I got an email from an instructor in training about their availability next month. Short version is its not what we agreed on.

My level of frustration on this is less about them and more about how much I was looking forward to not working at that time.....

I am apparently past the "over worked" point

I told D that I was making waffles and he opted in.

He also stayed in bed..... And then took a shower.

I was sure he would have cold waffles.

That man timed it perfectly.

The gall

And the asshole came back and clearly got away with something else. I feel bad for the birds <3

Watched a big ass raven navigate the branches out of my house looking for something to eat

Saw the other birds swoop in suddenly and go nuts trying to scare them away.

I have now learned that ravens eat other birds....smaller birds....like baby birds.

I am not a fan.

Update:

Fucker came back and I ran outside to chase it away from the nest.

I was recently reminded that the stress cycle (including the response of fight flight or freeze) requires that you complete the cycle to let you know the danger is gone. Some cry, some shake, others do other things. If you do NOT complete it then you sustain the stress response leading to long term anxiety. So.....now I have to do something with that.

My Shakespeare students (they are 12) wanted to summarize the lessons they learned this semester. If. Um. Anybody would like to see.

sandersstudies

I cannot emphasize enough that they made these with very little input from me.

Henry the Fifth

- ALWAYS encourage others to do their best.

- NEVER talk about people behind their back.

Antony and Cleopatra

- ALWAYS check your produce for pests. [They liked this one so much made a rap about it.]

- NEVER count your chickens before they hatch.

Hamlet

- ALWAYS act decisively

- NEVER tell your girlfriend to go to a convent and become a nun [Oh boy they REALLY liked this one]

Romeo and Juliet

- ALWAYS collect all the important information before making an important decision

- NEVER bite your thumb at us, sir. [They enacted this scene in the original language a lot, except they swapped every “sir” for “bro.”]

The Merchant of Venice

- ALWAYS pay your debts.

- NEVER judge based on appearances, because “all that glisters is not gold.”

The Tempest

- ALWAYS try to forgive others.

- NEVER be a colonizer. [Yes, a middle schooler said this]

Midsummer Night’s Dream

- ALWAYS stay on forest trails

- NEVER fall in love with an ass. [They were excited about this one for obvious reasons.]

Twelfth Night

- ALWAYS stay in touch with those important to us

- NEVER read other people’s mail

Macbeth

- ALWAYS wash your hands. [One of the girls performed Lady Macbeth’s entire Out Damn Spot monologue at the end of the semester]

- NEVER succumb to peer pressure.

A note on working for yourself.

No one to tell you good job and that you did it.

It's my job. Today my brain was not down for the task.

Goodnight

I have been opening and clicking between tabs on my computer for at least 30 minutes looking for one of them to tell me it's ok.

This seems like the wrong plan.

Time to walk away for the day.

Skin Care

I have become very invested in skin care for my face, neck and hands. Part of this is because it's a lovely self-care habit but the internet has given me the ability to obtain this through drug store prices.

For those following along this is what I do AM

Wash face (currently getting through my prose backlog but will switch)

Vitamix C serum (i've bopped between but have enjoyed vanicreme)

Cicalfate + for any areas that need it

Moisturizer (I have been using Vanicream)

Under eye creme (still deciding)

SPF (this one is still in progress for which one I like)

Wash (see above about prose)

Glycolic acid exfoliating toner (The Ordinary)

Retinol (still deciding which one)

under eye creme (still deciding)

PM face moisturizer (still deciding)

Vasaline on lips

I've been playing with

Periodic over the counter exfoliant peel for hands.

Dear me - things can hurt your feelings and even trigger you and it still has nothing to do with you.

Take a breath and then respond to the email

P. S.

If you still want to take them down after waiting then they may have deserved it

Due to normal reductions in new members in the spring I had to drop one of the paid front desk shifts.

It is of course a person that hasn't taken feedback or change well. Im hoping it's fine. My body is waiting for a long email outlining how this is a personal attack and all my fault.

Pray it's the first.

I have never watched twin peaks so D suggested we give it a go.

2 episodes in. I'm down so far.

Some days owning a business - and one that is so seasonal - and it is your first business - feels overwhelming.

Today is one of those days.

Final note for now Someone said that they threw out all anti-aging products in their life the minute they realized just how much pedophilia is central to culture, and I have not been able to get that out of my head since.

Also - fundraiser showcase is tomorrow and saturday. I have of course, made it a big deal in my head - and something to take personally - so I need to remind myself that we already sold out 2 shows. The place will be ready, acts will be there, and money has been raised with tickets. Everything else is frosting.

Doggo woke up early with tummy troubles and we are still on 'Griffin Watch' until something sorts itself. I thought i'd use the time to get work done but somehow I am many hours later and feel like I just hopped from email to email. Like - where did the time go man?

I had a customer reach out with

"is there a reason the class pack expires in 90 days?"

Yes. It was a business decision so there are several reasons but my suspicion is that your real message is:

"I don't like that the class pack expires in 90 days"

My response was "all class packs expire 90 days after the first class registration using the pass"

Sometimes you don't answer the question they are asking
