Today is the last day of ballet technique intensive for Cadence. Next week is ballet performance intensive and they show what all they've learned in a little performance Thursday afternoon. I'm going to miss it. I may have mh video call me so I can watch. They are doing Coppelia both weeks and she absolutely loves it. I showed her some youtube videos of various dancers doing pieces from it.

Hi.
A few things…
I was more productive yesterday. Yay.
My new manager texted me yesterday so I can have her number and I told her I reached out to HR to find out about attending orientation but haven’t heard back. I got the call earlier approving me to attend so I start work Monday.
I have a half bag of coffee from vacation so I decided to not buy k cups so I can use the bag in the reusable pod. Big mistake. I tried twice today and both were awful. That reusable thing is not ideal. I grabbed a decaf pod I still had from the hotel. So bad coffee it is.
So far I like The Fall. I do love the British crime shows, but they need to be longer seasons. I need MOAR. See also: Luther.

The subject matter is trigger-y, but I liked the mystery and the relationship between the two detectives.

Also, hi! The sun was finally out yesterday so we swam and played outside. Lather, rinse, repay for today. Our makeshift basement playroom is slowly coming along and mh is building a cabinet for a tv stand and installing our old wii down there so the kids can play tonight.

They do have her name on the list as being interested if there is space, though. It's just dumb because she is technically the same age as some of the 3rd graders, she just missed the stupid birthday cutoff going into kinder. I really wish they would do things by age or experience.

I'm sorry you'll miss the performance klong11 . I hate that. Being a working parent sucks sometimes.

I'm at the office today and tomorrow. With less than 24 hrs notice we were told there's a mandatory meeting here today. The admin staff got a new boss. The position was vacant for over a year and clearly didn't need a replacement, but while we're fucking swamped and they won't hire a new BH person, they filled this position. She's worked here for several months now but there has been no sign of life or her existence. Then suddenly today she wants a meeting. Never mind all the work to be done. Whatever.

I was midway through the second or third season I think and then just stopped watching.

Sometimes it depends heights, since the costumes are existing, but it's usually the better ones that are offered a role.

Speaking of shows I've been watching more of My So-Called Life. I could write a manifesto on what an awful person Jordan Catellano is. I kind of want to watch it with the girls when they are teens so we can go through and dissect what a complete douche canoe he is who has no respect for anyone and how toxic any relationship he would ever be in is because he's such a dick.
New season of Never Have I Ever is out!!!!

tgrimes How is H? Is the parotitis gone? IT's not as red and I feel like its not as big as it was, but he's still complaining about it hurting. Poor dude. He's spending the night with grandma tonight though so I'm sure he'll forget about it pretty quickly. Lol. She's going to watch him for me tomorrow and then Mon-Wed next week. I don't want to take any chances of him picking something else up at daycare. She wanted to take him to chuck e cheese but I vetoed that. Too many germs.

MH went back to the office yesterday and today. I drove back to the beach this morning because DD had plans with a friend. MH will be here tonight and so will friends of ours. I took all 3 boys to get groceries and now I’m putting my feet up while C naps.

SSDD here. I am trying to stay above water at work but it’s manageable. My eating has been crap though. I’ve been treating myself since my birthday. I should stop but I also want a turkey club with curly fries from a local pizza place tonight so maybe tomorrow…
C had his first field trip at camp this week. They went mini golfing and then they went inside to the arcade. I didn’t know there was an arcade and am all cringey about it due to Covid. Our area has extremely low case numbers and he was masked so I need to un-clench a bit. He also really wants to see Space Jam at the movies. They are requiring seat reservations to spread groups out. We may give it a whirl. It’s very uncomfortable (and expensive) re-acclimating to the world.

There is about a 50% chance (okay, maybe more) I rent out the theatre for the showing for these reasons.

Hi. It’s been very busy here. I’m training the new guy (a friend of mine so it’s fun). However I still have to do my normal job. Also I got offered another lateral move with a possibility of promotion in 8 months. The lateral move is a temp assignment so if I don’t like it I can go back. But the temp job is to prepare me for the possible promotion. It’s not a guaranteed promotion I would have to apply but this temp job would give me a leg up since it will train me.
