A day full surprises

I will keep it short.

February 19, 2020.
Although I have short nights lately and spend my day in the cold the day was a rather good one.

The bus-kid missed its bus but the next one was on its way.
School lost one of my trays, my green one. They played dumb as we asked what they did with all the food. The headmaster didn't know and was rather rude and the youngest's teacher lied too. The kid buys it but not me. I told them if my tray doesn't show up they need to pay for it.

My friend sent me some money.
This made our day. We decided to divide it over 5 weeks so we have a bit extra to buy.
Today we spent is on: minced meat (turkey), cheese, a sausage, and some cookies. Thank you, my dear friend.

The day started grey.
The sun had a hard time to come true. As it finally did, there was wind too. I could hang the laundry outside and it dried mainly because of the strong wind.

The children had a burger made out of the minced turkey meat, burned baked beans in tomato sauce, the last bit of mashed potatoes (powder in a bag), some custard pudding with cherry jam (it was meant to fill pancakes with) and the bus-kid had some soup (cup-a-soup - powder you add boiled water to). We all had some slices of sausage. It was in the sale I never bought it before.

My weight:
61.2 kilograms. Hurray, I lost weight, 100 grams since February 8th. 🥳

What I ate today.
hot chocolate (cocoa, water, a bit milk). 3 cookies, some drop, a small turkey burger and I tasted from the custard pudding, 2 spoons beans, and 3 slices sausage.

No sit-ups, bending, jumping jacks.

No Prednisone. 😐
I still use cream, so far so good.
The infections are not over but no pain.

Lazy day, bad mom? Moms are seldom allowed to do nothing, are easily called lazy. Men can be lazy and children too. That's what the Netflix film "Bad Moms" is about. You can kill time with it but I would not call it spectacular. I got over it years ago. I do not care what people say or think, if I am, according to their standards, a bad mom. My children can take care of themselves, make their own homework, cook and clean. I am not their maid, housekeeper, cook, they do not pay me for what I do and I do not have the illusion they will be grateful for all the sacrifices I made and still make. They will simply say they didn't ask to be born. I might be selfish but I deserve it and most of all I need me-time. After a long life of violence, sacrifices and pleasing it is what I need most of all and will take. The only difference between men and women is the way they are raised. It's 2020! Have a look at all those SF films ever made. Have a look at the position women have. It isn' different from me. In reality, most women their lives are worse as in "back to the future", my mother had more rights and freedom as many children have these days. Even my grannies had. It is something to keep in mind if you raise your children. If you start making the difference because of the gender you are no longer open for the possibilities of a child and start influencing their personality, creativity, and you will never see the great person it could be.
Dpoll 59: Shouldn't this platform attract more women? Steemit is not a social network. If it comes to socializing people go elsewhere. So far the result of an earlier dpoll of mine. We can promote Steemit as such but a lot needs to be done till it is what it claims to be. Shouldn't we focus and invest more in women? They are the biggest readers, think and speak faster and willing to engage. It could do this platform well. We all know this is no longer a platform about cryptocurrencies only and it has a lot to offer.
Dpoll 60: What % of your income you spend on the costs of living?
I searched the internet 25-40% should be the standard. I know from over two years ago with many people that wasn't the case. Most spent over 75%. With a big salary, this is not a problem but with a small one or social help, you are in need.

A freewrite with the prompt... 🤔 I am allergic to water...
Um Himmels willen. My entry to the second contest hosted by @filosof103. Write a comment/fantasy story of how religion came into the world.

I intended to schedule this post with @esteemapp but something went wrong. Yesterday I tried the scheduling again and the results of it are:

I can schedule with @wakeupkitty but still only the first tag given ist published. So.a published post needs to be edited. If I edit with @esteemapp the changes are not made after publishing.
Scheduling with @wakeupkitty.pal is not possible. Same phone, same app, I use the right key...

Can you explain why earnings decreased with 40% since we get paid in SBD? I thought I finally did better on this platform but since I no longer earn in Steem my earnings decreased with 40% and I can not figure out why. Of course, I can sell SBD and change it into Steem but both have exactly the same value plus I lose more because I need to pay costs for it. I thought the great thing about cryptocurrencies is we are free, anonymous, do not have those "banking costs". How come I see them everywhere?
It's crystal clear A tale for the #31sentencecontest.
Dpoll 58: Will you swap Steem into... or? The only good news about it is I forget about all the food wasted by the school last Saturday. I am still upset about it.
A letter to CCC Scheduled with @esteemapp for 4 pm Parish time. I keep my fingers crossed. The app is up to date. It was not posted. One hour later I checked it out and did it myself. What is wrong? How come it does not work?! This is my entry to the CCC contest hosted by @hive-166850.
Crazy bird. It can not chirp that's for sure. Today's freewrite tells you more about it.
A photowalk through the old days. My entry to the CCC contest #TakeAPic hosted by @olivia08. This week you need to show something old/vintage.
