’s amusing that my daughter’s good friend’s mom is my pool person. Her biological mom anyway; she lives with her grandparents. She’s very nice and since we “know” her, seems to be helping so it’s not so much money. It’s already looking less like a swamp.
- I began this post Wednesday but on Thursday, I honestly didn’t crack my laptop one time. I just needed to be away from it for a bit. And that was nice. Right after my daughter left for the bus, I took an hour long walk. I took the hilly route, out towards the country club. It was coolish out and an enjoyable workout. I even saw my first rabbit of the season. Came home and took a shower and was about to go to the store when Ash asked if I wanted to meet for lunch. Went to Costco and the grocery store and even started reading a book on Tiki culture. Overall, a nice day.
- This morning though… Lordy. Ash woke up fine but then was annoyed by something I said. My oldest says he isn’t going to school. I found out the learning commons front desk position I asked about (I used to work there so I asked if I could work some summer hours) is not available. I also had a pending second online section but it hasn’t opened. So yeah, today is NOT good so far.
- But I have to pull it together and pretend like it’s all fine. I have to be happy and helpful for the kids. I have to ride twenty miles. I have to put on the happy face when Ash gets home midday and hope he isn’t still mad. I have to, because you have to keep on keepin’ on. Always.
