Woke up to 2 barely working fingers. I don't understand what I could have done to my middle and ring finger on my non-dominant hand that would cause them to swell up and not function without pain. This is b.s. Were they “stuck” in a bent position? If so, likely trigger finger. I had surgery on my thumb last year for that. And now my middle and ring finger are doing it. I need another surgery on my wrist so they plan to fix it when they do that one. Yikes! No, thank goodness. I hope the surgeries help you. For now we are just noting when the swelling and pain happen, how long it lasts, and what we think might have triggered it.

L's teacher told her she could have a skittle if she came to school without fighting it, that girl couldn't get on the bus fast enough! For one skittle, lol! I'm watching my nieces now and we are having a very low-key afternoon. 🤣 I know my kids would do the same for a skittle. Glad she had a better start.

I was only supposed to work Thursday, but my manager just called to say she has to call me off. Our covid census is high, so the department is slow. Oh well… I may take that day to veg on the couch with a new show.

You can all pity me. Our TKD studio is doing a 30 day "challenge" that includes no electronics/tv during the week (it's allowed on weekends). I'm mostly following it in the evening (I do play on my phone a little). But I'm very eye-rolly to the whole thing. I really like our instructor, but he was home-schooled and sometimes it really shows--this is one of those times. I'm sure he thinks that at the end we'll all be so engaged in other hobbies we'll be so glad we gave up tv. Nope. After working a 10 hr day, walking the dog, then going to TKD every night, by the time the girls are showered and we've had dinner it's usually already around 8:15. I'm perfectly fine with 45 minutes of tv for them until bedtime and for MH and I to zone out on tv until we pass out. It's too late and I'm too tired to do something really engaging. It's dark already by then so no outdoor activities. Plus I want the girls to do something that calms them down and doesn't get them riled up. There's not much to do other than board games (which tend to get them hyped up) and reading. It ends Oct. 15 and I'll be turning on the tv in the evenings so fast. The only good thing is no Monday or Thursday night football and MH yelling like a moron.

Today as my students were being dropped off, one mom asked if I used to work at the middle school. It was because I was her teacher. I’m now that old that I’m teaching my former student’s children. (I guess to be fair, she was 12 when I had her and her son is only 3). DS is supposed to be at hockey but DH went to a work thing with all his equipment in the trunk of his car. Picking up DD, then taking DS to off ice training, then I have virtual back to school night for DD.

E is doing better but still sick so she’s staying home with C tomorrow.
Haven’t even started my paper due on Sunday but I have to get it done Saturday because we are meeting L’s gf and her parents at Knott’s for a day of fun on Sunday. This was not the week to procrastinate
