dual personalities

I very much agree with daughter #1.

I, too, am over this. Here’s how I felt about the week by Tuesday:

And there’s always this classic:

Looking up that gif reminded me of another highly relevant Liz Lemon moment:
Or, what fresh university decree will force us to recalibrate our entire jobs with a day’s notice?

Well anyway. We’re still hanging in there. I have Reese’s eggs and fizzing bath bombs and the joy of stretch pants to keep me going. And this week I tried out coloring to see if it soothed the old nerves…

You would think some KJV verses would do the trick, but really I’m feeling too much pressure to stay in the lines and pattern my colors consistently. I haven’t made it very far yet.

In other news, we started watching the show Broadchurch, which lends some anticipation to our evenings. Broadchurch is a British crime series from about five years ago that centers on the murder of an 11-year-old boy in a small town in Dorset. It is pretty engrossing (at least 3 episodes in) without being gory or creepy. I feel like crime is just about the best genre for me right now — I need something that isn’t too challenging, but that has at least a little gravitas.

So far, so good.
