Why does it feel like I have to put out 3 times the effort to get half the amount of work done?

Live look at me trying to process just 1 personal thing while the world melts around me:

I told my husband about the possum who ate an entire costco sheet cake and had to go to the hospital. "The opossum hospital," I corrected myself. He GASPED. "The Oposspital!"

I should type up my running brag sheet for today but JFC I did actually do a lot. I had to be kicked out the office because “Mary Jane will work herself to death if you let her.”

“Your accent is beautiful in Spanish” Well yes. I know. I come from a softer generation and my Tias were educated by nuns to be The Lady of the House. It’s beautiful in every language if I try hard enough.

I got hit on by some 22 year old and it felt so disrespectful because I kind of feel like a Ship of the Line. Im old, creaky, formidable, and beautiful. I need more than a modern Sailor can give me. I want someone capable. Experienced. With a bit of patina.

Work Husband: I need to know what they’re saying about me. Me: Mr. Lastname, I discuss ideas not people. I am an entirely inappropriate source for such information. *2 hrs later* k so here’s what I got

Idk why but my self worth is subterranean today. Im hoping having work to do will distract me from it but ugh.

Im craving shokupan. Like how the uncle in the cafe by my old apartment makes it. Man I miss Japan.

Work Husband is a good egg.

I need to hear this: sometimes you can be the sweetest, juiciest peach and someone prefers plums.

So. Do I cry on the way home or not?

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Idk how to tell Work Husband “you wanna grab a late lunch on Monday? But let me pack a hamper, because I can’t afford to buy premade food”

Always.

I read this as Mummy, like The Mummy and had the cutest mental image of a pasta mummy made of angel hair wrapped around a fork. I should get some sleep

Realizing I need electrical tape, which is embarrassing as an electrician. I should be able to spawn that.

In a whiny mood. Maybe researching how to make a crosswalk safer will cheer me up.

Dear broken coffeepot, drinking cold brew at 3 am is a crime

Cool. Starting off the day with anxiety dreams and negativity. Cool.

Such a peculiar feeling, to not have a baby in the house. Its like all the emotions left with him.

Trying to end my schoolgirl crush by drafting a list of requirements for a future husband. They’re probably a little too lofty since men marry their peers.

Guys

Baby, in a crowded Walmart: COCKS! Me: Nani? Baby: COCKS! That sign says C O X. Me: Well you’re right but I wish it didn’t. People will think you’re the Poultryman.

No YOU are requesting White Papers on Pedestrian Traffic Safety with “Concerned Mother” as the company or business name.

Work Wife: ugh this water is so cold. Me: is it as cold as my heart? DCman walking by: 😂😂😂

Update: halfway through dishes. Then gotta fold laundry.

Im so lazy about trying to tidy up before housekeeper tomorrow. The house is already 80% picked up, but Im out of energy from all the appointments

The void is for EVERY body 😌

youtu.be/A8ubcXfq12A?... GIMME THAT BABY

Randomly thinking about how I lowkey kinda miss the Japanese PTA. I was terrified of them and understood flag duty was mandatory, but it got done. That would not happen here, and my sons classmates will likely suffer because of it.

I try to stack all the baby appointments for when Im in port and off duty while also keeping in consideration school calendar. Now I also have to consider two foster mom’s calendars and I do not have the caffeine onboard for this.

Trying to figure out what the reg on shower shoes is since we cant go up the ladderwell to our shower with flip flops, but I also kinda wanna see if I can get away with ballet flat crocs.
