It sounds like you have a plan, but if you end up needing to revise, I found that getting a scale that weighed in kilograms was a lot less crazy-making. This probably wouldn’t work if you are better at doing conversions in your head than I am!

Some friends of our family lost their house to a wildfire in 2009. They were so traumatized they almost decided not to rebuild, but eventually did. Now there are two wildfires in the county, one that has them evacuated from their rebuilt house, and another about 20 miles away that has their adult daughter evacuated from her house. They’re all sweating it out at their other daughter’s house in San Diego.

Yeah my mental math has always been pretty good, but I’ve spent the last 7 years teaching elementary and now high school math (homeschooling). What’s crazy to me is that two of my kids are even better than I am, simply because they hate having to use pencil and paper if they don’t have to

Teething baby. Bad night. I keep forgetting what I’m doing as I’m doing it. This is deeply counterproductive.

No. NO NO NO. You do not put the same person (me) on all four of the scrum teams that we have, and not assign my counterpart to any. NOPE. Not going to do that.
I literally just told upper management that this was what I was worried about, they said it wouldn’t happen, and here we fucking are. Composing a “not gonna do it” email to my immediate boss (who was horrified when he heard about how many meetings we USED to have, which was less than this) right now.

The keyboard software on my phone stopped working so I’ve gone back to the basic keyboard and I hate it. But I suspect I’d hate any other keyboard too just for being different.

Toddler woke up crying at 5 am. Went back to sleep nicely. But woke my preschooler up. I tried to get her to come sleep in my bed, but instead she just jumped on me and got the dog riled up for an hour. So no sleep for me.

I said the c word in a work chat and didn’t realize it until after 3 coworkers saw it. I am mortified.

OK I need it to stop raining – it’s been four, maybe five days straight now and since I have not done the sheeting underneath my house in the crawlspace my bedroom is starting to smell like mold and just in general I really miss the sun and not wearing a raincoat. I’m over it.

Helped Bard (middle child) with a science lab involving glucose test strips. You can’t touch the test pad but they were packed into the bag with the pads facing up. Had to really carefully shake them out.
