The many layers of rejection
It’s funny (not really) when I consider how deeply rejection affects me on a daily basis.
I know one thing:
I will never get used to rejection.
Hardships and plight: coping with the new normal
It appears I am completely, utterly alone in my hardship and plight. 🙄
I have neither hardship nor plights of any kind. Most of the time… 😉

By the time I returned from the other side of the neighbourhood with the kidnapped dog at about 9:15 am, my house smelled like bacon.
Then I saw the teenager at the table eating breakfast. My eyes almost fell out of my head… 😄
He’s up! At what he calls the crack of dawn!
Let this be a lesson to you:
Bacon wakes the dead. And, apparently, teenage boys too. 😂

For the most part, the kids are self-sufficient with their remote learning aka homeschooling. They’re tween and teen and tech savvy enough to figure out most of it on their own.
But… 🙄
You knew there would be a but, right?
