Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat, you're a good teacher, even if it is ridiculously hard most of the time. I'm glad those kids have you around.

Yes, this is true

I have that thing too, msbelle, except in my case there really are people around me who keep pointing out all the ways in which I have failed on a daily basis. That may well be happening to you too. So don't be too hard on yourself for getting a bit hard on yourself now and then.

Me too. But until some of them are old enough to vote I feel free to ignore them. Noah and Katie are both super pissed off at me today and I just don't have the spoons to be able to write it off. I'm weepy and tired and I took a stupid doTerra essential softgel pill and keep burping up lavender/peppermint/lemon so I'm not in the mood for this.

new idea/variant on Buffista Island. Buy a plot of land, build a bungalow court of mini houses. have a central library/social space.

I love Bungalow courts. That's a good idea.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Would it be The United Forts of Pillowtown, or The Legit Republic of Blanketsburg?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm in. We can wrangle about the name the WHOLE TIME WE LIVE THERE

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm in. It'd be easier to get to than an island and less prone to typhoons. We can fence it with a traditional hedge of thorns. (Maybe that's just my ideal. I can compromise on shrubbery.)

I love the idea. Can we build it near a large park with paths for walks/runs/bike riding?

and I just don't have the spoons to be able to write it off

Ugh. I so get it. Sending you lots of love and support.

I took tonight off from stretch class because I just couldn't push myself to my max tonight on anything. But I've been grading and that has been useful so there's that at least.

I think the Tryptophan has been helping to at least keep me from wildly overreacting when I get stressed out, but it hasn't stopped me from stressing out. And I have been really tired in the afternoon but I don't know if that's due to the amino acid (I take it in the AM and the PM but not midday) or to my lack of meaningful downtime most days.
