Soup x 2

One of the many things that irritates me about monster-sized trucks is when they park right in front of a store and take up 2 spots. Even worse is when they park to take up 4 spots. Saw both today.

It has been a long 7 days and my emotional bandwidth has been exhausted.

Almost forgot to turn my alarms back on. That would have been disastrous.

Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.

I have a handyman working on my clogged kitchen sink and Pollo has appointed himself as my bodyguard. Little guy is alternating between giving me kisses and barking his head off.

Tonight was hard. Shooter still hasn't been apprehended. My boyfriend and I are long-distance and I wanted more than anything for him to be here so I'd feel safe, but just talking to him was enough to calm my soul. I am grateful for him and for our future together.

There was a shooting a couple of hours ago less than 4 miles from my home. Fatalities are reported and I'm not sure if they caught the shooter yet. Just sitting here refreshing for updates.

Cheers!

I know it's a public street but it irks me when the same neighbor's kid always parks in front of my house when his driveway is free. Nice to know big bro @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social is a curmudgeon like me

Am I awake? This cup of coffee whispers “maybe”

Shouldn't have taken that afternoon nap.

Late start to my day which means I had coffee at noon. I'm going to need another dose of caffeine if I'm expected to make it to dinner.

I ran out of time to make dinner rolls last night (I made sourdough boules as part of the appetizers). Really tempted to leave the warmth of my bed to bake.

I have to be awake until at least 10:30 to prep my dough to proof in the fridge. Who's staying awake with me?

It finally happened. Yesterday, I had to increase the font size on my Kindle.

I planned on knocking myself out with meds, but I just remembered I have an IEP at 2:30. Gotta stay awake.

It's a win, but talk about ugly 😬

Drinking beer and getting caught up on the work drama

I've had limited human interaction since these muscle spasms started and I am bored out of my mind.

These interceptions are killing me

Made the trek from the parking lot to main building and am now sitting in the waiting room. If my doctor tells me to just take ibuprofen, I'm going to scream.

Grateful for my kids who came over to help for a couple of hours while I'm struggling to move around, but definitely feeling isolated at the moment.

How I feel this weekend.

It's 6 pm and I'm debating going to bed, simply because it hurts too much to move around.

Rescheduling dinner plans and maxing out on ibuprofen ☹️

Trying to be funny during this Leadership class and no one is appreciating my humor ☹️

Update: Still experiencing immense back pain. Going to drug myself so I can hopefully go out to dinner with girlfriends tonight.

These Friday night classes are cutting into my alcohol consumption.

Is 4:40 pm too late for coffee?

I had to take a sick day since I tweaked my back last night. Worst part is not being able to make myself coffee or lunch right now.

Not my finest moment drinking on a school night

Impromptu birthday wine tasting. I always take home a couple of bottles of peach mango sparkling wine when I go here.

My brother knows me too well. It's a shame I can't enjoy this until after my class tonight. Thank you, @thatbootlegguy.bsky.social!

3:45 am, we really need to stop meeting like this.

Pizza night, again 😊

My boyfriend is an even better baker than I am. In fact, he gave me my sourdough starter over a year ago. We were talking about favorite things about bread and he really likes to eat the crust.

I really wasn't planning on having a drink tonight, but after the day I've had, my friend was easily able to convince me it's a fake weekend since there's no school tomorrow.

Today's revolving door of discipline felt very like a Friday.

Do I go for a second cup of coffee?

More baking.

Made some treats for the kids.

I was talking to someone who shall not be named and I'm trying to convince him that using a pill organizer does not in fact make him old. I have used one for decades and so do my kids. He's old for other reasons

I ate too much at dinner and now I have no room for beer.

Cheers!
