“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
― Thomas A. Edison

Ever have just that day
Keeping every plate spinning
Sort of every day

March 22, 2026

Well, this week has so far involved a seizure from Jarrah (he missed a dose of his medication, which doesn't bode well for reducing it over the next month, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it), a night of digestive issues for me, and a call from Dad late this afternoon, who thankfully didn't need the hospital this time (probably just dehydrated and low blood sugar; I went over and made him a cuppa and a sandwich).

It's Tuesday. Wtf. I'm putting in an order for less drama for the rest of the week please.

However! Good things are happening all the same:

+ Kid4 has been playing Diablo 2 and loving it and keeps asking me stuff and last night we had a chat about some things (waypoints and identifying items) and he said, 'It's so great to be finally playing a game that I can talk to you about!' (because I play few games, but Diablo 2 is one of my very faves)

+ we have a hot day forecast tomorrow but after that, hopefully it'll be into cooler weather

+ the kitchen stayed clean until the weekend! I say 'stayed clean' – I mean, I kept it clean. Obviously it's a bit messy now given the last couple of days but I feel like it's not overwhelming. Also, the fam is helping with this – yay for a virtuous circle

+ fit in a good trumpet practice before Dad called. I missed so many days last week and I really noticed the difference in my lesson

+ I ordered a record for my birthday soon and it arrived and I'm so delighted 🥰
