Weekend States of Mind
Mar. 31st, 2019 09:05 pmTwo weekends ago, we went to San Diego to visit Julie's brother's family. Had a great time, spent some time with our little nephew, who's definitely a lot bigger than the last time we saw him. It's been too long! Anyways, it was great spending time with them and we got to enjoy some lovely scenery and weather and food. We went out to The Flower Fields in Carlsbad and saw the San Diego Zoo. Worth the long airplane trips for sure. Eris is a pretty good traveler for someone her age, but it's a long time to be cooped up for anyone.
Last weekend, my mom was in town for a visit, which was very nice. Had dinner with extended family and took Eris to the children's museum.
This week has been unusually busy (was organizing a fixit, a sort of team project where people focus on collaborating on work related to some particular theme that week), and I had an unusual amount of work left this weekend (end-of-quarter stuff plus I'm presenting a bit of wrap-up for the fixit at the team meeting Monday). And Eris has been unusually hard to get to bed, even by her usual standards. So I've been very, very tired. So it's been back and forth between living the good life and being in a state of exhaustion where my sanity is just very frayed.
I did manage to take the kid to the aquarium today, which was fun.
I still want to get back to writing more habitually. I want to get back to talking about current events. It's so unlike my past journaling to have so little to say about politics. But anything I want to be thoughtful about gets eternally procrastinated. This crazy era is just difficult to keep up with in general.
