The Daily: That Cockroach Story...

 Thursday, April 7, 2022

5:03 am: Hopping out of bed. Well, not hopping, but you know. I had an intense itch in my ear and all I could think about was that story I read (and wrote about at The News With No Sound) about the man with the whole ass cockroach in his ear. I don't have a cockroach in my ear. I don't have a cockroach in my ear. And this is how the day is starting.

5:17 am: The gym, again. Nothing new happening here. The man bun guy is here, he is intense. He does some kind of crunch at the same time he is doing pull ups. I have never been that strong, like ever.

6:57 am: Kids in the shower. Checking out the news, there is an eaglet in Big Bear, his name is Spirit. This is news in Los Angeles.

 

8:35 am: Someone is talking very loudly with a mega phone outside in my neighborhood, I think the local elementary school is having their field day at the park down the street. I wonder if the loud one realizes the WHOLE neighborhood can hear him.

 

11:01 am: Sitting a the dining room table (aka, screened in porch) just finishing up an article for tomorrow and working on videos for The Baby Gene on Tiktok. The husband wants poke bowls for lunch, fine with me, one less meal to cook today.

3:35 pm: Back from picking the kid up from school. He is still missing like five assignments in math...what the hell? So now I have to keep him grounded from his phone. Being a parent is such a drag.

5:15 pm: Baking a quiche in the oven, it's one of the things my kid will actually eat with little prompting. I enjoy being able to eat dinner without asking my fourteen year old to "take just one more bite, please".

8:09 pm: Continuing Being The Ricardos movie on Prime. Nicole Kidman sounds just like Lucy. I loved I Love Lucy when I was a kid.
