Good Mornthing!

blissmorganThere is something in this house, probably either a board that expands/contracts with changing heat but possibly a pipe, which makes a very particular flappy/clicky noise that hits my brain the way it sounded when my dear departed Serendipity would self-clean and then resettle herself with a shake of her head that made her ears flap against the side of her wee kitty skull. Or perhaps I merely have kitties on the brain; I sorely miss having a little fuzzy roommate.
This morning's enschoolenation went better than I expected, considering I had to get my shower in in the middle of the routine, and I had to chat with Youngest to bring back up the mini-meltdown he had on Friday and set up expectations for making things right. I walked out to the bus stop with the kids, which I do not normally do, so that he could begin with apologizing to his bus driver, at whom he swore on Friday. He also knows to be expecting to get called down to the office to speak with the principal about his behavior, and that while it won't necessarily be comfortable it IS necessary and a consequence of his behavior.
I expect the school will be calling me at some point today, but I hold out hope that the principal will just email me back about what happened.
Today is a day of change for all our routines; SALM is working his way through his Master's degree, one class per semester at a time, and today begins the new semester for him. It's a late class, starting after 7, and he has already begun his routine of doing homework late Sunday afternoon and into the evening, which means I am Point Parent basically from midday Sunday until Tuesday afternoon. We have done this before, and it is quite doable.
Today it is made interesting by the fact of an appointment right after work, so I'm going to ease the transition for the kids by getting food from their favorite pizza place once I'm done with all my grownuppy things.
Other grownuppy things I need to do:
Yes really, for more than half a year. The kid's been off the med for three weeks now due to pharmacy kerfluffle, though, and given its likely inaccessibility I am going to ping the doctor about possibly trying an alternative of some kind.
....this list has gotten really long. It will have to be, I think, a list for this week rather than for tonight. I will hold myself accountable for a minimum of 1-2 things on this list tonight.
Other doings:
Anyway, here's a selfie because I'm really digging this whole Hair Dryer With Diffuser And Certain Helpful Hair Products thing to let my curly hair actually be itself.
Whoop, it's BOB o'clock. Gotta scoot.

Other grownuppy things I need to do:
- Dishes
- Laundry
- Clear the table and put down a new tablecloth
- Taxes, because I am employed now and that's a thing I gotta do, Oh Zod how do I do this
- Call the doctor that does the prescriptions because apparently a medicine someone needs is on backorder. Till SEPTEMBER. WTF.

- Get additional laundry out of living room
- Build Youngest's bureau
- Paint the drawerfronts
- Remove old books from living room, offer them on local Buy Nothing group or something
- Shelve new books
....this list has gotten really long. It will have to be, I think, a list for this week rather than for tonight. I will hold myself accountable for a minimum of 1-2 things on this list tonight.
Other doings:
- Write a short story
- Read a chapter of a thing and circle back with the author
- Write a response to 2 online RPs

28/1/19 13:28 (UTC)Your to-do list is far and away more than a Tonight List. For me, such a list would be a This Month List and would remain incomplete at month's end. Go you.
