A Week in the Life
.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.
Today is my last day at work.
The short version is that it's what is best for everyone right now.
This was not a last minute decision. I have been wanting to quit since last year.
Unfortunately, between schedule conflicts, illnesses, the kids, and life in general...
I have not been able to find the right work/home balance.
Both are suffering as a result.
I feel weird when people ask me about it.
Most people get it. A few seem to think I've lost my mind.
(Disclaimer: I am a cashier. I am not giving up a dream job.)
I feel like I'm being overly defensive about it.
Mostly I'm just tired of the questions.

My son was officially accepted at my daughter's private school.
So, that's happening.
.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.~*.*~.
The husband and I actually had a date day last weekend. Normally we don't get to because I work on the weekends. We are usually both too tired during the week.
Unfortunately... I made the request for a date thinking there were no conflicting plans and was hoping to do a whole day of it.
My daughter's troop meeting was that day! Oops.
Luckily they do one big meeting once a month and my dad was willing to take her to it.
It was nice, but I really wish I could go out without time limits!

I am positive more has happened since then, but with the resigning... It's been a very quick three weeks.

LA to Vegas
I'll admit this one is stupid. However, it has moments where it's actually pretty funny.

A Quiet Place
This one was really good.
A weird observation: Did anyone else get Signs flashbacks watching this?
(Don't let that deter you. It's an amazing film, but certain shots reminded me of Signs.)

Life is Strange: Before the Storm
I really loved the first game and was hooked from the start. I'm two hours into this one and ... I don't know.
I hate Chloe's "power".
It's just smack-talking until your opponent is "eviscerated".
Except in most situations, this bullshit wouldn't work.
The first time it comes up, she's mouthing off to a bouncer who is literally twice her size after getting caught with a fake ID.
I don't necessarily expect realism in anything, but this one was a bit much.
(The second time it was used, it did actually make sense.)
Maybe I'm just too old for this?
I'm hoping it gets better because I do want to find out more about Chloe and Rachel's relationship and supposedly this is a good prequel.
