I was a notary at my previous job and I hated it. Every summer we had a rush of parents who needed to notarize their kid’s home address for the schools and no one ever did it correctly.
I must have rolled a 0 for charisma.
I must give off a powerful mom vibe because I am apparently tween repellant.
Three groups of middle schoolers are hanging out in three different places in the library that *aren't* the teen room. Meanwhile, I'm completely alone in here.
Problem is, they've figured out the blind spots in the building and hide out in corners and nooks and in dusty abandoned aisles.

I bombed on a feeling
Now Iran is reeling
'Cause I'm a lunatic!
Oh! And I found out I've been applying my estrogen incorrectly!
I feel like doing this:
Argh! And then I tried to replace a latch on a wooden box and I have the wrong size screws!
PLUS! When I went to address baby shower invites this morning there weren't any envelopes!
Adding insult to injury: Spouse is in CA until Sunday and I have no one to grouse at but the cat.
I accidentally ordered the wrong size wood sheets for the Cricut. I was hoping to create my cipher wheel for the escape room today. Rats.
Thank you! It took a long time for me to accept and love my curly locks!
A middle aged white woman with asymmetrical curly gray hair and glasses sits in a car.
Never saw the appeal of the car selfie but the light was good this morning.
I used to belly dance with a bunch of witches.
I can fit 15 teens in here but they are like skittish deer who run away at the least disturbance in their personal bubble. Weirdos.
There's this weird thing I've noticed in the teen room - if there is just one kid at the table no other kids will sit at it. There is currently a group of teens playing a game on the floor in the children's room because there is one other teen in here and heaven forbid they sit anywhere near me.
It’s a crappy day but I did wear my new mariner shirt and I look like an old timey sailor.
You know, there’s this fan in the teen room that blows noisily all day until 3:30 when it powers down dramatically. It just occurred to me that that’s pretty much when my adderall wears off. It’s like a fun sound effect for my brain.
I'm grouchy. Petulant. Pouting, even. It's a gray day in March in Massachusetts, I've been up since 6 am and I'm ready for a nap, yet for some reason I need to be at work for another 6 hours. SIX HOURS. Now I'm gnashing my teeth.
I know physical therapy is what’s going to help with these headaches but when I wake up with one the last place I want to go is PT.
I managed to get medicine into the cat all by myself tonight. I feel invincible
Yesterday a coworker told me I was losing too much weight. I sat there, dumbfounded, before finally telling her “what a weird thing to say to somebody.“
I guess she didn’t get the memo about not commenting on people’s bodies.
I do not recommend tinnitus. Sometimes you just want it to be quiet in your head, y’know?
I guess the thing that bothers me the most about my kid wanting to change his name is that he's now saying he always hated his name. I can't believe it took him 26 years to tell us this.

The Berkshires in general
I think if they're well researched and address any thorny issues head on they're great. We've learned a lot from the Newport mansions.
Got a jump and made it home ok. At the garage now waiting on a new battery. What a morning!
I had a telehealth appointment in my parked car and when I tried to start my car afterwards nothing happened so I am waiting for AAA. I had to cancel the audiologist appointment at 10 and now they can’t see me until June.
I am *this* close to tears.
I like to think he trusts us because we’re good parents but he also has no filter! He likes to drop bombshells and then mosey away while others pick up the pieces.
I love him but I want to strangle him.
I get my vacation time upfront at the beginning of the year but have to earn my sick time every month. I currently have no sick time. So I end up scheduling appointments before work which results in days like today: PT, followed by Psych, followed by audiology all before noon.
I turned our overripe bananas into banana bread. Please clap.
There’s actually a CT pizza trail you can follow!
The Pequot museum is worth seeing, too.
I have just been named last on the staff supervisor hierarchy, which hopefully means I will never have to deal with some bullshit.
