 3/21 - Monday I was so tired after a long day of work. Happy in the morning that delete account magically worked! Sad in the afternoon that data access required a lot more on top of delete account, and didn't work even by the end of the day. I didn't have much energy, so didn't push the girls to do homework with me. Mimi got angry and wanted to run away. I helped her take off her shoes. The suddenly had an idea to ask her for a walk together. She held my face close and nosed me, then happily went outside with me. She held my hand, bounced, and talked for the entire walk. The wet road was reflecting the street light. She saw in the lights stars, bugs, and fireworks. She said she remembered when they were small and liked to walk through Aisha's yard, and I'd tell them to not walk on other people's yard. But now she knows it's not other people's yard, it's Aisha's yard.  3/22 - Tuesday Gathered more energy for work and re-injected all the big table...

3/14 - Monday Jam is officially a gem! Just in time for dishing out more money to Poma. Don't know where bright horizon hires all its imbeciles, reservation date can be wrong, location can be wrong, and different people give me different information about school's out payment.  When I asked Ella to put on pants for home, she asked if she could pick her pants, I agreed. She picked a pair of short shorts, and the lemon dress. I went to take off her little cupcake tank top, but she loved it so much and didn't want it to be off. She asked to be in three layers. She put on three layers. She sat by the vent and the air puffed up her dress, she called for Mimi: hey look I'm like a lamp.  When the girls were eating, Ella kept going to Clement's lego box to look at it. After I threatened to take away food a few times, she went again, then asked me to put it away because it was distracting her from eating. I put it in the laundry room. Paid up for IXL, started with pre-k, sup...

3/7 - Monday Finally can build docker images locally \T_T/  Received books from jd.com. Delicious in dungeon came with stickers! So funny!!! Spent 1hr+ doing math homework, that I thought I made easier :') Jam sent me a message praising my patience <3 I was surprised at my patience too.. 3/8 - Tuesday Tried to put blot delete pipeline together, found missing pieces here and there, LT: it'll take 5 days. Me: 5 days with who's skill? He opened a ticket for me for 6 days, with good notes at least :') Mimi's ma game is full of signs and monster. Ella's ma game is a lot of jumping around and fighting. (Mimi's was a lot of fighting but has turned into more puzzles (that I don't understand but she solves them herself and lets me know if 'ma' is right or not) ) 3/9 - Wednesday I gave Mimi a choice of throwing away a gum ball for each math problem she didn't want to do. She threw away four, and one of the problems was 14 + 6. I guess math homework ...

2/28 - Monday Difficult day of dramatic unconsolable Ella. I was so patient and encouraging and Ella finished her homework. I even helped her put on the Belle dress. But at the very end of the day when I found wet shoes I smacked both of them :'( Mimi came into my room later and said she wanted to give me cheeks. Her cheeks are the softest and she is the sweetest. I apologized to Ella too and she gave me (way too) aggressive puffs. 3/1 - Tuesday Woke up by something kicking my head. It was a horizontal Mimi. Brought home food and boba take out after IUI. Jam was happy :)  The girls fought and ran downstairs. Ella: I wish you died when you were 3 years old. Mimi: huh? how can that be? I'm 5 years old Ella. Ella: I hate you. I demanded them give me cheeks, they did and went upstairs. 3/2 - Wednesday Bellevue square gym is too hard to hold :') Got 2 coins after 8+ fights. Bathroom and internet is nice. Left when internet was just getting slow. Went into Niantic office yay! Vie...

 2/21 - Monday After 11 iterations of taking different parameters out, finally stumbled upon the fix to Dagger injection with Tatsuya's confirmation (I'd have kept going trying to fix the param, but turned out I can just remove it :o). Caught LT online too, they do work overtime :') Parents left when I was showering, I caught them at the end of shower and shouted goodbye, James assured me that they did shout goodbye back to me. I started to encourage the kids to check their own work. After Mimi did her math sheet, I asked her to check her work before giving to me. I went to the bathroom. Came back and found Ella checking Mimi's work. Mimi sat close to her and was twirling a pen. After a bit Ella pronounced Mimi's work all correct, I confirmed.    Ella was grumpy when playing lego, but calmed down and told me a story after some petting. We had free play time towards the end of the day, so I started a drawing video with Ella. It was a cherry tree. After drawing some b...
