I’m here. Dealing with a sick cat, prepping for vacation, having a cold and house buying stuff.
Can’t the universe spread things out a bit and not have everything happen at once?

Finished 1/3 of the blocks for the quilt this weekend. I did lay the remaining 6 blocks and have the fabric sorted into marked bags so that should go quickly. I found a rhythm the other night, but lost steam fast. I want this quilt completed in 15 days, so I better hurry. EEK

We've got 2 more weeks til vacation. I can't wait for a break. Idk if it's end of the year burnout or what but DS has been on 💯 lately & I just can't deal. Like the other day it felt like his mouth was going non-stop the whole day & he can't control his volume either. Well the day ended with him getting a migraine & throwing up. Like he literally gave himself a headache. 🤯 Listen to us, dude!!

Ex-GF called this morning to tell me the DS had a fever. She couldn't skip work so I get to. I haaaaaaaaaaate missing school. Someone else being in my library gives me such anxiety, but I want DS to feel better.
Bonus is that it gives me time to work on gf's quilt. Yay!
JoAnn has a sale tomorrow on batting, so I'll be going there at some point for that and also the quilt backing. If I could get the top done today and then baste and quilt a little tomorrow I'd be in good shape. This is a gf weekend so I can't work on it Thur-Mon, but will have plenty of time the following week/weekend! I MIGHT GET THIS DONE GUYS!!

Update: DS still has a fever. He decided to take a nap and has been zonked for over an hour. Ex-gf offered to take him tonight because she's off tomorrow and I have to work.
I told gf that ex-gf was taking DS tonight and her reply was that she's busy until probably late tonight because she committed to going to her dad's house. Uh, okay? Just updating you on what's happening gf. Never asked to be invited to sleepover.
Whatevs. I've completely capable of sleeping at my house, all alone though I've actually never done that here. But I can and now probably will. It gives me time to finish this quilt top and binge the show I just became hooked on.

He's been handling it very well. He can be extremely emotional from time to time but he was like that separation, too. PLUS he's starting to go through some early puberty stuff. But overall he's handling it well.

I took a bit of a hiatus, but it looks like it's been slow.

We’ve been on holiday the last 2.5 weeks, now I’m back. Everything has been approved and done for the new house but we will only move during the summer holiday so starting to look at new schools for DD.

Oy what a welcome back from vacation.. We got denied for STEM school because they allegedly received too many in-district applications. When we went for the design challenge night, she made NO reference to in district kids getting first dibs. In fact, she said it's a freaking lottery system. & poor DS has been asking if STEM school has "emailed" yet. UGH I wrote them a nasty few email exchanges like you people are supposed to be educators. This crap should be clearly listed on your website. We shouldn't have even been strung along into coming to the school that night to get his hopes up. We weren't going to be in even at that point. Like, you know how many kids applied at that point. Send us the denial before inviting us out so my kid doesn't fall in love with the school.

Birthday trip was great. GF took me to a casino(I'd never been). Ended up winning $100. We went to lunch at our favorite place and then to an indoor water park which was amazing. We both looooooove the water and it was exactly what I needed. She did a great job planning and knows me well.

I’m around! My son is allergic to the outside!?! (Trees, grass, and weed pollen) He played outside for 3 hours and after a few hours, he looked like I dipped his hands in acid!
