Dutch Lock Down Day One Hundred

[Today Was SO Much Better]

TOTALLY went to bed angry last night and woke up angry and got the kids off to their respective locations angry, but then we had to drive forty five minutes each way to take the car to the dealership to remove a couple of rocks from a wheel.

And despite my best efforts we had a constructive healthy conversation.

But first the news:

I’ve been going doing downhill for the past few days, but I couldn’t figure out why. Then yesterday morning boy twin wanted to wear a dress.

And I let him.

With the story.

With the concept.

With the point of view.

She. Is. Brilliant.

But first the news:

I fell in love with N over her Broken Earth trilogy – every single book in the trilogy won a Hugo – and my only complaint is that when I finish each book, I’m in shock for a few days.

Well, not so much in shock as I’m a bit mopey.

Well, mopier than usual.

Well, depressed but in a way that I can point to the exact reason and it’s not as debilitating.

So that’s where I am.
