they call me drama

big: trying and failing to figure out how we're burning through so much money so quickly, and freaking out because it's money we don't have

small: office culture / management trouble, our team vs the world... also, moving desks to get away from my toxic coworker and missing my reminder for an interview i was supposed to be shadowing

other than that, mr smear's birthday party today went phenomenally well, the transformers cake was incredible and other parents loved my idea of putting puzzle pieces in the "pass the parcel" parcel. having said that, it cost us a lot, as much in stress as in money. it did spawn an important conversation with gd at 1am this morning that i hope was impactful.

i needed to rest when we got home - mr smear passed out on the way - and was woken up to unwrap presents. mr smear's haul was AMAZING, i don't think he has a real grasp of how grateful he should be.
