Have you ever been overwhelmed? Of course you have. That feeling of the world's weight on your shoulders seems to be more normal since I have gone back to school. I have two classes that couldn't be more different. One is highly organized with deliverables scheduled where grading is very clear. The other isn't so clear as it forces the student to determine what the deliverables should be. They both create a significant amount of stress as I work to either complete the assigned deliverables or work to identify what they should be. I am glad I am taking both of these classes. Both are pushing me to be my best.
My grass is dying. I am a bit frustrated. New grass... dead grass. The neighbor's lawns are green and growing and mine... isn't. Samantha put some fertilizer down and we have been watering but it just hasn't taken off yet. Maybe I should plant some rocks.
Inflation is a kick in the pants. I was looking at the value of the US Dollar over time and it is just lunacy.
I was looking at this site https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm which allows you to put in a value and see the corresponding inflated/deflated rate of a different year. It is just sickening. I think with so many working from home that the price of fuel isn't hitting everyone like it did pre-COVID. Still, the price here is $4.44. I have work associates in the UK and in Singapore that are currently paying much more so I am grateful that the cost hasn't reached those values.
I'm tired. I am off to bed. Repeat.
