How’s your Monday going? I’m quite positive it’s Monday because it’s a public holiday back home (Easter Monday), but not here. It means my brother can play FFXIV with me for most of the day, which is never a bad thing.

Which isn’t to say I’m slacking off – even though as a rule I like to adhere to UK public holidays in my head, even when I can’t in practice, LOL. But no, today I got up early, did some housework and laundry, played with the cats, fed the squirrels, did some studying, and completed a biology test (I am due to start a Master’s in social work in September, and SUNY Buffalo ask for 3 undergrad credits of biology as a prerequisite. It’s not my strong point, have to say).

Was all done and dusted by 11am and looking about me for something to do. Feeling a bit restless to be honest. Big changes are coming this week that I’m not relishing. My husband will start working from home tomorrow (he’ll be on the phone all day long, is very loud, leaves a trail of mess everywhere, and constantly sets thermostat about 5 degrees above where everyone else is comfortable), and I know this will impact the quiet, orderly working from home routine that I’ve had for years now.

The girls go back to school on Wednesday – and by back, I mean online. They’ve been off since March 13th and have had some work set by teachers – but it was all review stuff with no grading. Apparently it was a NY State mandate that no new work could be set – but this all ends on Wednesday. Still haven’t the foggiest notion how it’s all going to work, and am envisaging having to crack the whip every 15 minutes for the whole feckin day. Maybe it’ll be fine and I’m just being pessimistic – I usually am.
