Survived first day back from vacation. 50% just putting things on to do lists and calendar. 30% dealing with high needs client. 20% playing therapist.
Now totally exhausted, social battery drained. Time for ice cream, quiet and dumb videos.

The issue with going to so many Wolf Pack games (aside from their terrible record this season) is trying to remember player names from 20 years ago. Today I had to look up Rico Fata because I just remember someone having the sort of name sports announcers love.

Waking up the the news is a bad idea. I’ve been doing a good job of waiting until I’ve at least gotten dressed and had coffee but not today, and I feel my body reacting.
Today’s tarot pull was Knight of Swords. It’s one I rarely connect to, but we will see how the day goes.

Wolf pack lost but we had snazzy box seats for Masters birthday. And it was a better game than 2 days ago.

Trying to get back here as part of 2026 intentions.
Lots of household tasks done today, some quiet time. Some being “pranked” by kids who are super needy as they are trying to win a bet about screen usage.

Thought this little poem we received at last nights Girl Scout service unit meeting was a lovely reminder of why we do this hard work.

Messed up my knee at daughter’s first field hockey game. Wish it was a better story than “I stepped wrong” but such is being a 40-something.

Home safe from MsC. Unpacked except laundry, which I’ll deal with tomorrow. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was what I needed. Sir and I did an incredible amount of much needed relationship work that we now need to carry through.
More behind the thread cause not everyone digs authority exchange.

I don’t have many pictures from MsC, but I do keep laughing about this one. I was searching and searching for our MAsT chapter. I finally found it and of course we have to be different with our patch. MAsT Mass is quality but we’re always a little quirky.

Kids met their teachers. Son is on a list with the new principal, getting quizzed on math facts as we walked in the door. His new teacher was a math tutor so maybe she can help encourage too.
Daughter’s seat is next to the classroom library. Her current fandom in reach. Temptation!

Today I took part in CTs Women’s Shooting Day as part of the Becoming an Outdoorswoman program. I’ve done archery before but never shot a gun.
It was a great event. Shotgun was tough but later discovered I need to shoot lefty & that might of made life easier. Pics are pistols & rifle targets

Parents made jam with the kids, then took them to the dinosaur museum and a late lunch at the ferry landing. They are living the life.

Went to a site visit for work today. It’s a longstanding client and mostly checking the box to do a permit renewal.
Found a spill to the ground. Unclear how much oil went to the ground and more headaches all around.
Nothing ever easy.

Today’s daily tarot card - two of swords.
Seems fitting and I am struggling with motherhood & career this week. Also staying present in relationship challenge vs retreating to unhealthy patterns.
Sorry for potato quality pic.

Muggy, buggy 3 mile walk tonight. Loving this “welcoming” sign I passed.
Only one neighbor chat stop. Son’s classmate was hiding in a tree.

Todays daily tarot draw - six of wands
Success and progress.
Today doesn’t feel like much of a success. Moved some things forwards this morning, but work is rapidly picking up steam and it’s the end of summer chaos with no childcare. These few weeks always fill me with anxiety and stress.

For work i have accounts on a number of different state & federal websites for reporting data for clients.
Michigan, MiEnviro? - you are my nemisis.
Typing this while sitting in my 15 minute timeout because my password manager never seems to work for this one website.

Nice parent - took kids to get ice cream (well sorbet).
Mean parent - made them walk to go get it.
There are perks to living in a dense suburbia, and walkability is one of them.

I made a terrible error today.
I tried to do protein coffee with the powdered stuff I’ve had on a shelf for ages and it’s… awful. Awful awful awful.

Heavy, complicated talks continue between Sir & I, meta & Sir. I’ve reached to her, but she’s still driving home and set no expectation of response.
Sir and I walked 5 miles this morning. As we were coming up with the plan he called me out for shrinking away.

I am afraid I will get Inundated with bots for this, but working on using the platform blah blah blah.
Proud to say I’m down 5% of my body weight since early July. Taking things careful and imperfect to avoid burnout, even if it is less intense, speedy results. Calorie counting & walking mostly.

Heavy heavy conversations with Sir last night. Sticking them below in a thread because polyamory and power exchange are not everyone’s cup of tea. This is a space where I am anonymously being all of me.

Home from funeral. Two big things playing in my head.
1) it’s been 10+ years since I decided not to practice Catholicism, but the years of school and CCD and youth group and masses… it’s hard to stay quiet and not mechanically follow along with mass.
