I've doodled so much today, that my hand hurts and feels all stiff. Also, I've eaten so many sweets today that my stomach feels all unhappy.

I doodle a lot on this sort of style, with the bubbles. But I'm really enjoying the combo of colors in this one. #dailydoodle

I feel like I'm just flipping through the tabs in my brain all morning and through the tabs on my laptop too. Can't really settle on any one thing that I need to do.

I currently have 21 books out. I should make an attempt, in July, to post about one of my books each day. See if that brings in any new reads.

The pork had been pulled and it's delicious.

Hubs is about to go pull the pork he'd been smoking all day.

Gorgeous day out in the backyard.

I grew up in a house where we didn't put the toilet lid down ever. I didn't get used to doing it until my husband and I moved in together. Now, after 15+ years of it, I don't get why anyone doesn't do it. Why would you want the toilet spray everywhere?

This was good. Enjoyed the food and each other's company.

The dead giveaway that it's the same person creating new accounts just to tell me I suck is that it's never a paid account. You'd think they'd want to support authors they follow and enjoy. But they always follow the same group of authors, many of whom have been inactive for over a year.

I got like 4 comments today on my stories on Medium and it feels huge. Like it's been ages since I got more than one in a day. And they were all good too. What has my life come to? Four comments used to just an ordinary day.

I have a breakfast date tomorrow and I'm kinda looking forward to it.

"And if it's not right You have to put it right But nobody else is gonna put it right for me Nobody but me is gonna change my story Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty."

I’m working on the 4th Volume of this collection now. Which means you have three books that you can read in anticipation of the newest one being released! They are hot and spicy erotic short stories that should hit the spot. a.co/d/06aOOIYh

New story out today! And it will only be here for a limited time before it joins my anthology of alliterative-titled stories A Catalogue of Carnal Curiosities. Check it out now! medium.com/agencymagazi...

Well, that was an unexpected part of the day - proctoring/reading an ELA test to first graders. The most ridiculous thing about it, I believe, was the length. 24 questions! 3 different passages! Sure, I had to read them the passages and the questions, but that’s just way too long for 6yo!

Oh yes, sure, this is so legit. Let me just click on that address and enter my password right away!

Pretty plant by our front door.

I tend to be most hopeful and diligent in planning for the coming school year right at the end of the previous school year. Everything I want to do differently is fresh in my head and I'm gung-ho about getting a head start on things. By the time August rolls around, I'm depressed.

It's weirder for me not to remember my dreams than to actually remember them. It feels slightly unsettling to sit here and not remember anything I dreamt about last night. There was something in there about my mom...

My 9yo wrote a note to the tooth fairy tonight after losing a tooth, asking why she doesn't get $5 -$10 per tooth like some kids do. Aren't her teeth good enough, she asked. I'm at a loss. I don't know how to respond to that. We give $1 per tooth and always did to get sister too.

They said there’s cake in the office. I should go get a piece, right? And walking down/up two floors will negate the whole thing, right?

Our tentative staffing has been posted for next year and there's much more room and grade movement than in previous years. I'm still in the same position and room, but it just fills me with uncertainty for next year and how it's going to go.

I woke myself up during the night last night by biting the inside of my lip. It really hurt. Why would I do that in my sleep?

Shirts this thin and soft at the best.

Today's raspberry harvest.

As a kid, I used to make myself a snack/dessert by mixing sour cream, sugar, and cocoa powder. I honestly thought it was just a me thing. Now I learn that, no, it's an Estonian thing and a favorite childhood snack/dessert of many other Estonians.

Do you measure out the laundry detergent with the cap? Or just pour it right into the dispenser in the washing machine?

I have 3 different things I need to edit and I'm putting them off cause I'd rather write. New things. That will also end up needing to be edited.

Productive things I've done this morning: ✅cleaned out my email ✅worked on the shopping list ✅fed myself ✅drank two cups of coffee ✅helped 9 with her math homework

Oh wait, I just remembered, I was going to eat something.

I'm usually in bed by 10 pm, though I sometimes read for a bit beyond that. Yesterday, I put the book down right after 10 and went to sleep. I must have gone right out. So when 12 woke me up, crying, that her teeth hurt, I thought it was the middle of the night. It was 10:34 pm.

Finished watching Legally Blonde with my 9yo. She loved it. And she pinpointed the exact moment she thought made the movie PG13, lol.

Totally true and I also laughed out loud.

This morning, when we first got into the city, around 11 am, there was a group of young women standing on the sidewalk by the park, all dressed up, in heels, with little bottles of booze in one hand and Sunny D in the other. Keeping it classy.

This is what I'm having right now.

Well this is very interesting- we are seeing Fraggle Rock Live today and get are selling these little boxes water for a buck each.

Manhattan is differently bright today, between all the Knicks jerseys and all the soccer club shirts.

This story isn't for everyone and it comes with a warning. It's uncomfortable and coercive. It's an age-gap dubcon and some will find this really wrong. So use your discretion! But I enjoy imagining myself as the girl in the story.

Today's 93F is actually much better than yesterday's 93F. Yesterday, the humidity was terrible and the air just sat there, like a wet blanket, making it hard to breathe. Today it's hot, but not oppressive. There's a slight breeze and the air feels breathable.

If you haven't started reading my newest series Under One Roof, now is a good time to get into it. Four chapters are out now and the fifth is coming on Monday. Available on Medium and Substack. Medium: medium.com/forbidden... Substack: jordanlubov.substack...

It's a 93F day and I'm going to have to help outside with the Kindergarten Graduation.😒I get having a graduation when they are leaving a school - 5th grade graduation, when they leave a Pre-K that's not part of an elementary school. But in Kindergarten, they aren't going anywhere!

I can be such an organized person at work, but not at home. At home, my clothes are a mess, my mail is in stacks, unopened, my craft stuff is everywhere. But at work, everything has a place and a label and people marvel at how together I have it.

As the school security officer pointed out on my way into the building, after today, we will be in the single digits of school days left for this year. Hehehe.

I really needed that - the two-hour nap that I just passed out into. Just laid down at 4 pm and then it was 6 pm. Man, I was exhausted.

Well, at least I didn't fall asleep on my drive home today. Instead, I drove like someone who really needed to get to a bathroom pronto.

Well, here's a kick in the nuts on a super exhausted day - I've run out of coffee at work and forgot to bring more in.
