Oh snowmoon, that all sucks. I demand a do-over day for you so you can have some time to yourself. You deserve that and more! Happy belated birthday!

Hugs snowmoon. I know the pandemic is ruining everything for everyone. But yh could try to make some sort of effort. I mean come on. Have you talked to him? Does he know how overwhelmed you are? Is he trying? I hope the cake you made yourself was awesome, and I hope you are some for breakfast today. Happy belated birthday.

Hugs, snowmoon. Happy belated birthday! I'm sorry it was such a downer of a day. Please do campaign YH for a do-over because you more than deserve it!

Lovely. I've been infected. Thanks, children, for always being sure blow your germy breath right into my eyeballs. Oh, and A is snotty, too. That makes 3/4 of the house

Thanks tj. He knows and heโs trying. Heโs dealing with a lot of his own physical and mental health issues and Iโm trying to give him grace. Weโre both on waiting lists for individual and couples counselling.

Damnit, now A has a fever (~101ยฐF). PCR tests scheduled for me and her tomorrow. I cancelled my in-person lesson tomorrow out of caution. Boo hiss.

The sinus pressure is enough, tyvm

FIVE INCHES OF SNOW SHOULD NOT MEAN REMOTE LEARNING. THESE KIDS NEED TO SOCIALIZE AND GO TO SCHOOL. THIS IS NEW ENGLAND.
sorry. Not what I expected to wake up to.

Today is the epitome of pandemic life.
Work calls, "snow day", remote school we didn't sign up for, early release for the other one (do I leave one home alone on zoom school while I get her?), wife at work in a quiet office, dad having procedure downtown while mom sits in the parking garage in a snowstorm, guy working in basement, no end in sight.
But at least I'm in my cheetah pajama pants? I'm actually okay. I see the humor at this point and am not doing any work other than required calls. So whatever.

Sanity check, please. R is back at school today, but I kept A home because she got the same low grade fever (that R had on Fri) yesterday evening. Her fever broke overnight, but we're still getting PCR tests today out of precaution... I should prob keep her and myself home until we get results, right? We're just stuffy, but like, pandemic life means we should wait for results, right?

TY I messaged my day training client (that I don't have contact with M-Th) and just let her know I would be taking extra precautions and waiting for results. I really hope we get results back quickly. The girls have Valentine's parties in class on Thursday. They'll be so sad if they miss them

Hybrid drop off is not getting better. Eโs is quick and easy. Cโs is a pain in the ass. We either get there 20 minutes early and sit, or get stuck behind buses that block the way to drop off for 15 minutes while they wait to unload.
They really need someone to direct traffic around the buses.
I almost kept my grey jogging pants on this morning for all the drop offs. But I didnโt want to be side eyed at daycare.

I wear sweats or leggings to each and every daycare dropoff/pickup. As do the other parents who are clearly working at home. Zero effs given.

I literally dropped off in my pajamas today. With warmups over the bottoms and a jacket over the top. no bra. Hat.
I just cant GAF.

You guys. Shout out to my husband. He doesn't understand why I'm feeling anxiety about a particular thing, but he knows I am, and he's supporting me around it.

Negative for me and A! She's going back to school tomorrow, hooray!
And S is sniffly now too. I caught him sucking on a throat lozenge, and kinda don't feel bad because he gives me a hard time about always catching it when he doesn't.
Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'm mostly hoping for my symptoms to go away overnight. Wishful thinking, eh?

I unblinded from my trial earlier in the week because I was able to get a vax appointment, which I promptly canceled because I officially got the real vaccine back in November!
