PSA: For those of you who want to add me on Dreamwidth, I'm also days_unfolding over there.

Putin has put his nuclear weapons on high alert. Lovely. He IS trying to start World War III. I realize that I'm lucky to be on a different continent from him. However, my ancestors are from Lithuania and Poland, which Putin would like to take over. But nuclear weapons go everywhere.

Wow. Look at all the people in Berlin protesting the invasion in the Ukraine. I read an article that said that Putin has got the members of NATO on the same page, which didn't seem possible.

Italian went okay, except for a power failure at my teacher's house. We spent our conversation time talking about the war in the Ukraine. He's concerned because most of the gas in Italy comes from Russia. I'm learning conditional tense. Soon I'll know as much grammar as I used to know in French, but a lot less vocabulary, so I need to work on it.

Lay down for a nap but couldn't shut my brain off. Just as well because I have lots of stuff to do.

I studied some Italian and German on Fluent Forever, which is an app on my phone. It's not good for grammar, but great for pronunciation and vocabulary.

Ran out and got soda and munchies. I bought a frozen Shepherd's Pie to make for dinner. And I cleaned Walgreens out of diet root beer.

I'm sitting for a moment, but Zara's telling me it's feeding time. My work is never done. My mom was saying yesterday that food takes too much time. First you have to shop for it, then you have to prepare it, then you eat it, and then you do the dishes. She thinks that it's too much trouble.

Now I'm feeling exhausted, so I want to go to bed early. It's still a little too early, so I'll go write. Nope, too tired, so I'll declutter the kitchen and put stuff away. Oh hell. I need to get the garbage out (done).

Wrote an email to my dad about languages, the fact that we might go remote permanently at work, and the war in the Ukraine. (He's in Nevada, and we mostly communicate via email.)

I'm beat. I'm going to do my nighttime tasks and crash, and get up early, I hope, and get more stuff done before work.
