It’s odd that people repeatedly make the same decision which leads to a similar conclusion: a problematic person has been rehired after being fired about a year and a half ago. They are starting the same old bullshit, about to get fired again. It’s time for this person to be blacklisted.
✔ Finalize and email out tomorrow's schedule for the barn
✔ Full self-care shower (inc hair, shaving, and foot scrub)
✔ Send end-of-term potluck sign-up email for the barn
Still to do:
🍴 Finish clearing to the dining table and get that set up
📦 Unpack and put away kitchen stuff
✈ Carefully plan a trip next month
🧶 Finish the hair for my Ukrainian amigurumi doll
📚 Start reading books at bedtime again, not scrolling insta reels
Flowers in the early morning sun. My iPhone says they are fortnight lilies or wood iris; fortnight lily seems like the better match. #bloomscrolling#today#garden
Good morning, lovely people! The grey sky is killing me! I was promised sun!!!!! Walkies and caffeine have been achieved. On the book: laundry, start on the matching skirt to the top I made yesterday, tidying up. The clutter always builds up over the weekend. #today#mondog#roughcollie#dogs
I was hoping #today might start with some sun but woke to more gray. If the forecast is accurate, we should get some sun midday and all day tomorrow.
I missed my window for a run this morning. I hurt my foot last night, banged it into Ziggy's crate in the dark, so not sure I wanted to run on it anyway. I will still exercise, my non-running regimen. I do better when I get more exercise in each week rather than let it slide too many days.
I'm skipping my early-morning walk today because I have an early-morning doctor's appointment instead. I'm meeting a new primary care physician since my last one quit the profession after I'd seen her only once. And the one before then quit the practice after I'd seen her for a couple of years.
Do you think it's me?
A lot of doctors in the US are quitting, partly from burnout after covid, but mostly, I think, because of the way they are hamstrung by the insurance companies dictating how they are allowed to do their jobs: what treatments patients are allowed to have, what medications, etc. It must be incredibly frustrating.
Anyway, I'll be heading out soon, then come back to a nice day and more writing.
Well, here it is again, as unwanted as ever - Monday. It wasn't a bad weekend, even though it rained each day at least a little bit, making it 16 out of 20 weekends so far this year. I did manage to squeeze in a mowing of the lawn to at least show someone lives here. We played #Seafall on Sunday, getting in a whole "game", which was fun. It makes 8 games out of probably 20 for this campaign legacy game. #boardgames
Not much planned for #today,. My wife drove herself in this morning, freeing up 90 minutes or so of my day. I need to make some phone calls. Get someone to give us a price on trimming the trees in the backyard. I should call the doctor's office to talk about my problematic knees. They aren't terrible but they aren't right either. Tonight watch the first Mad Max with @adrienne. The upcoming movie looks amazing and I think it would be fun to rewatch the entire series. #movies#films@movies
It's only 6pm and I'm in my comfy clothes already. I started my day at 3am, had an extended family breakfast from 8:30-10am, cleaned the house, replaced some window screens, and cut and trimmed the lawn. Basically, a day of adulting, my battery is running low. I hear bacon sizzling in the pan, so at least there's that. 🥓
Have a wonderful evening everyone! 🙂 I'm hoping for TV in bed if I get my way. 🤞
The gray weather has returned #today but the forecast for the week has shifted. We may get a few showers this afternoon but looks like the first half of the week may be clear.
I've assembled a new rake and plan to spend at least part of my morning working to get two trimmings worth of leftover, wet grass clippings bagged up so we'll be less reliant on the dry weather in case the weather shifts again.
Our weather is a yo-yo. After temperatures far above average, we’ve turned cold. It’ll reach 52°F/11.1°C, but it’ll take all day to get there.
It won’t be much over freezing when I walk, & with possible showers.
My writer self finds comfort in this weather.
Today’s targeted editing chapter is the moment when my MC, after a heartfelt journey seeking details about her past, cracks open the door to the unexpected...
There's an old joke with many versions about someone praying to win the lottery day after day, year after year, until finally, usually on a death bed, the deity reveals "You never bought a ticket."
That joke's on my mind this morning.
No particular reason.
Other than a niggling feeling that I might not be making the efforts I need to make to achieve the outcomes I say I want.
Hi #mastodon if you can see my post please boost so it can be visible to everyone & hoping somebody will notice me and get reunited & get interactions again :cwy: :BlobhajHeart:
