Imposing Order on Chaos

Klara decided not to go to camp this summer. This means that I have to take her to the swimming pool, the playground, the trampoline park, and so on and so forth between bouts of working. This is working out great for me because I’m at my most productive under pressure and time constraints. I’m not sure how sustainable this is for Klara though because we’re only on day two and she is already striking up conversations with every passersby and every lifeguard at the swimming pool.

In other news, yesterday I got vaccinated for shingles and the side effects bite. I’ve seen people suffer from shingles and all of the side effects are completely worth it. I only wish that in normal circumstances I could be as productive as I am with a shingles vaccine and while intensely cooking for and entertaining a 10 year old.

My whole identity is that of a person who imposes order on chaos and I can’t say that I’m not extremely tired of that.
