sort of ready
Jun. 4th, 2015 07:17 pmI've gathered together most of the stuff we need for the weekend with my parents. I have some anxiety brewing about this visit. I'm not thin, svelte, or in shape, so there will likely be criticism or comments about it from my mom. She also dislikes my tattoos and wishes I'd stop getting them. But she loves her grandbabies, so maybe she'll be too distracted by them to nag at me.
Emi's skin is very broken out. Like, big open sores behind her knees. If she wears shorts on the bus, she gets all sorts of things on her skin - milk, dog hair, lotions, food, etc - and her skin reacts violently. But if she wears long pants and gets totally sweaty, the same thing can happen. Just not good. Summer will be better. Swimming lessons will help this heal. It's just bad now.
Alex is his usual self. He's expressive and funny and I wish he'd talk because he has so much to say. I'm worried about him getting enough to eat and not having a vomit fit because we didn't read a label and OOPS! it had soy in it.
My Fitbit is disappointed in me. So is my hemming pile. Duolingo thinks I'm doing an okay job and am now 35% fluent in German. One out of three is not bad.
I'm listening to the full cast recording of The Graveyard Book and it is a lovely thing. I started reading a book called Surviving Mental Illness Through Humor, but the humor is scarce and it's a lot of stories that hit far, far too close to home. So I stopped that one and started reading Uprooted by Naomi Novik. So far, it is good.
Today is a sad day. Work is frustrating and a little evil. Emi doesn't want to go to bed and is coming up with every excuse under the sun to avoid it. I need to go practice my German, attempt my GW2 daily, and get sleep. This "waking up just as tired as when I went to bed" thing is getting old, fast.
