Bert leaves tomorrow for Fall Break, and won't be returning until Tuesday night. I'm ready for a break. He's a good kid, but he just makes more work for me. It's just so much more cleaning and having to double check everything because he forgot to close the garage door again when he left the house and he doesn't lock the side door when he takes the trash out. And I'm like "Thanks for taking out the trash, but you gotta lock the door."     And he and my dad are very similar so it's just like between the two of them, I have to hear explanations about every thing. EVERYTHING. "Hahahahah! I laughed because I thought that was funny"    HE LITERALLY SAID THAT.     "I'm going to eat something because I'm a bit hungry".  NOW THERE ARE TWO OF THEM.    The other day I was a part of ten minute conversation about the pros and cons of soup.   meanwhile I am a impatient grouch.   Actually it's really silly, isn't it? When I read back on this, I'm like "OMG this is just silly. Why am I getting so grouchy over this?"   let that shit go, snarky. just let it go. but check all the locks before bed.        

Ursina pops into the kitchen and starts talking in a funny, lowing voice. "Helloooooooo. Let's be adventurous in the kitchen!"  She grins "I love Julia Child, she was very Bearish, you know."  She pops on a chef's hat and it sits askew on top of her head.    Spicy Skillet Chicken Recipe - BettyCrocker.com   I made this recipe for dinner tonight.  What I love about it is that I made the chicken and rice ahead of time. So tonight I open up a couple cans and just throw everything in the pan and heat it up.   And a recipe we are having next week that we've had before James May Veggie Burgers   James May's delicious veggie burgers | This Morning (itv.com)   We didn't have access to the apple stuffing so we used a little stouffer's stuffing mix and a little applesauce.  I don't think I would call it a burger as much as a patty. I think burger makes you think of specific textures and flavors. This is really good though, even my carnivorous dad enjoyed it.   Ursina removes the cap and surveys the meals. "Well isn't that dandy? Do be mindful of the sodium, neighbears. You may want to drink some green tea with these and have a banana in the morning." she waves goodbye and walks out the door. 

I would love that!  <4

If we were neighbors, I would invite you over for pasta, wine, and quiet. <4

Love this description.  I know exactly what you mean and think I'm going through something similar.   Hope rest is the answer for you and that you are able to get some. 

Just trying to not freak out.  I really wish I knew wtf was going on with the job.  That's why I haven't been posting really this challenge - I feel like 90% of it is trying to pay attention to literally anything except the anxiety that's running through me.

The three of us pass now along a high and narrow branch.   Though our hands cannot be joined, I see your braid before me I hear her steps behind me.   I am like a river in its bed. The path you make for me  Will keep me on my way.   Let us go now and thrust the stones of fruit we already digested into the nostrils of that guy over there.

Immortal Autumn By Archibald MacLeish     I speak this poem now with grave and level voice    In praise of autumn, of the far-horn-winding fall.   I praise the flower-barren fields, the clouds, the tall    Unanswering branches where the wind makes sullen noise.   I praise the fall: it is the human season.                                                                   Now No more the foreign sun does meddle at our earth,    Enforce the green and bring the fallow land to birth,    Nor winter yet weigh all with silence the pine bough,   But now in autumn with the black and outcast crows    Share we the spacious world: the whispering year is gone:    There is more room to live now: the once secret dawn    Comes late by daylight and the dark unguarded goes.   Between the mutinous brave burning of the leaves    And winter’s covering of our hearts with his deep snow    We are alone: there are no evening birds: we know    The naked moon: the tame stars circle at our eaves.   It is the human season. On this sterile air Do words outcarry breath: the sound goes on and on.    I hear a dead man’s cry from autumn long since gone.   I cry to you beyond upon this bitter air.

Currently reading The Mortal Blade.  The writing could be better, but the plot is enough to hold my interest for now.  I don't know why, but it's like fingernails on a chalkboard every time I read the word "quieten".  It's apparently a word, but feels like it shouldn't be.
