Just going random tonight. No trigger warning, just whatever spews from me brain.
Some Thoughts:
- I cannot decide if leaving when you are not wanted is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand there is definitely an advantage to walking away, because you likely have a chance to start over somewhere new. On the other hand when you leave you reinforce their idea of who you are in their heads and maybe a little in your own as well.
- Perhaps instead of running all the time the answer is better found in staying put and defining more reasonable limitations around what you do. A Jack of all trades is not only an Ace of none but is the weakest and most easily neglected of the face cards–barely more worthwhile than a ten.
- first encounter with lice has my skin still feeling itchy. My first born was infected briefly and now I’m terrified that I have the lice. This is likely not the case, but I can feel things crawling all over my head–at least in my head.
- Heel cups. This is the answer to a great many issues with kids’ feet.
- My son’s cat secretly wants to eat me.
- Coffienerdness: Folgers crystals is a terrible instant coffee, but it reminds me of spending time with my ex mother in law. I bought a case.
- I made it to my desk. I found the brown (who knew?) surface of the expanse and managed to eek out a few useful words. Good thing too, because my writing group is expecting words strung together by Sunday.
