2020-03-24 Turning My Frown Upside-Down

I don’t have anything positive to say today it seems. My mind is cycling through points of irritation about my ex-husband, my current husband’s son, and just not having enough time to get everything that “needs” doing done. Most of this has roots in the current state of the world and the Pandemic. And frankly…

2020-03-23 Navigating the New Monday

I realized yesterday that just being home doesn’t qualify as time I need to recharge my battery. I need time alone. There’s a big difference between me being home while everyone goes off to work and school when I can get down with my own intentions and plans and parting ways after breakfast where I’m…

2020-03-20 Best Laid Plans 🤷‍♀️

Today I’m going to try… really try to get through the last third of my manuscript and revise those pages based on feedback from my mentor. I have a call with him tomorrow. *** I literally wrote that opening sentence 7 hours ago. I was called away by other duties as assigned and now it’s…

Today started the same as any other. We get up, make breakfast, and Jim leaves for work. The kids are on spring break which means they get to sleep in. I dial in for my 8am work meeting and prepare for a day of project requirement and deliverable discussions. It’s all going to be just…

2020-03-13 SugarCookie Shit Series Episode 2: The Friday the 13th Edition 😱

What is it today besides Friday the 13th?? The first day my kids are off school because of the pandemic. 😷 The end of the week and I have not yet my weekly goal for submission. 😦 My thesis manuscript has turned into endless revisions with no light at the end of the tunnel. 😧…

2020-03-10 Recovering from Rant-Fest

Last night was the second night I slept in my old bed. Today is the second day I’m restricted from going anywhere in public or near other people. The terrible mood I was in yesterday has slowly faded and Jim and I talked about it last night. He offered that my dream and mood was…
