Twitter: August 21

My last post on Twitter was on November 5, 2022. I downloaded my archive and stopped using it. Since then I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my archive. After some thought, I’ve decided to do a “this day on Twitter” post. I’m going to try it out but may abandon it after a couple of days. We’ll see . . .

I can’t believe it. Calvin slept in till 6:30 today so he got 12 hrs of sleep.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2009 6:49 AM
Calvin has started trying to hold his board books.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2009 7:29 AM
Today I’m trying to go down from 2 pumps a day to 1. We’ll see how this goes . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2009 9:27 AM
Calvin just spit up (threw up?) a huge part of his meal.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2009 11:17 AM
I just got back from a picnic at Calvin’s daycare. Now off to work.


2010

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 6:34 AM
For some reason Calvin appears to be really distressed by me wearing an apron.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 6:35 AM
He keeps trying to pull it off me.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 6:38 AM
Ok . . . now he’s distressed by the toaster.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 2:48 PM
Just got back from church and the library.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 2:49 PM
It’s very hot outside.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 4:26 PM
While I was preparing dinner and not watching closely enough, Calvin filled both sets of shoes with water.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 5:04 PM
Wow, Calvin likes his pasta tonight. (He did manage to eat some broccoli first though.)

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2010 8:15 PM
My menu and shopping list is done for the week!


2011

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2011 5:40 PM
Calvin is picking leaves from our basil plant and feeding them to himself and me. The flavor by itself is a little strong.


2012

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2012 6:13 PM
Calvin is singing “A Tisket A Tasket” in the bathtub tonight.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2012 6:18 PM
Now we’ve moved on to “The Farmer in the Dell.”


2014

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2014 5:33 AM
Last night I dreamed the protagonist from Weir’s _The Martian_ was the astronaut from _The LEGO Movie_.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2014 3:56 PM
Target, during college week, with morning sickness. Fun.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2014 4:02 PM
I think it’s time for me to curl into a little ball and ignore the world for a bit.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2014 5:07 PM
Calvin’s teacher reports he is “such a sweet happy boy.” Apparently he used it all up.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2014 5:38 PM
Well, I still have all-day morning sickness but it appears I’m starting to be able to eat vegetables again.


2018

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2018 10:59 AM
2 emissions tests, 2 vehicle, and a cat registration all before 11! I have accomplished all my goals for the day.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2018 1:38 PM
Also, I have completed school supply shopping!

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2018 1:34 PM
The upside to the outside air being unhealthy is instead of feeling like I need to take them to playgrounds, etc, I can stay home and clean house without feeling guilty.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2018 4:45 PM
Random thing I just discovered in my purse: a wrench.


2019

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2019 7:25 AM
It was probably inevitable that when I went shopping I only actually bought things in the bookstores (yes, plural).

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2019 7:53 AM
Related, we may have a luggage weight problem.

[@calvinsdad tweet “I only bought three books at the con. What’s the damage on your end?”]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2019 1:40 PM
Well, your 3 books are about the same thickness as the cookbook I bought. Then there are the 6 other books . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2019 1:41 PM
Just found another book in my backpack. I thought I had bought more.


2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 7:31 AM
Willow decided to punish me by meowing a good portion of the night.
[The previous day she was unable to crawl under the hotel bed.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 8:41 AM
There’s ash on the car. Not surprising I suppose but still odd to see.

[Context: Jaeger and the kids had moved to California ahead of me while I finished up my work. This was my second day driving down to California, past multiple major fires.]

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 9:31 AM
There is someone in Starbucks wearing a black coat with tails, dark round glasses, and an off-white mask that has a elaborately curled black mustache on it. Quite the polished look.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 9:36 AM
Upon reflection, I think the right word is dapper.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 9:32 AM
Also, kind of disturbed by the person in scrubs who has a mask on but it’s pulled under their chin . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 1:40 PM
Wow. That’s quite the road.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Aug 21, 2020 2:20 PM
The first book Julian wanted me to read with him was Fire in the Forest! which seems a bit too appropriate at the moment.
Julian, dressed in green Minecraft pajamas, sprawled on a green sofa holding a 1st level LEGO book titled Fire in the Forest!

Here’s a picture of what the car looked like.
View of the back of our Rav4 with its down open. The car top carrier is on top. In the car are boxes, garbage bags, trash car, cleaning supplies, and other random stuff. The back of the car is completely full.
