Beach day!

Question: What are you doing now?

Response: Beach day. 'Can I come?'

'Can I come?' you ask. Dessa's information request isn't urgent and you'd like the chance to dip your toes in the water.

'I could use an extra pair of hands,' Lex murmurs thoughtfully.

'Hey - an extra pair of hands for what?'

'Let's get going.' Lex uses your shoulder to push themselves up and pulls you up after them.

They take the lead down the stairs. When the platform is out of sight they say, 'You might remember that in my first week as apprentice I did something and almost cracked my skull open.'

You think back to your first time on the beach. 'I do recall.'

'I'm doing it again.'

'Not deliberately, I hope?' You can't help with that.

'The extra pair of hands is to stop that, yeah. I'm clearing out some trash that washed up from down south.'

'Is that what you were doing yesterday?'

'Yep.'

So you might get more than just your toes wet.

--

Lex scours the beach while you twiddle your thumbs, then returns with a wide, flat shell and a stick. They lead you to a part of the beach where nets and bits of wood have caught between sheer rocks and run the stick over the water. The waves calm down.

They then grind the shell against the pockmarked rock of the shore and push it out to make a platform over the now mostly-still water. The nets now sits within arms reach from the platform, which is great for Lex, but is far enough from the shore to make you worry about its stability.

They use the stick to guide the nets and wood towards the platform. You try to not think too hard about where they came from. The water swells under you and you stagger.

Lex hands you a dripping net they drag up from the water. 'Alright?'

'Yep. Wasn't expecting this.' You take the net. 'How'd you almost...?'

'It was one of my first times on these. Tried to pull in some trash while holding onto what I already pulled out. A wave wiped me out. It was a pretty close call,' they say casually.

You elect to sit down and keep the net bunched up under your outstretched legs. The platform shifts again under a wave and you grab the edge for security. It crumbles away. You fold your hands in your lap and can only be grateful Reginald is safe and warm at home. Lex pulls in more debris.

You stay rooted to your trash pile and let it grow around you when it's too much to fit under your legs. It weighs the platform down and soon water is sloshing over it more often than not, soaking your legs through.

'That's it for today,' Lex says, and shoos you off. You can't say you're sad. They poke at the platform with the stick until it crumbles into the sea.

'Dump it all in that box; I'm not carrying all this up the stairs.' They point to the lifting box Deema had used. You both hoist the box up.

'I'll take care of this,' they mutter when you're back up the stairs. 'Unless you want something as home decor?'

You're still trying to not think where everything came from. 'No, thanks.'

--

Over dinner you let Deema know Pumpkin Bread will be visiting tomorrow. She grunts and turns around to hide her expression.

my #officeworker thing of the day: I’ve been trying to use the sit/stand desk more, so I stand the first 20 minutes of each hour and not only do I think it’s probably better for my body, it is also breaking up the day and making time pass so much faster.

I’ve been converted. Love the sit/stand desk.

#i hated HAVING to stand for like 8 hours #but I can’t deny I felt so much physically better #and also it’s nice now to have a choice. I’m a convert I love the sit/stand desk #maybe I’ll update my home desk eventually #office job

having a rough night of it. had a rough day of it. need to communicate but also don’t want to talk to anyone. wearing dangerously thin emotionally and too tired to fight it

#personal #I just….baby Jane is still too small.#I have to tell work that I’ll have to have two dr appts per week moving forward #work is swamped and I’m hurting #and I know it’s not my fault and there’s nothing I can do but #every time I have to update everyone on her growth I feel like I’m admitting failure as a mother #again and again and again ongoing #I break down in the dr office and drive home in silence to then cry to my husband #and I cry on the phone with my mom and I cry at church #and I’m just so worn out #and everything could be and is probably totally fine!#but somehow that doesn’t stop the feeling that I’m failing her

okay things might be okayish after all

#called the εσπα office and the lady there was kind #my problem is not solved bc they might not send the paper i need until after tomorrow morning #but I'll send an email to the hospital to let them know and im hoping that they'll be understanding #at the end of the day it's not my fault and there's nothing i could have done to change it #anyway i think i can lower the anxiety about this a bit though which is good #now i need to just stop the crying and make sure that i wont cry at all while i am not home #jo says stuff #university update

i cannot remember the last time i left the eye doctor feeling like my prescription was right

#something felt off with the new contacts even in the office but i thought it was just because of the drops the doctor used while i was there #then as i was driving i realized how lopsided my vision was #i checked the updated prescription when i got home and no fucking wonder #the difference between the eyes is a whole -1.00 #i really do not want to have to book a follow up especially because i'm worried it won't be covered under my insurance #but i'm also not paying the amount i did (and just for a 3 month supply!!) for the prescription to be wrong #and that's not even getting into how i'll have to get new lens in my glasses #who knows when i'll be able to do that #eye stuff sucks. medical stuff sucks. insurance sucks. everything sucks.#personal

so this isn’t art related but I got offered a museum job today!! It’s not full time but it’s to be a project archivist for this esteemed historical collection and I wouldn’t have to work my bookstore job anymore and it’s not a permanent job but it’s like stepping halfway out of the trenches and I feel like I’m currently filled with light???
