I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How are you supposed to feel about students who come once every ten days, presumably so their families don’t lose state benefits? How do I care without it becoming worry?
14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.
WFTY: Priorities. Brought grading home this weekend. Bleugh! I think I need to do three class sets tomorrow and maybe six on Sunday. That should have me pretty well prepped for the next week. Oo, and I forgot to turn in lesson plans. Whelp, that'll have to wait. *shrug*2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.1 -

Other than that, I have so much housework to do; I can’t believe I’ve let things get this bad. Also went to a career counselor and he completely ripped apart my resume so now I have to revamp that. And I’ve barely written all week because work zaps all my creative energy.
Hoping to make at least a little bit of progress this weekend so one day I can quit the corporate world altogether, spend as much time in nature as I can, and just live off my writing. But my total royalties last month were about $13.00, despite launching a brand new book so…I’ve got a ways to go
Logged my food and water. Survived the work day. Did one load of laundry. That’s all I’ve accomplished today. Going to a writers networking event tomorrow morning then back to cleaning my apartment and trying to work on my own writing.2 -

Had a really busy & long day Saturday, and just laid around yesterday. Today is another long work day, and a run day. I'm totally not feeling it, but I'll do it. Other than that, I'm not sure what I have planned. One long day and I'm wiped out for multiple days. It's crazy.
My pooch is starting to have seizures. They put him on medicine, but it will take a couple of weeks to kick in. Right now he is also starting to experience trouble walking. I'm afraid it won't be too much longer that we have his company.

Heather - I like the new painting as well. It’s funny how different styles evoke different feelings.
The craft piece is all cut paper, but it’s cut in my Cricut cutting machine. I bought the file. It was a lot of fun. We are wanting to do another one now. She compared it to a puzzle.
Vicki - Are your feet still hurting, I bet that’s what set your hip to hurting.
Lisa - If I had my life to live over again, I would make different decisions when it came to work ethic in my partner.
DH has no problem going to work and rarely misses a day when he likes the job. When he doesn’t he will call in sick. He’s been known to quit jobs with no notice and been let go for attitude. This is one of the reasons I was never able to walk away from situations, even when I should have.
Pip - I hope you enjoy your new bike. I can’t walk as fast as I used to. I have never ran.
Lisa - I can feel the gratitude coming off the page when you write about Corey. Kelsey choosing to stay with him sure does speak volumes.
Kim - I am appalled that they would expect anyone to have to pay 5 months at once . What a mess. I think I would call my congress person as well. My FIL was fond of calling the MLA (equivalent to your congressman) here and he managed to get a lot settled.
I didn’t do much at all today. My very late night last night wiped me out. I think I’m going to head to bed early tonight.
