You know what I love about Thursdays? Everything. I’m sorry I’ve fallen behind. Although, I don’t think there is anyone here to recognize it.
september 24
I need to get caught up. The problem it, really no one around here is writing except for me, or so it feels, and so it’s really lonely.
september 23
I stopped by Target tonight after tutoring and bought this… Since tomorrow is G’s birthday and C already got him a tricycle. Do you know how difficult those things are to assemble?
september 22
Mondays aren’t so bad, but this one was LONG. I had a surprisingly productive day at work and billed almost nothing to general admin (typically I bill about an hour or so a day, maybe two). After...
september 21
C and I ended up taking the neighbors up on their offer to come over for beers. They live directly across the street from us so we were able to walk back and forth to get refills (maybe that’s te...
september 20
I may have slept in until 2:00 today. That’s just a little bit insane, but given how tired I was last night, it felt SO good. I made up for my laziness by going to the gym and doing squats, bench...
september 19
Okay, so it turns out that corn mazes are actually a lot of fun. But more on that later. I worked all day (I was supposed to leave early, but I had some reports going out and needed to stick arou...
september 18
I know everyone says this, but I can’t BELIEVE how quickly the weeks go by sometimes. Is that a side effect of age, or am I really that busy? We have a lot going on at work right now. Legislation...
september 17
I’d like to have something meaningful to say, but today went something like this: work, rush home, quickly stuff face, race to tutoring, leave at 7:30, go to gym, come home, watch an episode of C...
september 16
As I’ve mentioned multiple times, I am tutoring math (and statistics) now in the evenings. My weekly student, M, is a bright sophomore. She just needs some help with reassurance. But really, she ...
september 15
Monday…hm… I wish I weren’t so far behind. The weather has been cooling down and for some reason, that makes me not hate Mondays so much. I feel like such an integrated adult when I leave for wor...

The weekend never lasts as long as I want it to.
september 13
Let’s see. There’s a lot to catch up on here. We went apple picking today, the three of us (C, G, and me). G did most of the picking, which made it a somewhat lengthy endeavor. I thought that was...
september 12
Happy Friday, and happy payday! Tonight we took G to the Blue Jackets fan night, which was free, and it ended up being a lot more fun than I was expecting. They had a bouncy house for kids, and w...

Thursdsays are always the longest. Also, is anyone out there?
september 10
Last night I had one of those “oh yeah, THAT’S why I do this” moments with my student at tutoring. We worked on math concepts for over an hour and a half, and when her mom came in to pick her up ...

I know it makes me a terrible person for saying it, but I don’t understand the whole concept of how tragic it is when a kid dies. Or, I guess, how it’s any more tragic than when anyone else dies....
september 8
I have been craving hummus for a while now and finally made it over to Whole Foods during my lunch break today. Got regular hummus, garlic, and roasted red pepper. Also got plenty of naan, which ...
september 7
Today would have been my six-year wedding anniversary. It’s not a sad thing, but it’s not something which makes me happy, either.
september 6
Oof. The tutoring session I scheduled for this afternoon ending up lasting over three hours! I wish now that I hadn’t agreed to do it…but her class only lasts four more weeks and then she is fini...
september 5
In case yesterday’s entry didn’t make sense mathematically, I take home 60% of my current tutoring rate. After I reach ten hours through the site, that will increase to 65%, then after 50 hours i...
september 4
Have I mentioned I’ve started tutoring part time? Well, I have. I had hoped for one, maybe two students to tutor after work a day or two a week. And I was contacted really quickly by a woman whos...
september 3
Working from home is craptastic. Especially when you can’t print anything! I have the neverending cough…but it’s better than being so sick that my skin hurts.
september 2
Still sick. I had to call off work because I could barely get out of bed this morning. My head is so cotton-y that I haven’t had much of an appetite all day, which doesn’t help. I did manage to g...
september 1
Today I spent the whole day (I’m not exaggerating!) in bed watching Criminal Minds with C. He was pretty sick yesterday and the day before, and I’ve started feeling dreadful now too, so we just d...
