Business as Usual

I haven’t, in fact, died.  February went by in a blur of too many days of round the clock child care with the Engineer working more shifts or traveling and me collapsing the fuck in bed as soon as the kids were asleep and the dog fed.

Also because I like to make life complicated, I started a job.  Don’t feel too bad for me though because we had a business meeting the other day where three of the four of us were crying and then we had a dance party to end that shit on a better note.  Everyone was laughing by the end.  The Scissor Sisters’ song I Don’t Feel Like Dancing gets it every single time.

There’s also been an awesome dietary shift in there which means I’m taking better care of myself and mostly have better energy but also means there’s a degree of brain power and work involved in feeding my face really healthy yummy food and wandering around my house in circles to get all my steps in for the day when the weather decides to go fuck all and pour the snow down just as the Engineer left for ten days trapping me inside with the wild monkeys.  We survived though AND with the help of the internet, I de-iced my water pipes which are stupidly on the outside of my old ass house all by my damn self.  I only cried a little.

And then there’s also the ice skating routine I’m making up and practicing in the empty bedroom to the song Bulls on Parade.
