Hi there. I’m drafting a Star Trek/Ted Lasso crossover in my head. It’s called “Starfleet Til We Die.” I can’t wait to introduce you to MY crew of the USS Richmond.

Y’all, I love my kid and helping him manage his emotions is hard work.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of things that make me cry:

  • “Some Things Are Meant to Be,” Little Women: The Musical
  • “Forever and Ever,” Pooh’s Grand Adventure
  • Stories where people break up
  • Stories where people stay together
  • Feeling angry
  • Feeling happy
  • Feeling sad

I Don’t Have Time to Watch the Next Whole Episode of Star Trek Before Resuming My Caregiving Duties: The Kimberly Hirsh Story

It took ibuprofen, me singing a lot of songs, and Rock-A-Bye Baby’s Lullaby Renditions of Queen, but I finally got my freshly vaxxed kid to sleep.

The song “Forever and Ever” from POOH’S GRAND ADVENTURE: THE SEARCH FOR CHRISTOPHER ROBIN has been making me cry for two days and I don’t want to be alone in this, so if you feel like joining me, have a watch/listen.

My kid is getting his first COVID shot tomorrow and I definitely used that as an excuse to buy him a bunch of snacks, a new coloring book, a new book, and a video game for us to play as a family. Y’all, there are Scooby Doo-themed snacks that look like actual Scooby snacks.

I have been boosted and will now avoid productivity until Monday. Byeeee.
