Did both a yoga and a meditation video tonight. Feeling more balanced after a week of mostly being on edge.
I'm pretty sure coworker thinks I'm dumb.
I mean, I am dumb about a lot of things π, but I actually do know how to do my job.
My office is doing Take Your Kid to Work Day, and they have lab tours, slime making, and a mock clinical trial planned.
I am pretty sure I may be slightly more excited than my 5 year old. Slime making, guys!

Sitting outside, as the day drifts to evening, trying to decide if I think today went well.
I'm leaning towards no.
Day 2 of stressful meetings tomorrow. 
I'm very clearly going to be everyone's least favorite daycare parent by the end of the week... π€ͺ
My 5 year old has been pleading to dye her hair pink since I dyed mine, so I agreed that we could try the pink dye tonight. She, in turn, has been fomenting a hair dye revolution in her preschool class today.
'Every kid wants a different color!'
I just came across the acronym POTATO for Person Over Thirty Acting Twenty One, and I'm more like Person Over Thirty Anxious Tired Overwhelmed.
Don't mind me, just having a most delicious cheese danish* for dinner.
A little known (and unasked for π) fact about me is that while I am a general fan of most breakfast pastries, I'm slightly obsessed with the pursuit of the perfect cream cheese danish. Our local French bakery has the best I've ever had, but I have committed myself to making sure that I try new ones just in case they are better. You never know, right?
Not only am I behind on my planned reading, I've apparently been neglecting my cat worship sessions, too.
Sophie π is correcting me.

I just realized I have an almost full adult beverage to finish before bed. And a yearning for some yoga.
So, I'm going to drink and do yoga, tiredly. This will probably not end well, but we'll see.

The recital went well right up to the point afterwards when another girl stepped on E's hand and so E was all tears and tired.
I'm tired. The girls woke me up at 5:30 because E was excited for her dance recital (@ 1:30pm).
Trying to decide if I need to make a cup of coffee so I can stay awake to the kids' bedtime.

For Seattle folks who read #horror #scifi or #fantasy, there is an author reading coming up hosted by a group that organized a cool event I went to LA Festival of Books:

(I am in no way affiliated with the group nor have I read any of the authors, but the one I went to was fun.)
There has been an invasion in my cubicle...
...and four months is apparently when I feel comfortable enough to out myself at work nerd-wise.
Coffee needed. π
