Homework
Just had to catch up on my own homework after that three day migraine. The assignment is due today. I sat down to begin reading. The phone rang. I sat down to read again. Someone was sick and could not find the medicine. I sat down to read. A neighbor kid knocked at the door. I sat down to read. I couldn't find my highlighter. Searched and found it. I sat down to read. The phone rang. Friends had their well pump break. Could they come take showers at our house? Yes, of course, you and your 5 kids can shower. Went to make the bathroom sorta kinda clean. I sat down to read. The husband asked for dinner. I moved my books to the kitchen. I put some food together. I tried to read in between stirrings. I fed the family. They complained about the menu. I cleaned up. I sat down to read. The friends arrived to begin showering. Two hours later they went home. I hustled my kids to bed. I sat down to read. I fell asleep a third of the way through Carl Sandburgs' "Early Moon." Today is a holiday so everyone is home. I am taking the phone off the hook. Everyone can live on peanut butter and jelly. I am hanging a sign that says not to bother me unless they are bleeding from the head or on fire. I am sitting down to read. Happy Monday, all!

LMAO....while my distractions aren't the same, they are inevitable. I had so much thesis reading to get done this weekend. I let everyone believe I was out of town, turned the internet off, turned my phone off, and only surfaced to use the bathroom. Good luck today! I wish this "holiday" meant something in FL. humph!
word veri- xgnrnv the noise made when interrupted yet again.

What holiday? Ohhh, you mean the one that celebrates that racist person that came to America and slaughtered native peoples? I'm proud to say that in Sonoma County, where I live, we do not celebrate it at all....instead, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day!
Happy Indigenous Peoples day to you all! (School is NOT closed either, whoopeee!!!)

I think you need a couple hours away at the library or the local coffeeshop, or a good lock on a door and some headphone!
