Trivia and non-trivia
May. 31st, 2009 04:54 pmFirst, the trivial stuff:
1) Maker Faire is lots of fun, especially if you go with someone who is laid-back, moves at roughly the same pace as you through fair-like things, and doesn't mind crowds. Was mildly surprised that we only saw two people we knew the whole time we were there. Had much fun, saw MANY MANY hot geeks, and saved our fair-food money for a nice Greek-fast-food lunch after we left. My joints are FURIOUS with me for some reason, but I had a blast, and I even remembered to buy/use sunscreen.
2) Also, bought crocheted poo for the teenager.
Then, non-trivial:
I am having some trouble holding it together, though so far I have only melted down for a few minutes at a time here and there. The Munchkin who doesn't live with me is having serious troubles, which means my mom (with whom he lives) is having serious troubles along with him. Between that, my upcoming three-week furlough, and my health stuff (more about which under the cut), it's hard to push through the day some days.
I've made some adjustments that will help:
A) Quit my volunteer job at the WCRC for the foreseeable future
B) Decided that the summer issue of the magazine will come out in August, not June (August is still summer, right?)
C) Encouraged![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
someotherguy to remind me, every time I start to make some fun plan or other, that I am pretty overloaded right now and might want to rest instead. (He normally doesn't parent me, and wouldn't do so now except that I've asked him to, which took some effort on my part.)
