Desperately refreshing sittersitty, nextdoor and Facebook to see if anybody responds to my cry for childcare. We are looking at a second week without one. #covidsucks
What does one wear for a holiday work related party? It's been too long since I've seen my hanger-worthy clothes. Do people still wear heals? #stupidpandemic

Having a baby has made me a lot less tolerant of other people's everyday activities especially when they have the potential to interrupt her rare and usually brief naps. Mowing the lawn at 3pm in the afternoon should be outlawed!
