I'm tired.
Isaac's computer wasn't working this morning, and of course the first thing he needs to do is log on for a video call. I had him on my computer while I restarted his computer about four times before it connected well to the internet. I'm pretty sure the problem is his computer; my laptop and Joshua's computer seem to work fine.
Then Isaac had a reading assessment. They do it by having a bunch of kids on the video call read out loud. Each student only takes about three minutes, but it adds up when there are 15 students. This is the second time it's happened and the second time Isaac's been about last. The teacher suggests reading while waiting, but it really isn't that easy to read while someone else is reading out loud and you need to listen for your name. So I had his headphones on so that Isaac could do other work. I can get work done with that background noise, but it meant that I was stuck on my computer instead of doing the other things I had planned for that first hour. (I still got important stuff done so I shouldn't complain too loudly, but still.)
The rest of the day really went fine, it was just busy. There was a short break after work before doing some more work and a twenty minute break after dinner. And, of course, once the boys were in bed I was done working too. That's how it usually goes, although not always.
I've been trying to pick raspberries for days now and it keeps not working well. Either I get too cold after going through half the patch, it's raining, or it's too dark. However, since it's so cold I figure the raspberries won't really go bad like they would during the summer. There also aren't as many, the peak of the crop has definitely passed, but there's still a decent amount.
