CHAOS this morning as we received a call from our kid's school saying that the lunch program we occasionally pay for won't be delivered today.

I got the message after I already dropped her off at school as was already at the office.

Thankfully my mom is retired and lives nearby. She'll shuttle a lunch to her school.

Always unnerving getting a call from the school, especially since I'm now 40-50mins away at the office and not 5mins away working from home 🙃

I dont believe in curses. But if they are real then I’m certain I am cursed.

Ever since I was little, nothing has come easy to me. Everything has been a struggle. A fight. A battle. Whether it is with my mental health or my physical health or even socially. Everything in life has been a long arduous struggle to do simple tasks that others seemingly float through.

Am I the only one that is so totally exhausted after cleaning the house on Saturday mornings that you can’t do much else for the rest of the day?

You know when you are driving and all the other lanes are moving faster than your lane? So you switch lanes... But as soon as you're in a different lane, your old lane speeds up and the lane you're in slows down?

Yup ... yup

People who use outdoor furniture... when do you have the time or energy to enjoy it?

I have furniture in the backyard all wrapped and covered in a tarp for winter. The last couple of summers, we were so busy and the weather was so uncooperative that we never ended up using any of it (despite spending hours cleaning it all up at the start of summer)

I might get an hour to indulge in a cigar here and there but entertaining guests or just lounging on a summer day seems so far out of reach.

The last couple of weeks have me in a dusty warehouse preparing inventory for a sales website.

It's a dirty production job taking photos of items and listing them on a website. A departure from the regular PowerPoints and E-blasts I usually get to design.

The things we do to stay off the dreaded list of potential layoffs 😩

Doctor: You need to stop consuming so much sugar

Me: Kid’s leftover Easter chocolate for breakfast? Sounds yummy!

I forgot how tasty peanut butter and chocolate were together. Joy!

🔬🦴 Malfunctions in #mitochondria influence skeletal #ageing
🔍 The team led by Prof. Dr Bent Brachvogel analysed in a mouse model the mitochondrial dysfunction in the skeletal system and found that developmental impairment of mitochondrial respiration leads to long-term metabolic rewiring.
📈 The results could provide a basis for new treatment strategies to influence cartilage degeneration and skeletal ageing.
