Not a fan of it myself. My beard is starting to get some grey in it, but it’s the red parts that are going first. I liked having a red beard

I understand. Husband’s beard was red.

We have been trying to order takeout from my favorite semi-fancy restaurant for Mother’s Day. They never used to do takeout. We have been trying to order ahead because we figure they’re busy. Yesterday they said we had to call back today. This morning they said we had to call back after 3 for dinner because all their tickets are full from brunch.

It’s finally nice enough/I have enough time to haul the sander and some shelves and cabinet doors that need to be finished outside and get some work done…and after twenty minutes of searching I finally remembered that I loaned my sander to the neighbors back in Feb. Normally it wouldn’t be a big deal and I could just go pick it up (or ask them to leave it on the porch, given the circumstances), but they’re sheltering-in-place with their son out of state so I’m not going to be able to get it back anytime soon. Off to email friends and see if someone else has a sander sitting around I can borrow.
ETA: Found a sander and grabbed my backpack/bike to go pick it up…only to find the tread ripping off the front tire on my road bike rendering it not-really-ridable. Debating whether I want to turn today into a car-errand day (pick up sander, pick up new tire, might as well get a couple bags of garden soil if the local place still has them set up outside) or just go back to bed for a couple hours.
I swear you & my husband were separated at birth.

Red bearded men are the best (even after the beard goes white).

I have to go literally ONE BLOCK to do a contactless dropoff of something for a friend. And I’m procrastinating because it involves a) putting on pants, b) putting in contacts, because my glasses are way too big for my face and thus completely incompatible with a mask.

I did the dropoff and FFS, it is Ass Cold again outside. I hear it is snowing in the suburbs. This sucks.

My last tulip was beheaded last night. We didn’t get a single bloom.

I watched a rabbit have dinner on a bunch of mine tonight. I was most impressed with its mad mowing skills.

No tulips for me this year either. The leaves came up but not a single bloom.

I ignored all my body’s warning signs and proceeded to do a very physically demanding project the day after doing yard work and already messing my body up. Now I can’t straighten my back and tramadol has barely lessened the pain.
Don’t be like me.

I watched an opera without Girl Cat. I miss her so much. She watched with me 80% of the time, either on my lap or nearby.

I accidentally ordered my Mother’s Day coffee as regular instead of decaf. It’s my first coffee out in over two months, and I could only drink half, and it still messed with my sleep a bit. Being fairly sensitive to caffeine is weird and new since pregnancy and I’m really not a fan.

It did not occur to me that this was post-partum related but it’s true! Mr. Meer thinks I’m crazy but sometimes at night I can feel my pulse is still racing a bit even though I stopped having caffeine 8+ hours before.

The work training I’m doing today sucks. It’s just a bunch of manuals written by engineers followed by super pedantic quizzes. So, normal training.

I am waiting to hear back about a grant for the library. I haven’t heard if I got it yet, but I just got an email invite to a zoom call about the administraton of my grant (which they send out after you are approved). And then 10 seconds later got an email cancelling that zoom meeting. So now my productivity is shot as I stare at my email and try to guess if this means that they goofed by sending out the invites before the approvals, or if they goofed by sending out the invites to people who got rejected.

I just had to explain a basic math concept to a coworker. It is related to a basic work task she’s been doing for years. I guess it hasn’t been impeding her (her task is more making sure things match) but has she not understood this for years?
