Fiona was less antsy today but seemed a little sad about missing friends and not going to school.

Emma is having fun with her teachers on Google classroom. They keep posting really sweet things to the students.

Fiona antsy and distracted again. I think this is getting a little hard on her.



I was gonna post more, but I ran out of steam. Today feels hard for no good reason.

Tell me something, friends. :) I want to talk to you!!

I'm sorry you had hard day. Uncertainty is difficult.


Today we took the kid to a closed regional Park parking lot to rid her bike. Lots of space there but it started raining so we came home

[lunabee34]

What a great idea! I hope you can go again when it's not raining.

Uncertainty is my kryptonite. I am such a control freak. LOL

[forestofglory]

We are going to try to go again.

Uncertainty makes everyone anxious -- but there is a lot of it right now.

I was so effing productive today at my teaching job!!!

Talked three friends off the ceiling.

My turn was crying like a baby at a DS9 episode. See my post.

My main thing is trying not to worry about Older Prince, who is out and about every day in his job.

ALL THE HUGS

*high five*

I graded so much yesterday and today. More grading tomorrow.

I'm glad your friends have you to support them. It's very clear how important our friends are in times like these.

I can't imagine how much you are worrying. *hugs* I would be, too.

[amejisuto]

Random fun fact: The country that eats the most doughnuts is Canada.

What, I got nothing much to say tonight. LOL. I spent most of the day faffing about on YouTube and Discord and washing dishes. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

[lunabee34]

I would not have thought that. Now I'm thinking about donuts. LOL

Thank you, sweetie. I'm sure I will. I've got some grading to do, so that'll be something to cross off the list when I'm done.

[amejisuto]

At least you'll feel like you've accomplished something.

[lunabee34]

I"m getting there. Just a couple more in this round to go!

[amejisuto]

I've been chatting all morning on Discord so that's more than what I've done. LOL. You're very productive.

[kore]

Why is Bunnicula tired and listless?

I feel you, Bunnicula.

I think maybe the psychological effects are settling in -- both that this is an enormous change, and we really don't know what's going to happen in the future. I spent most of my day napping, comfort reading fluff and washing my hands even tho the only person I saw was T.

[lunabee34]

I think you are so right.

I'm seeing it in Fiona. We don't watch televised news and we don't listen to the radio in the house, so she doesn't really know what's going on or understand it really; she's not afraid of anything, but everything is different, and she's being more fragile the past couple of days.

*hugs*

It's trying to think to the future that's getting me. I am always looking ahead, planning for the future, working on the thing now that'll be due three months from now, and not being able to have any idea what the future will be like is really disconcerting for me. :(

[kore]

Aww, poor love. It's got to be terrible to be a kid in the midst of all this.

I am always looking ahead, planning for the future, working on the thing now that'll be due three months from now, and not being able to have any idea what the future will be like is really disconcerting for me

Me, too! I mean, I spend more time futurefucking than planning, usually, but even my hopped-up "let's try to figure out the very worst and prepare for it mentally" PTSD brain did not foresee anything like our possible future(s). LESSON LEARNED, reality.

//HUGS you

[lunabee34]

I think Fiona is just bewildered more than anything else. Since we're not watching news and we're being careful not to say anything worrying in front of her, I think she just doesn't get what's happening. I checked in with Emma last night, and I love my introvert daughter so hard. She said, "Mom, I pretty much despise most of the people I have to interact with at school on a regular basis, so while I'm sure I will eventually have a problem with being shut up here, today is not that day." LOL

*hugs hugs*

[kore]

GO EMMA! ahahaha. What a cutie.

[lunabee34]

She really is. I won the kiddo lottery.

[boxofdelights]

Last week, the neighbor's kids came over to talk while I was gardening. Today, we just waved at each other across the fence. I miss hanging out!

[lunabee34]

*nods*

That part is rough. *hugs*

What are you gardening?

[zulu]

Yeah, definitely more frustration today, more tears, more "I don't wanna!"

Then I tricked him into going for a walk by saying, "Oh, I saw the strangest penguin shadow outside!" and we had a great time.

[lunabee34]

Best mom trick ever! :)

Fiona bonked her head last night and cried about way more than seemed warranted, so.... :(

I think she's also probably picking up on our frustration/tension even if we're being careful not to scare her by talking about the scary parts of current events in front of her.

[lyr]

Today feels easier for me. I seem to have gotten past the shocked phase and moved on to brisk pragmatism. I am sure I will loop back for some more grief and shock later, but it's nice to pace myself. Today I made a Boston cream pie, ordered groceries to be delivered, did some laundry and dishes, and learned that moles are hemophiliacs. I may even get some writing done before bed. So brisk pragmatism is largely a good thing today.

[lunabee34]

*hugs*

My moods are vacillating. I'm fine one day, and then something sets me off into an anxiety spiral the next.

I think brisk pragmatism is an excellent approach, especially if it results in Boston cream pie. :)

[timespirt]

This sucks the big one and I hate being stuck in the house. On the other hand I also don't want to get sick. Hope you are all well and not on each others nerves yet, my house is a powder keg at times!

"HUGS"

[lunabee34]

We are mostly doing well at not getting on each other's rooms. We are very lucky to have a spacious house, and everyone has somewhere to retreat and have some alone time in a space that is theirs. I suspect that our nerves will fray eventually.

I'm sorry your house is tense right now. *hugs*

[timespirt]

Thank you hon.

"HUGS"

Stay Safe

I did lots of grading yesterday. (It's early morning here, so my achievements today are limited to feeding the cats.) And then I did some Guardian novel proofreading. And then I watched an episode of a very bad Korean drama, and decided that said drama did not merit watching further.

It must be so hard when you have kids to look after and they're not happy. 💔

[lunabee34]

I did grading, too, and there's more of that for today.

*hugs*

I think the kids are doing alright overall (my oldest seems completely fine which is relieving), but Fiona is just so social and extroverted that I think she's starting to get bored.

[tamsin]

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. *hugs*

I'm fine today but was really thin-skinned and teared up easily yesterday.

We got our vegetables and fruits box delivered today. Is that a thing in the US? Basically you pay a fixed price and get a selection from a local farmer. You can't pick what you get specifically, the farmer assembles it. So now we have lots of yummy stuff like grapes and melon and bell peppers and pears.

[lunabee34]

*hugs*

That's it exactly. I'm feeling pretty thin-skinned.

We do have that in the US, but it's more common in some places than others. I could probably find something like that around here to subscribe to.

[oracne]

Today, the sun is shining!

[lunabee34]

Hallelujah!

[spikedluv]

I love that you took Fiona out to stomp puddles!

Could you set up skype or facetime so Fiona could have a 'sort of' play date with some friends?

[lunabee34]

That's a good idea. I will try to do that with her cousin. I bet they would both like that.

[spikedluv]

*beams* It was on my mind because I told my mom she should do the same so she can see the grandkids when she talks to them.
