New Daily Life

 I feel like absolute garbage. Pretty sure I have the flu. I just want to go home and sleep. My daughter and a friend are going to see Ironlung at the theater tonight. Then her friend is spending the night. I think they will have fun.

 Payed off my credit card today. It wasn't as gratifying as I thought it would be, but it is nice to know I won't have to go to court. Last night was pretty relaxing. I had a headache most of the evening but once I got my son in bed I took a long hot bath and felt better.  There's some crazy scary things happening in the US right now. ICE agents are shooting people in the streets. Peaceful people. It's sickening and scary. I heard today that ICE has booked rooms in Indianapolis for a month, which is only a couple hours from me. The president is a terrible disgusting person. 

 We had some snow over the weekend. Probably about 5-7 inches. It was not ideal to come into work yesterday so I stayed home with the kids. My daughter had another e-learning day today but the roads weren't too terrible, so I made it in to work. They probably would have been ok to drive on yesterday, but I didn't want to risk taking my son to daycare. If it was just me in the truck I wouldn't have minded, but he's precious cargo, and I knew there wasn't a lot going on at work.  Over the weekend I didn't do  whole lot. Did some tidying and cleaned the fish tank. Played some videogames and just lounged around a bit. I did put away 2 boxes of stuff, which isn't much, but it's something.  My cousin is in the hospital. She's got strep and an infection in her abdomen from a surgery she has a while ago. She initially thought she tested positive for MRSA, but that luckily turned out to be negative. She is supposed to fly down to VA and take care of my sister...

 22 years ago today my dad died. It's hard to believe its been that long. I wish he was still alive so he could see all the things I have accomplished. I think he would be proud of me. Last night wasn't too eventful. After the kids went to bed I went over to my man friends house and played video games for a while and then went home and went to bed.  My daughter had the day off of school today because it's so cold outside. I still took my son to daycare and came into work. There's not a lot going on so it's been kind of a boring day. I don't really have any weekend plans except the normal laundry and tidying the house. If I have the motivation I will go through some more totes that haven't been gone through and put away yet. There's not a ton, but it's been almost 5 months since I moved and it really should be done sooner than later. I still have a lot of pictures and paintings and decorative things that need to be put up and placed. There's also ...

 Today I am starting a new daily life blog. It's been 15 years since I started my last one and a lot has changed. My mom died from cancer in June 2019, there was a Covid pandemic, I got let go (restructuring) from the job I had for 17 years in late 2019, my partner who I had been with since high school died in 2022. Our daughter is (obviously) older now, and a couple weeks after my partner died I found out I was pregnant with our second child. I also had to sell the beautiful house I bought after my mom died and move to the smaller house I owned in another town close by.  Needless to say, everything is really different now. It's strange. Honestly, some things are better, some things are worse. Being a single mom with a teenager and a toddler is definitely rough sometimes.  I do have help, so I am not completely alone in everything. My cousin moved back to town, my bestfriend lives 2 blocks from me, my work family is a great and caring small group of people, and I have a m...
