Captain Mom’s Log: Week 3: Day 16

The days are blending into one. It’s all one giant Groundhog Day, but less funny and with significantly less snow. Inner Beasts are itching to escape from every corner of our beings. I entertain Chief Mate and myself with acoustic jingles and spontaneous dance rap songs. Our own life soundtrack, if you will. I will spare you the recordings, although they do exist. Not sure what they will say about us when some future generation finds them.
School has yet to formulate, but I have faith it will soon take shape. Many masterminds are working around the clock to make it happen.
Math must go on. Reading must recommence. Science must continue to cause speculation. Art ... well you get the idea. Carry on, human race.

Captain Mom's Log: Week 22: Day 150

New School Year's Resolutions All About Me: I will forgive myself.  I will allow myself to feel like garbage and hide under the blankets until an adorable stuffed wolf (or otherwise) comes to cheer me up. I will let them cheer me up. All About Others: I will forgive those around me. (Even if, and particularly if, I feel that they're in the wrong. Everyone is hurting. Everyone.) I will listen. I will share. All About the World: I will take each day as it comes. Post Script: Remember to cut my nails on a regular basis. Remember to stretch after exercising and keep exercising. (NOT: I did it today! Now I don't have to for another ... month...)  Remember that creativity helps even if I reeeaaallly don't want to pick up that pencil or walk allllllll the way over there to turn on the keyboard. What will you do? END TRANSMISSION

Scraggly Hairless Tail lumbers across the straw.  Nose rooting for rodents, mud on paw. 'Tis a shame to see symbolic tail reduced to twiggy rope. Parasite or accident perhaps? Down down the slope. With morsel, I hope.

But What of the Turtles?

 The swampy pit is now a veritable lake. The Earth's crust breached, giant rocks adorn the edges of the water. The only sign of life is the neon yellow vests operating CAT and surveying the work with poised grunt. Not a snapper to be seen. A golden mess of straw lines the muddy edge. I had almost forgotten what that lighting could look like what with our onslaught of gloomy days. The neon vests are almost done covering up their mess. My entertainment will come to an end. I suppose there is always the news... If I want a more dismal source of occupation. Would you rather be a snapping turtle with your mucky home unstuck? Or would you rather be governed by the squalid few who ignore their people gone amok?
