@Wildfire: It's been a couple of hours. -pokes you with a reminder about pictures- C:
This week so far has been a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Family emergency in a different state- we can't do anything about it until we know the outcome of their health.
and my husband's workplace just got hit with covid. Thanks to the dang employee my husband is some-how friends with. -flails- I dislike that guy strongly.
@Wildfire: I envy your beach trip~ <3 and I hope you're having fun today! :)
@Wildfire: I love your avi today. c:
My gut instinct was right in the sense that I didn't have enough info about the park date. I showed up on time, there was a group of moms there. That I ignored because I was expecting the One mom that I was texting. I hadn't realized I was invited to a Christian homeschooling co-op. I told them to invite me again for their playdate if they didn't mind. I was the youngest mom out of the group, so I was being questioned left and right. In a good way.. I guess. I just got overwhelmed.

I'm not sure if I'll be homeschooling next year which is what they wanted to talk about as a group. 90% of them are avid homeschoolers, and there were 3 or so people who only started this year due to public schools shutting down.

Good Morning.
@Wildfire: I was right to listen to my gut instinct. My play date went well at the playground. I ended up in the middle of a christian homeschooling group with older moms. I was the 'newbie' ... I don't really know how I ended up in that situation, but it turned out well.
My kids enjoyed the park and knowing they could make some real friends this time.
The only mom I didn't get along with was the one from the city, she was too busy getting to know everyone at the table, she didn't take notice that her son was bullying our kids. =3="
The mom I had texted, and felt skeptical about, ended up being pretty good company. She was wildly eager to be my friend and kept apologizing whenever it was clear I was uncomfortable.
@Wildfire: Yeah, It's been a couple of years since I did a planned playground date. We've been moving around so much, we haven't made any connections in a while. This mom I met earlier in the week was really nice and we had a lot in common, especially with parenting tactics.
However, she began texting me the same day we met [not a problem], but her texts were really awkward and forward- like as if a teenager took her phone and was messaging me. I lost my patience and told her I'm not a person who enjoys texting and if she wants to get to know me, we should get together at the park. e.e"
My husband had to cool me off by saying This mom probably hasn't had a lot of human connection since the pandemic started. So she's probably just acting excited.
But yeah, my mommy-senses are tingling- either from those awkward texts or my 'stranger-danger' alert is on. XD
@Wildfire: That's the hard part of adulting 'leading by example'. e.e"
I have a playground playdate today with a mom I met earlier this week. My mommy senses are tingling about it and it makes me nervous. I don't know if it's just pandemic nerves or I legit feel like something isn't going to go well today.
I guess we'll see. =o
@Wildfire: There are some plants in the yard my body totally rejects. So I'm working around those.
I did dig out my hammock chairs after you said you were in your hammock. :d
I just need to get to a hardware store and get some hooks to install on the patio. or maybe invest some money in those hammock hanger things that can be moved around.
@Wildfire: I feel so much better today, thank you for asking. <3 My energy is coming back. The last couple of days, I spent a lot of time outside, getting my body used to that outdoor pollen. >3< Sucked at first, but I went outside this morning with no issue. c:
I got some new plants I need to put in pots today at somepoint.

Hello~ Welcome to Voltra. :D
I'm a nostalgic 28-year-old. I love cartoons, drawing and I'm a rather easy-going person.
I tried doing the barista thing for a while and I have a lot of respect for you for being able to do it. <3
@Wildfire: I hope your car gets done soon too. I had a consistent headache in the airports last week. :c Those buildings were wiped down and sprayed constantly. And Everyone had their own hand sanitizers, so the mesh of smells.. bleh.
Posted in Van Gogh Exhibit Posted 4 years ago
I have a friend that went to the Dallas exhibit. She said it was worth it. I think you should do it! <3
I recently went to the MeowWolf interactive art location in Vegas. I definitely recommend experiencing these 360 art exhibits. They are amazing!
I'd love to see the Van Gogh experience, but a little too far from me currently.
@Wildfire: I'm not feeling very responsible today. I just wanna play sims and veg-out at my computer. lol.
I know I should do my paperwork stack, but the mood I'm in, I feel like I'll be making mistakes.
I often think about the lady I met way before the pandemic began, she was one of my customers and told me she was allergic to alcohol. She got hives anytime she was around disinfectants or alcohol. I think about her frequently because I'm sure she's more afraid than anyone out there during this pandemic. Allergic to the stuff thats' supposed to clean germs. e.e"
@Wildfire: Love your avi today! I should actually tackle my stack of annoying paperwork/bills today. e.e" gross. I don't want to. If I don't do it, it's not getting done. ;c
I hope you get your errands done! :D
