The worst is that Noah was super anxious that I wouldn't get it done for tomorrow. He talked about it for quite a while on the way home. Am I that unreliable?

Hooray for NOLA knowledge!
I had such a shifty day at work today that I would welcome the norovirus. It's too bananas to get into, but Captain Logic (or Lt. Reality or Commander Professionalism or Ensign Consistency) is really not driving the boat in my office. I don't even know what to think, do, or say anymore.

My latest @@ school project is that next week Isaac's grade is having a tea for moms, which sounds nice, except he's expected to wear dress trousers (seriously--NO JEANS) and I'm expected to wear an Easter hat. Really? I have to buy clothing for a school project?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had to make an Easter bonnet for primary school once. I adorned it with a cardboard lobster with articulated claws. (Feel free to use this idea.)

I would be all for hat shopping had it been my own choice. I'm just mildly resentful that's it's being required of me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Brilliant!
I'm starting to think Facebook has Marcied me. Can the algorithm do that if you don't post very often?

Lots of ~ma all over the place: housing, coping, health, whatever you need I hope you get it.
Only one job tomorrow, hooray! And then a bit over 48 hours without having to work! It will be glorious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We were recapping the spelling bee, and my VP said "who doesn't know schadenfreude???" And I said something about "who is that nice??" And then came downstairs to my coworker saying she had never heard the word and couldn't imagine using it. So I guess she's the one who is too nice to even know about schadenfreude...

Thanks to Buffistas, not only am I hyper aware of how I take a shower but I'm now over thinking the hotel room experience. I checked in last night after midnight. I turned on the lights and thought, ah-ha, that is the first thing I do, then my brain countered with "it's fucking dark, of course you turned on the light". Ok, I put my bag on the bed, that is it. And again with the brain "the back is fucking heavy, of course you put it down". Oh, oh, oh, I used the bathroom "Well, duh, you had to pee, where else would you go".
And back on the shower topic, I have used two non-home showers in the last two days and I apparently change my routine completely based on where I can stash my toiletries and how good the water pressure is. I have no patterns.

I guess kids young enough to compete in a spelling bee are probably too young for Avenue Q? Because after that show, I will never misspell schadenfreude again. (In fact I was singing along as I typed that.)
