The Daily: This is an easy Monday

Monday, April 18, 2022

 

4:01 am: Give me a break. I was hearing noises in the house so I opened my stupid eyes only to realize it's 4 in the morning. The noises? Who knows.

 

5:28 am: Waiting on the alarm to go off so I can shut it off and get our of bed. Heading to the gym.

 

5:51 am: The gym is pretty empty. Still the usual suspects but thinned out for sure. Fine with me, I don't need those peeps around to work out.

 

7:48 am: Updating the blog. Working on a story for The New With No Sound, a kindergartner brought a premixed margarita to  school and shared with her friends. Oh boy.

9:09 am: Going out into the yard to replant this basil plant I bought at Trader Joes. It's impossible to water because it's sooooo packed into the stupid little plastic pot it came in. This is like the 3rd attempt at growing a basil plant so I am giving it a little extra attention. This one is going to work, damn it.

11:00 am: Sitting down to do a little writing. Working on a story about a man who sued his work for celebrating his birthday at work when he didn't want them to. I can feel that. 

12:15 pm: Just got an email from the kids teacher saying that they have a report that is due tonight and the kids should have worked on it during the long weekend. She sent this email on Monday...not Thursday night? Not Friday morning. On Monday? Thanks for the long weekend reminder.

1:50 pm: Taking the kid to meet his friends at the park.  A plan that I let him make before I knew he had this report due. 

5:35 pm: Getting dinner made. I've been standing in the kitchen for a long time now. My feet are TIRED.

7:37 pm: Helping the kid with his report. I really wish I would have known it was due tonight. I would have locked him down and got this shit done on Saturday.

8:50 pm: Watching Inventing Anna on Netflix. I started this like three weeks ago and only managed to get through one episode. Ep two is a little smoother sailing so far.
