I am so.tired. Insomnia last night worrying about how my parents will make this project as impossible as they can while insisting they want it and also wrapping things up at school. Turns out the things I need to do aren't taking so long. Example: my desk is now cleaned out. Everything I'm going to grade is now entered in the gradebook. I'm in great shape. Worries about my parents shenanigans are receding for now, and I'm able to compartmentalize again. Time for a nap, and then later, some protein something or other.

Sleep should help put it in perspective too.

A nap helped! I think ill sleep tonight.

Despite knowing it's always the way, worries always feel so much worse and insurmountable in the dark of night. A new day shines the light on things that don't seem nearly as scary.

You are so right. Once I got to work and started my to do list I felt better.

125.4. Well deserved uptick due to beers and fried bar food yesterday! Still in the lower end of my range so all is good!

Weather in WI has sucked. Cold and rainy today. Nothing even resembling summer. It is making me grumpy!

DH and I got some plants to replace ones we lost. We wanted to put in Hostas but couldn?t find 4 matching ones so we went with a purple colored bush. We don?t want to spend too much since we plan on selling the house next year. Let the new owner?s make it their own. We are trying to fill a big 8 foot circle that has the stone curb surround around it. Putting in the curb surround killed off the Autumn Blaze Maple that was there and pulling out the stump killed off the hostas that were around the tree! I think a water feature or bird bath would look nice in the middle of the circle but again, we will let the new owners decide what to add. For now we will settle with putting in 4 bushes and having metal cranes (the birds) in the middle.

Vacationing people, continue having a grand time!

Healing people, continue to heal and rest up as much as possible!

Almost retired people, enjoy your last days. Guard your free time!

Semi retired artists, keep up on your stock and enjoy what down time you have!

House renovating people, praying the bathroom doesn?t need too much rework!

Better weather forecast for tomorrow, I hope it reaches Wisconsin.

Sorry your weather is so yucky! Every weekend in Massachusetts has been terrible for the last 3 months. Maybe once Mother Nature gets it out of her system we will all have a beautiful summer.

Selling? Have you decided on Florida after all?

Yes, Florida is back on the table at the moment!
