 I have gone from violet to mermaid blue. It's REALLY blue right now. Needs to tone down a bit. Couple of days and it should look a little less crazy. 

Another rough day. This one was tough because there were a couple of people struggling to keep up, ones who kept leaving, and ones who weren't paying attention at all. But I got through it. With post class clean up I didn't finish until about 6. Then I had dinner and did my hair. That kept me until a little after 10pm. 

Point is, not much going on. When you teach from 8 in the morning until 6 at night then have a big task like my hair, there's not much time to do anything else unfortunately. Mentally I am doing okay. I did update my monitor situation. I had two out of three the same so I caved in and bought a 3rd matching one. It arrived around 7pm so while my hair was processing, that was my task. Here's the new setup in it's final glory:

That's the most exciting thing that happened to me yesterday. Today and tomorrow is a new group of 15 which will be a challenge. These newbie classes are rough because I have no idea anyone's computer skills let alone their reporting skills. There's always one older person for whom I am going too fast, talking too fast, not being clear, etc. Just got to power through it. All I can do. Then on Friday I can pay bills and go grocery shopping. Fun times.

 Rough day yesterday. Class of 11, all non-technical, many not wanting to be there. Out of 11 like 4 were interactive and engaged. The others were apathetic at best. Worst kind of class. We struggled with connecting to the server, we struggled with basic stuff. Frustrating day for me. Didn't finish until after 5, then I had to deal with garbage, made dinner, cleaned up after dinner, and then finally around 8pm got a chance to relax. Next thing you know it's bedtime. Makes it hard for me to have anything to really write about when I don't have time to actually do anything. 

Repeat today.

Y12 D307

 I was way off about yesterday. The person met us 1 hour and 15 minutes away so the driving was not bad at all. They met us in Frankenmuth. You know, the German town where we go to the CHRISTmas store? Turned out to be a really fun day. We left here around 9:30, got there about 10:45, waited for the person who showed a little after 11. (The scheduled time was 11:30 so they were early as well. Points for them.) After we did some antiquing, went into some different shops, and basically just had a nice day out. Mentally we have both reached a place where we can handle being in most retail spaces but not dining. Dining is a long way from feeling safe but in a store I can leave or move away from someone in most cases. Which was especially true yesterday as there were still plenty of Cheeto supporters walking around with their hats and t-shirts grumbling about the China virus, fake news, and blah blah blah. We did get a bit fatigued of these people after a while and decided to call it a day rather than stress ourselves out. We got home around 3 where B proceeded to take a "nap" until 9pm. Yeah, I know. I played video games, made dinner (brats and kraut I picked up earlier in the day), and went to bed. 

Four days of official training start today, Friday is informal mentoring, but I am booked solid this whole week. Here we go.

Y12 D306

 I'm up early on a Sunday because I have hours of driving ahead of me again today. This time it's to help B though. She is rehoming one of the axies and the person lives like 3 hours from us. We are meeting at a convenient "mid" point. But it's one less axie in the house. B has agreed to rehome at least three or four of them to help reduce down the amount of work, space, and money we spend on these things. It's overwhelming for her to have to take care of 10 of them anyway. 

Spent like 2 hours cleaning the cat room and all the cat stuff yesterday. All the spilled litter, cleaning their  mats, bowls, everything. That was my big chore. Played Dragon Age Inquisition, watched some tv, had pizza for dinner, and went to bed. Full week of training ahead so I had been looking forward to relaxing today, but this is important I will help out. Yay me.

Y12 D305

 I'm okay. Not much better than okay. Just kind of here and functional. I slept poorly. But when I did sleep it was sound. Just woke up way too many times.

Finished my fifth day in a row teaching. Boy was that fun. What a week. And oh joy, the next two will be exactly the same. Lucky me.

Made coconut chicken for dinner. Watched tv. Went to bed. 

Y12 D304

 Things are better. I also reached out to a therapist yesterday to see if they're taking new patients. No response yet. Let's see if I hear anything back today. If not, I go on to the next one on my list. 

Taught ALL day, answered emails after, finished around 6pm. This week has been long. Really long. I am looking forward to tomorrow. What a life huh? 5 out of 7 days a week we stress and deal with shit to have a lousy two days to ourselves. Nice process we've got going on here. 

Made walnut shrimp for dinner. Watched some tv. Finished Dragon Age 2 including all DLC and moved on to DAI. My life in a nutshell. 

It's raining outside. That I like. One more day of 15 people just to have another week of the same with a different set of people. And the days go by (same as it ever was, same as it ever was....)

Y12 D303

 Things got nasty here last night. It's my anxiety and depression causing us to argue. Plain and simple. I guess at the end of the day the real problem is I hate it here. MI, not at home. B wanted to use my truck today and I went into this weird protective mode that exploded into an argument. It's not that I don't trust her, it's that I don't trust the people around here. No one around here seems to respect other people's property. They're so caught up in being poor and helpless that if you have something nice, they try to ruin it. It's the monkey who tries to get the banana but is beaten down by the other monkeys. It sucks. We were at it until midnight. I haven't really slept and am in a pretty shitty mood. That's going to make for a fun day of teaching.

Taught all day. Argued all night. Fuck everything.

Y12 D302

 I didn't finish working until after 8pm yesterday. Not solid, but the fact that I was still doing work until that time at night severely pissed me off. I taught, then I had a stupid ass meeting until 6pm, ate, came back down to find a shit ton of emails, spent the next hour dealing with them. So my whole day was pretty much work centered and not much opportunity for anything else.

In good news, the kid got home around 11pm PST. They are no longer in Mexico. That at least makes me feel good. 

More teaching today. Nothing else to really report.

Y12 D301

 Kid is stuck in Mexico. Stuck at an airport thanks to flight being cancelled due to mechanical failure. Lovely. 

Yesterday sucked. I don't want to talk about it. Suffice to say, I am not in a great mood. This world is just fucked up and my mental state sucks. I'm tired of a lot of things right now. Just really fucking tired of things.

Another day of teaching followed by a 5pm meeting. WTF is up with that? Not happy about that either.

Y12 D300

 I used a LOT of spoons yesterday but boy oh boy, was it nice to be out of the house for an entire day. We left here at 11, drove the two and a half hours, found the shop, drove around the area, got food, drove home. We were out of the house from 11am until 6pm. Talk about a long day. Was the shop worth an over two hour drive? No. But it was still nice to get out of the house for an extended period of time. That portion was worth it. Plus we got to have Canes as the closest ones are in OH. We did each find one thing at the shop. B found this horrid needle punch of teddy bears that's just so go awful it's wonderful. I found a 40+ year old set of Charlie Brown 'Cyclopedia books. Really excellent condition too. I just thought it was an awesome thing to have. 

When we got back, B gave her friend who went with us a pedicure while I zoned out and recharged. Was still so tired I went to bed at 9:45.

FULL week of training this week. Starting today with 15 students and going through the whole week. Not complaining. Rather have that than nothing at all. This will be my schedule for the next two weeks. Can fly under the radar and be left alone. Works for me.

Y12 D299

 I slept in for sure today. Almost 9 hours of sleep. Much needed. I ran the humidifier last night which let me really breathe and get a good night's sleep. Very happy. Except that means I only have a couple of hours before we're supposed to leave for OH. Now I feel slightly but not massively, rushed. I will get there.

Did a few things yesterday. Went to Target to get body wash, Best Buy for new joycon controllers since B's sister broke ours (curbside pickup so don't worry), vape shop, fancy grocery store for dessert. Had leftovers for dinner. 

Not much else. Answered like 10 emails but whatever. It was what it was. Okay must go get ready. No time to dilly dally today.

Y12 D298

 Had a filled day. I am very glad I took the day off to help B with the girls. BUT I just opened email for the first time since Thursday and ugh, 7 messages to go through. People wonder why I check emails when I am on vacation. It's because I don't want to come home to 50 emails to deal with. I would rather carve out a small time and not have the stress. 

So let's see, I went to the grocery store, paid bills, watched Raya and the Last Dragon, we did a puzzle, worked on an iSpy book, made them lunch, and a dozen other things to help keep them entertained. We brought them back to their dad later in the evening, got ourselves food, and by the time everything was settled down, it was 9pm again. It was a busy day of a lot of little things. 

No plans for today. Going to Cleveland tomorrow though. Today will be pretty boring. 

Y12 D297

 I do not know how people my age have pre-teen children still and don't constantly collapse from exhaustion. Whether it's people who had kids later in life or grandparents raising their kid's kids, if that were me I would constantly be drained. We have B's sisters with us right now and after five hours of them I was ready to just crawl into a hole. They are tiring to say the least. Just so much energy and constant need. Same reason I don't own a dog. Too much for me. Luckily we only have them for the one night. I don't think I could take another full day. How did I do it when the kid was that age? Don't answer that - I already know. I was 20 years younger is the simple answer. 

Spent the day doing a one on one session. That was actually okay. The person was very engaged and had good questions. They had a good skill level and they were in a class suited for their needs. Was a refreshing change of pace. The class though has a LOT of material and even with only one student took me over six hours to get through. We finished around 3:30 and from there B and I went to get the girls. On the way back we stopped and visited grandparents, got dinner, came home and ate, then they all played mario party on the big screen. There was a juice incident and I lost a controller which sucks but it is what it is. Then they all watched a movie while I said screw it and went to bed. 

This morning I am off to the grocery store, then we entertain the girls for 12 hours or so, bring them back home, and it's the weekend. No immediate plans that I am know of for the weekend. I am waiting for my paycheck to come through so I can pay bills. Other than that, same ol' same ol'. 

Y12 D296

 We are closing in on another year. 70 days to go. My god, Smashmouth was right. The years keeping coming and they don't stop coming, now do they?

What the hell did I do yesterday? I had my webinar. Went quite well. 115 people. Not bad from a 280 sign up. That's about the norm for percentages. Plus I got major kudos from the attendees afterwards. Always feels good. I also spent time checking out alternatives to Goto Meeting because fuck them. The UI changes they made are so horrible that after 15 years of being loyal, I'm done. They're about to lose and account. I am considering switching to a pro zoom account. Not to mention, Zoom has become the Kleenex of online meetings thanks to the pandemic. Right place, right time. We're going to do a group test run on Monday.

We had fish and chips to celebrate last night. I use the word celebrate very mockingly. St. Patrick was a damn englishman people who destroyed the druid population of Ireland to make room for the bloody catholics. No hero in my mind.

Watched a little tv, went to bed.

Today I have a one on one session which hopefully will not take a full 8 hours. I am expecting about 4-5. We shall see. B is getting the girls overnight tonight so that will be um... noisy. Yeah. Let's go with noisy. She needs to see her sisters, I get it but I will probably hide. Just easier that way.

Y12 D295

Ever have one of those days where you feel like you have no clue what's going on around you? I very much feel that way right now. Like what are all of you talking about? By all of you, I mean my dumb ass coworkers. They're sending me emails that I guess I am just supposed to understand? But because I am a mushroom living in the dark, getting fed bullshit, I have no clue what they want from me. Oh well. 

Had a long, rough day yesterday. 15 students from 9-5. Very dry, dull group which made the day drag like crazy. I was so exhausted when I was done because I was putting so much energy into it trying to get them excited. Apparently that was a waste. Look, I get it. I get how after a year of being stuck in the house trying to get motivated to learn this shit is not high on anyone's list. I am feeling the same way about the emails and shit I have to deal with today. Hard to act like any of this is important when people are still dying. 

After class had leftovers. Watched some TV. Played video games. Went to bed. 

Happy me day btw. Have some ENGLISH food and wear orange.

Y12 D294

 Ze body, has how you say, reset. I slept wonderfully sound last night. I found clothes and temperature that were on the money. I had solid dreams, solid sleep, and don't feel sloggy this morning. Only took two days. It was supposed to have snowed last night. Haven't looked outside yet but even if it did I expect it wasn't a lot. Tail end of winter fighting the first part of spring. Fucking seasons. What a concept.

Really didn't do shit yesterday. Sadly. I did some testing in the morning, then spent the day reading stuff. I know I should be grateful for the calm before the storm but it just invokes guilt. I would rather be doing stuff. Like today I teach from 9-5. Perfect. No one can bug me, no one can be worried about me being billable. Starting next week I am two weeks booked solid but that's not this week. As Eddie Murphy once said "What have you done for me lately?". 

I was watching Raw the other night. Reliving past memories. I got to see the Raw tour in 1986/1987. Don't remember the exact date, but I was there. I hate to say it, but much of that show doesn't hold up well. Just some of the material is beyond offensive and is just downright wrong. Certain slurs, certain jokes. Like yeah, this wouldn't fly today because we are a better people. And that's not a bad thing. It's not "cancel culture" it's saying hey calling someone a slur for the expense of a joke really isn't funny. That's that.

Had lasagne for dinner and then B and I decided we wanted "dessert". Took a ride to Checkers and got banana milkshakes. Mine decided it wanted to come back up around 2am but I kept it down. Just a little too much milkshake for my body I think. At time of consumption it was good, but you know. Old bodies don't do so well as their younger versions.

The kid is in Mexico. They had that free trip and the company wouldn't allow for another extension. It sucks because they can't fully enjoy themselves but hopefully they will still have some fun. 

That's all that's new I think. That'll do donkey. That'll do.

Y12 D293

 Ugh, I am awake but at what cost? So tired. Fucking DST throwing me off. I tried to force myself to go to bed at normal time but I tossed and turned until 11:15, then woke up multiple times during the night. B is off too as they didn't settle into bed until after 4am. It's the most stupid time of year.

Went for a little drive yesterday morning. Needed to get squirrel food and the last time B went, they got food from Tractor Supply Co which had a larger selection than standard pet stores or grocery stores. I decided to follow suit. But I unfortunately went to a smaller location not knowing and while the selection was better, I didn't really save anything and probably cost myself more because I went 15 miles versus 1. The upside was I got out of the house for a little while and there's nothing wrong with that. 

It was about the only thing I did yesterday. I played some video games, watched some tv, had dinner. Other than my sojourn outside, not much else going on. 

I have a weird week this week. Nothing today, 9-5 tomorrow, webinar on Weds, 9:30 - 5:30 Thursday with one person, then nothing on Friday. Not complaining though because the following two weeks are 5 days straight. Calm before the storm. Maybe I will get lucky and get a vaccination call this week when I have some time to get in. We shall see.

Quick edit - I forgot to wish you all a happy pi day yesterday. I did enjoy some pie last night. And as for today, happy(??) Ides of March! Go stab someone!

Y12 D292

 As is the tradition, let's get this out of the way:

FUCK DST

Stupid useless out of date practice. Bah.

Okay, now that's done. Onward. I had one of the most productive days I have experienced in months. For real. I went to the grocery store, I seriously cleaned the house, I made dinner (that took hours), I did laundry - very much getting things done. 

Dinner was my crowning achievement. 31 hour roast. French potato pie. Radishes roasted on a tahini-yogurt sauce. Grilled asparagus. Fresh sourdough bread. It was a beautiful sight. Some tweaks needed if I remake a couple of things but overall, a success. Needed it.

Also needed this house clean. I did a full on open the windows and clean the baseboards spring cleaning. Felt very good when done even if I was exhausted at 8pm when everything was finally done. Because I knew I would be losing an hour this morning, I conked out around 9:45. Let myself have the extra time. Smart move on my part.

This morning I am off to get squirrel food but other than that, no plans. Quiet time day.

Y12 D291

 My 30 hour roast is still going strong. I finally caved in and bought a sous vide container and that was the best thing ever. In almost 18 hours of cooking I have lost a miniscule amount of water through evaporation. Huge difference when doing long cook times like this. I am excited to see how this turns out. I am going to serve it with a potato pie and some roasted asparagus. Should be pretty darn good. 

Spent the day doing a private training session with a student. They were so grateful because I didn't have to do it. This will lead to possibly a huge amount of both training and consulting work in the future. Worth the time invested. Plus I didn't really have anything else on my calendar so fuck it.

Had leftover chicken for dinner. Watched TV, played video games, went to bed. Not much else going on right now. Still doing okay mentally which is a win for me. Take the victories where you can, right?

Y12 D290

 I had a good mental health day yesterday. I in part credit Rob Zombie. New album dropped and I feel this may be his magnum opus. Everything is right about this album. The vibe, the feel, the mood. It truly is a work of art. I listened to it quite early in the day and it set the mood. It also helped that the weather is better. 

I spent the day testing the new server again which was a nice distraction from other stuff I have been doing. I also did a lunch and learn session. That went well. Again, another distraction from the standard fare of the things I have been doing. Much needed. 

Had chicken and waffles for dinner. That was quite tasty. I have been craving food too which is a good thing. Want to make something good. At noon today I am doing a 30 hour roast which will be exciting. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

B did her axie sleeve yesterday. I am sure there will be pics on social but I will wait until it is more healed to post one here. She needs to do a second sitting in three weeks. Shading needs to be finished. It took five hours to get the base done. From what I saw, it looks pretty damn cool. 

Played a ton of animal crossing yesterday. I needed a break from other games too.

Today I have a multi-hour one on one session with a client. Could take an hour, could take four. We shall see. 

Y12 D289

 Hello.

I'm okay today. Had a rant/vent session with B last night. I have to stop using them as my own personal therapist. It's not fair to them. But I won't lie, it helped. Today I will make an effort to find my own. End of discussion. Wait. I have to poop. Be right back.

Okay back. What? TMI? Hey you're the one who chooses to be here in my brain. Got to take the good, the bad, and the poopy.

Took the braids out of my hair yesterday. I have waves that people would kill for. People pay good money to have crazy psycho hair like mine. Sucks to be them. Of course I would kill for straight hair that doesn't go all wonky. Whee.

One of my students yesterday had to leave with about an hour left because they got hit with a tornado warning. Nice. I miss simple things like earthquakes. I can handle that. Tornados. Oy.

Finished class around 7, pretty much end of my day. B and I talked until about 9 so yeah, that was that. B may need to go to the cabin this weekend. One of the pipes burst and flooded everything. The entire cabin is covered in mold and the ceiling is thrashed. Because of their ServePro experience, the family knows what to do, but they need to assess if it is a family job or a pro job. If it's family, a few of them will head up tomorrow and spend the weekend trying to get things cleaned up. I saw the pics and it really does suck. Like the entire front room ceiling is on the floor. I feel bad for them. They don't need this kind of shit on top of everything else.

Have a lunch and learn with internal folks today. Then more testing of materials against the new server. I used it for yesterday's class. Went pretty well. A little slower than I would have liked, but overall no issues. One less thing I have to worry about.

That's all. You may leave my brain now.

Y12 D288

Spent the day testing shit. About to try and use our new environment to teach today so yesterday I ran through an entire class making sure everything worked. Found some issues. Had to rewrite a bunch of shit. Fun times.

Mad seafood mac and cheese for dinner.

Watched TV. 

Went to bed. My life.

Y12 D287

 $125 for someone to tell me my cat is fine. What a racket. But of course we all feel better knowing the cat is fine, now don't we?

Did shit yesterday. Read work stuff, caught up on emails, tested a new server. That last one was the important accomplishment for the day. We have a new environment. I will probably use it tomorrow for a class. Will do a test run through of the material today.

Chili for dinner. Leftovers for the week.

Not much else.

Y12 D286

 Did some big laundry yesterday. Like physically large. We washed all the sheets and blankets. Joy. Drying was the hard part because everything balls its stupid ass up and doesn't get dried. Every 20-30 minutes I had to check on it, unroll it, restart. Finally got through it all around 9. That was the day's big adventure.

In other news, I currently have two braids in my hair! B was like your hair is long enough to braid. I said no it's not. Well I got proven wrong. I love how it looks. I just wish there was more on top. My only sadness. It's different having long hair this time. Last time I never realized how much X2 didn't like it. I came to a realization about that - they are one of those sideways allies. The kind who says they support things until they happen in their house. Like it's okay to be gay/trans/disabled/whatever unless someone close to them happens to be one of those things and then it's not cool. For them, non-standard gender roles are okay in practice, but not in their household. Therefore, I was always pushed to have my hair in a ponytail or not too long or not too crazy. I see that now and see the difference with someone like B who is fuck yeah let's braid that head! Just making an observation. Regardless, I like my braided hair thank you very much. 

Made carnitas tacos for dinner. Quite tasty. Some left over for a snack today. I have nothing right now on the calendar. I am waiting not so patiently for someone to email me with what they want for the next couple of days. We shall see. I may be laying low and not rocking the boat. Just cruise. Taking a cat to the vet at 3:30. Got some ear troubles. Wax buildup on the poor kitty. Not the first time so it will be quick and easy and not too pricey luckily. Other than that, I don't have a lot scheduled.

Time to read the news and see what horrors happened overnight. It's not as bad as it was but there's still too many horrors for me to be happy. Still people dying. Not everyone is vaccinated. Still trapped inside these four walls. Good times.

Y12 D285

Didn't have to leave the house yesterday and it was wonderful. I got a bunch of little things done like laundry, cleaned up my office, touched up my hair, ordered new hair color, got our taxes situated, and ordered cat food. So while I didn't leave the house, I did get quite a bit done. From there I watched some tv, played some games, made steaks with mashed sweet potatoes for dinner, and enjoyed my Saturday. Pretty much going to rinse and repeat for today. I have a screwy week coming up with some days starting at 8 and others at 11:30. Going to be a bumpy week. Need to enjoy this weekend as much as possible. 

Even the world isn't doing anything horribly exciting. At least not as of last night 11pm. God only knows what horrors have happened overnight. But Uncle Joe is cranking along trying to undo all the messes of the orange one, bills are getting passed (albeit slowly and with much grumbling), but all in all, it feels much more normal around here. I will take that. 

Y12 D284

 It's been ONE YEAR since I went anywhere
Twelve months of a damn pandemic
52 weeks of going crazy
365 days of madness
but it will still be 3 years until republicans apologize

Yeah. I went to the grocery store yesterday. Bought myself a small pie to have today with a candle in it to celebrate the milestone of me not leaving the goddamn house. I will say I enjoyed going to the store on a Friday versus a Saturday. Less old white men. Much calmer to be honest. I had a long day though. Between grocery store, laundry, mentoring - it was a lot. Had a chance to talk with B about everything going on and spent some quality time together. That was nice. We had Mexican for dinner, watched the last episode of WandaVision. 

Today I will not be leaving the house. Going to touch up my hair and do nothing. I've earned it.

And of course I will have my pie.

Y12 D283

I am getting real tired of sales people sending me messages at 3 in the fucking morning expecting me to do shit on their timeline. If hear one more time how they're sooo busy, I am going to start punching people. 

Yesterday was March 4th. Did the cheeto get inaugurated? Or maybe, just maybe, can we put some of this ridiculous bullshit to bed? Can we finally start to move on?

So tired. So done. But can't stop. Have to work from 11-5 today on "mentoring". Such vague bullshit. Waste of my time.

Everything is feeling like a waste of time right now. Even just existing.

Y12 D282

 Yesterday was not good. I pissed off one of my students to the point where they left class without any warning and didn't bother coming back. I will probably never hear the end of that. They were having technical troubles and once again it was a "I need to see your screen" issue but this person was with DHS and was refusing to show me their screen. I was like I can't help you if I can't see the problem. That just annoyed them I guess because two minutes later they were gone. Buh-bye. Look people there's only so much I can do if you won't talk to me or share your screen. The upside is without this student the rest of the day went like 40% faster and I finished early. Maybe you didn't belong in the class in the first place? Hmmm. 

I am also annoyed at B. I know that part of my annoyance is coming from my anger with some work stuff, but it doesn't mean it's not there. I am just getting tired of feeling like I am the only one doing stuff around here. I am having those days where I feel like I am married to a child. They don't work. They hang out with friends until 1 in the morning getting high and watching cartoons, they hide in the bedroom all day - yeah, teenager. Meanwhile I am working 40-50 hours, dealing with bills, pets, house stuff, and everything else that comes out so they can do the above. Not fair. Not one bit. It's making me more resentful and angry with each passing day. I don't know what to do about it either.

Almost one year. Fuck me.

Y12 D281

 I fucking hate salespeople with a passion. Ours sent me an email at 1:36am scheduling a mentoring session with absolutely no info, no prep, no lead time. I have no idea what this person wants or needs. Plus no time set. AND I can't be responding to them because I am teaching the next two days. Fucker. I am now going into Friday blind. I don't like that. 

Worked on a few things yesterday. Got shit done. Had soup for dinner. Fuck my life. Fuck everything. Fuck the world.

Y12 D280

 Yesterday started off a bit rough. I was supposed to have this class. But in the morning I realized I hadn't had any confirmation or update on the student list or anything since 2/15. I had no idea who was going to show, if they were going to show, etc. At 9am 12 people show up. Okie dokie, let's do this. I managed to get through the day but I also was pretty pissed off at the sales person who called me at 5pm to lament how rough their life is. Okay buddy. Whatever. Sorry you are doing the job of four people. Doesn't excuse what you did to me. Whatever. I got through it.

I made an appointment for a new tattoo. March 20th. You shall see it when it's done. 

B made dinner last night. Had stuffed peppers. Helped with some tank stuff. Took care of garbage. The snow has melted and this has revealed all sorts of shit under the snow. Papers from neighbors yard, trash from assholes who litter, etc. Had to get out there and clean the front and back a little bit when I took the garbage out. 

Not much else going on. We're almost to the one year mark. I did get an email saying I am still on the vaccine list. Yay? When are you going to administer it you bastards? Soon I hope. Two doses. Can't even get the first one. `Think I am going to do a new hair color. Light purple this time. We shall see.

Can you believe it's freaking March already? A damn year has gone by. This time last year I was in Texas saying how this will all blow over. Yeah...

I had a very rough morning. First I had contact issues. I somehow lost one when I took them out Saturday night. I'm not sure how that happened, but it did. But there was a good 20 minutes where I was checking my eye to make sure it wasn't stuck in there somehow. Stranger things have happened. Then I spilled my rockstar all over my office floor. Fun. Then I went to the pet store to get B worms and got treated snarkily by a tiny employee. Like seriously she was five foot if that. Since I went out later than normal I was subjected to crazy people too. More fun. 

Our friend came over and we went to the At Home store and the grocery store. Both were wildly insane, I got overwhelmed and overstimulated. But our goals got accomplished. We then settled in and power watched all 8 available episodes of WandaVision. We took a break for dinner and resumed watching. What a great show! I can't wait for Friday for the final episode!

We finished watching around 9:30 and from there I basically went to bed. I have four days of teaching this week in theory. I am supposed to teach a group today but got zero info up front about it. We shall see what happens. Then tomorrow a weird 12-4 class, then two days of a public authoring class. Four confirmed in that one. Weird week ahead for sure.
