Currently (April 2025 Edition)

Reading: nothing. I can’t focus enough to read right now.

Wearing: a Beatles sweatshirt and black stretchy pants.

Annoyed by: every noise made by any person in my family. Don’t chew, breathe, or speak anywhere near me right now. 

Craving: warm bread and butter.

Buying: clothes for family photos. 

Eating: Easter candy. I haven’t had much sugar lately, so I’m hecka sick, but those bunny-shaped SweeTarts were really good. 

Suffering from: reflux due to the aforementioned Easter candy. 

Watching: awful TV shows and documentaries that make me lose faith in the world and make me think the worst of humankind.

Dreading: spring break. It’s technically already started, but I have seven more days of it, so there’s still plenty of dread to proclaim. I have nothing left as far as entertaining kids. For the past 18 years, I’ve worked so hard to keep them busy, and I just don’t have it in me anymore. 

(Update: there are now three days left)

Proud of myself for: nothing. I’ve pretty much sat on my couch for three days straight. 

(Update: make that seven days)

Enjoying: nothing. Wow. Am I in a funk or what?

Drinking: water, Diet Dr. Pepper, and an occasional bottle of kefir or a protein drink. 

Sick of: cleaning. I’m so tired of doing the same tasks over and over again. 

Cooking: bacon for a BLT pasta salad. 

(Update: that salad was disappointing).

Avoiding: yard work. I didn’t get any early crops planted in the garden. Everything is a mess.

Looking forward to: seeing Jersey Boys in a few weeks.

Singing: “It Is Well with My Soul.” (I had to Google to know which words to capitalize in that song title). 

Laughing about: discovering tonight that our friends have been paying for our Walmart deliveries for the last month and a half because Scotty used their credit card to order a delivery to the hotel during Brocation, and their card was made the default card on our account. We’ve had extra money, and I haven’t been able to figure out why. Mystery solved! I’ve been subtracting the purchases from our budget, but we haven’t actually been paying it… our friends have!

Embarrassed: that I love watching The Baldwins. 

Wishing: that there was an app that could scan my body and tell me every diagnosis I need and whether or not the medications I take are helping me. 

Making: BINGO cards for me and my friends.

(They weren’t as amused as I thought they would be)
