1) Due to refill shenanigans with the pharmacy I do not have my psych meds on board. 2) I am in charge today at work. 3) Talk less, smile more.
Felt like I was being restrained (one of my fears) and snapped awake. Oh. No. Not that. Just Biscuit lying on my neck and Waffles on my forehead. Guys, stop. I was in the middle of an important dream about Magneto.
Heyyyy I got a little award today and some flowers. Very nice.
Oh. It finally happened last night. I was stressed from the elevator thing and the kids being super loud and wild. A kid took a roll of glue dots and wrapped them around himself like a mummy (like 6 feet of the stuff) and as I was unwrapping him, I dropped the roll and an “oh shit”…. 1/2
Biscuit has been super snuggly and clingy. So much so that I haven’t even gotten dressed yet. There are worse states to end up in 🥰
I just wish the cats weren’t so judgmental when I pull back the shower curtain and find them in there when I’m ready to take a shower. They always act like I am being the weird one.
My computer crashed again. I wanna take it out back and do it like Old Yeller.
Now this menace is curled up in my arms, hiccuping. It’s unfair 😂
Biscuit is curled up in a little ball on my tummy. You would never know he’s spent the last week knocking over and eating my plants.
I’ve decided I only care about goalies. I’m sure other players are great. But goalies are the best. I will not be taking questions at this time.
😂 I am so sweaty. But I look cute and people have said so, so I will get over it.
Y’all, I love the grade schoolers but they are so much more energetic than I am.
Husband: Well, that thing with the cats isn’t going to get taken care of this week because of hockey… Me: Oh, bb you think this week is special. #WaitTillPWHLStarts
My car is making a thunking noise and I’m like please nooooooo. Hopefully it’s the 75 library books in the back?? Plz? Always something. *shakes head*
My glasses will not be in till like November 3 😭😭 at the earliest 😭😭😭 and also I had to spend $200 on fancy-ass glasses to solve my migraine problem. 😭😭😭 so I am very sad. 😭😭😭🫠🫠🫠🫠
Hadta take my niece to school this morning. I think I got her there in record time. And I had enough time after to grab coffee and sit for a bit so I think I did ok this morning.
One of my menaces (the head menace probably) cleared a kitchen counter overnight and everything was on the floor in the morning. Somehow the soda did not explode.
Re: The new Steelers uniforms for Paris: meh. Not revolutionary. In the “why bother” category.
Just read this crucial, thoughtful new article by @mishiebhat.bsky.social. "Why Do Academic Librarians of Color Stay in the Profession?" is a great question to ask; the survey provides some surprising results. Extremely worth a read! 📚 muse.jhu.edu/article/1002...
Told the kid at Walmart electronics that I was looking for a coax splitter because I was the last person on the planet with a VCR. He found it and I said thanks, now I can watch THX Star Wars, like God intended. He looks me dead in the eye and says, “I don’t know what that means.”
Went to take a shower. Pull back the curtain. There are two cats bathing each other. Looking at me like *I* am the weird one.
I can’t sleep (a regular occurrence) but my resident menace is being cute and sweet so there is a trade off.
A friend gave me tickets to next week’s Pens game. Hubs has agreed to go. No small feat. I am going to be insufferable.
12 people at our program. That’s a lot for us. It’s about archeology. With the park rangers. The kids keep asking about bears. I love it.
I am bribing children to learn about archaeology and I feel good about it.
