I have turkey sausage thawed out and not much else. What to make for dinner?

@shekinahcancook I ended up doing something like that.

I saw an ad for a program for Python for non-programmers. That may be a little above my skill level. I'd settle for a Wordpress workshop so I can figure out how to change things on the library's website without calling a grownup all the time.

It's a K Cup, so I don't know how it happened, but my coffee that I have every morning tasted terrible. The Keurig in my office has been in operation for a little over a week, so it's not that it's dirty or anything.

@shekinahcancook That may be it.

It's after lunch. This means I am super cold for no reason what so ever. Time to turn the space heater on. In mid-April.

All done. Tomorrow is my day off, but I have to return the microphones 35 miles away, return the banners to the radio station and return the podium to a local org. Omg. I am so tired. Tomorrow is going to be a challenge.

@shekinahcancook that’s just the way the cookie crumbled.

For anyone who missed the Manischewitz Jell-O shots recipe. Also there is a kosher recipe in the printed version. Now I want to somehow make Manischewitz jelly using a similar technique to put on matzo. For science. https://whatjewwannaeat.com/manischewitz-red-wine-jell-o-shots/

What I find hard to fathom is how it’s not actually Friday.

OK, I have just emailed my PhD supervisor saying that in order to get better I need a complete break from thinking about work. I have told her that I will not even attempt to work until week beginning 22nd of April, that gives me another week and a half to try to rebalance. Now that I have made that decision I feel instantly more relaxed and less guilty. Guilt is the enemy of mental health recovery!

My priority at the moment is to be well enough to enjoy my birthday weekend. I’m sure all the people would still enjoy the festivities to a certain degree if I were in bed or in hospital, but it would be a bit weird!

@purplepadma Breaks are so important when you're struggling. You did the right thing.

As a librarian, I never want to see a pair of eclipse glasses again. I’m exhausted. Only one hour and 27 minutes left to hand these out and answer the phone. @librarians

@jillrhudy @librarians I may take them doughnuts.

@librarians @jillrhudy @purp the doughnuts were for the staff as an I’m Sorry You’re Dealing With This tribute, but using them as a pinhole viewer is also acceptable.

@purp @jillrhudy @librarians the internet truly has everything.

Getting up is tough. I took care of the dog and crawled back into bed. Trying to motivate for a shower.

I was in school before most schools had a free breakfast program. This meant most mornings I did not eat breakfast. By mid morning, it was hard to concentrate. I'd be watching the clock until lunch, which I got for free due to financial hardship. This was alleviated when I went to a school with free breakfast, for which I qualified. I still had ADHD struggles, but at least I wasn't watching the clock anymore, waiting for lunch. There was a brief time where I didn't qualify for free lunch. Lunch looked like a peanut butter sandwich, often without jelly, or buttered bread, and sometimes just a carrot. Subsidized school meals was a lifeline for me. Now some people want to grow the program, so that kids don't fall through the gap like I did, and others want to take it away completely. Children can't learn when they're hungry. And sometimes, those school meals are the only decent meals they have. Summers can be rough.

@lonestarplate But we're so afraid someone "unworthy" may get help that we won't help the millions of people who legitimately need help because of that one person.
