Too tired to do laundry, not tired enough to sleep.

Soliciting advice for being tactful regarding a personal matter.

My first day as a summer Caretaker of a Special Needs Child* went well. Peed on the potty, got an "I want" statement with little prompting, and ate most of her lunch. *watching my 5 y/o autistic niece in the morning. Her mom said that's what I should add to my resume.

Hohkay, so. 1. Alt text to describe that there are loads of meats and some veggies nestled under a thick layer of melted cheese would be VERY helpful. 2. All the articles I found describe this as Regina style pizza, which is like calling Detroit style Michigan style. 3. I'd eat it.

I almost fell asleep mopping the floor. Good thing my commute is only one Taylor Swift song long. May have to skip out on the meeting at 10.

Forget sharing the last picture you saved, I want to see the very first picture on your phone. (Flowers in the garden of the John G. Niehardt Center. Bancroft, Neb. 2019)

Caterpillar When I was in high school, my sister's bff/my cousin's gf said in a goofy voice, "Mooooooom, can I take my capatiller to McDonald's?"

Not sure if "featuring the piece's composer" or "Evangelical Lutheran Church" is my favorite part about this flyer. Chef's kisses to everyone!

There is someone who visits my neighbor and honks the horn like its 1995 and nobody has a cell phone. She's also cussed out some of the occupants and made like she was going to use her car as a weapon. I hope the miserable shrew gets all red lights for the rest of her life.

The Midwest, in this sense, is not simply a story of what has been lost, but of what it takes to hold onto a place when the systems and shared identities that created it no longer exist.

Things I love: When kids look like a perfect blend of their parents Making up back stories for the people in the background of photos

You know, I typically keep my bike helmet with my bike, but these sirens make me think I should have it ready for tornadoes. At least I'm not at work right now.

pick a Bond from the photos you already have in your phone

That was the loudest crack of thunder I remember hearing. And it kept on rolling.

Some ships sail from their ports, and ever afterwards are missing

For my own personal edification, liquid calories do not help mitigate the side effects when taking Otezla. (This tension headache is a killer. Can't tell if the fatigue is a natural consequence of yesterday's choices or not.)

BalancePlus, Goldline, Hardline, Asham, Endgame, Olson

Okay, peeps. My boss suggested I use AI to create all of the fb posts she wants me to create. I need rebuttals. She uses it for *everything* and I've told her people notice and it's impersonal.

My first time at Heron Haven, and I see a baby owl!

Can't decide which image fits best.

My curling club is likely relocating in the near future. Next to a coffin distribution center. So I'm obviously thinking of puns for team names. I think I've got one, but I'm not sure if it's too deep of a cut for people to get.

A beautiful night. Forever grateful I chose to do this among the 674 things going on this weekend.

I recognized a Blue Rodeo song playing on the speakers between Bandits on the Run and Alan Doyle. This is shaping up to be a fantastic night!

The guffaw I guffawed. I bought this phone in May of 2019. It was the cheapest available and when I went to buy more screen protectors for it six months later, I was told it had been discontinued.

Me, to myself, after starting the next blanket to work on at church: I should find something to do tonight. My friend: I'm hosting a sit and stitch tonight. Wanna come?

They have relocated from the end of the block to right outside my window. I should have sprung for the 60 minute instead of the 30.

It's a good thing I have a massage soon and wasn't planning on sleeping anyway. (Volume up.)

I love when people have hobbies.

Really wish bsky had polls. Because I can't decide if I should take a bus and a bike share ride tomorrow night, or if I should just drive.

There's a Corner Gas episode about this.

I have Walker, Texas Ranger on in the background, and missed the full intro into why they're apparently doing a Mormon Trek episode. Looks like I'll be doing some reading during commercial breaks.

Sometimes social media feels like you are writing headlines for an audience the size of [your following] Other times it feels like you are logging onto a YAHOO chat, circa 1999, and there are only [the number of your followers] in the entire world to talk to And that’s a weird duality to hold tbh

Tuesday was always going to suck. Working 11-7 Monday and Tuesday, but we have a staff meeting at 4 including a tornado drill and followed by a mandatory skip level meeting. And I'm not falling asleep right now like I ought to. (I have a dinner/bedtime date with the niblets.)

Felt like I forgot something as I was leaving for work. Realized when I was putting my lunch in the fridge that I had forgot to take my meds. Looks like I'll be repurposing a contact lens case to keep in my purse for just such an occasion.

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!

Last night, I curled the last game of the traditional season. Today, I got my first Nebraska Passport stamps. (And changed my profile picture.)

As River Tam says, "Sad little king of a sad little hill."

Note to self: come back sometime this month to try the taco pizza. Also, just Sunday you told yourself to check the board before you ordered.

Really feeling this song today.

Memorial Stadium on game day is the third largest community in Nebraska.

Zone conference gone wild?

Had a dream before work last night about curling on grass.

Two hours. I slept for two hours. Here's hoping that I can fall back asleep soon!

(To the tune of Wabash Cannonball) They're playing Arena Nationals at Dallas in the fall. (Kicking myself for not writing down what else came to me over the weekend.)

I was hoping this would aid the melatonin I took half an hour ago. Boy, was I wrong!

Friendship is being able to crash on someone's couch for a "night" while maintenance comes in to change the air filter at some point during business hours.

I thought I wasn't all the sore from bonspieling. Then I wiped down eleven tables and eight kitchen islands. By the third one, my arms were like "yeah, you did sweep close to 100 rocks in less than 48 hours recently."

Updated it and selected my favorites. 52, which means I'll get a tote bag.

Can we pleeeeeease do this in Aksarben? There are enough garage spaces, and then all the street parking could be handicapped and delivery/pickup spaces.
