No Strings Attached

Posted By Kathleen David on April 2, 2021

Work was fine. I wish I had been able to be faster, but I got done what they asked plus a bit. Unless there was a hidden cart, I managed to catch us up on some areas that we need to get done.

I am in a bit of pain right now due to shin splints in my right leg. This is slowing me down quite a bit and keeping me from doing things. Ice is a lovely thing. I plan on babying it for the next couple of days to help heal it.

Caroline was wait listed for the college she wants to go to more than any other. She is very frustrated and down on herself. She thinks we have been lying to her about how smart she is and how good she is so she is really down on herself. I understand she is grieving for what she wished to be. She thinks she is not good enough to achieve her dreams. It is a really kick in the teeth for her. Part of it is that so many students differed for a year, the number of open spots in minimal.

That hurts and frustrates me as well. I don’t have the words to magically make things better. I am at a loss how to help her other than be there for her and try to make her see that she is a good person. 

Doesn’t help that her friends are getting into their dream colleges.

Wait listed means that the waiting game goes on and it stressed all of us out.

I know she would kick-ášš and take names. She has the drive but right now is a bit rudderless.

I had some rather disappointed news as Del Rey passed on me. I would have so kicked ášš on that job. I would love to have an editorial position at a publishing house.

Understand I love my job at Michael’s and am very happy there if that is where I am meant to be so be it. It is a great retail situation. I have no complaints except I would like more hours.

This is good Friday in the Catholic Calendar. It is the beginning of the holy weekend. Saturday is a pause before we get to Easter Sunday. I have been getting ready for Easter itself.

Yeah, this is random but the coffee kicked in hours ago.

I managed to get twelve hours sleep last night which is a record for me. I didn’t know I was that tired until I keep nodding off on the couch.

I feel more awake than I have in a while. I counted that on the plus side.

I hope those who celebrate it have a very blessed Easter.

I am grateful for real sleep.
