alicevangelinethis is another one of those metaphorical things, bear with me:
A lot of the confusing nebulous prep work I've been doing at my job is beginning to take shape and move forward. It is feeling like I'm moving a heavy boulder, slowly. Like I'm pushing a lot of stuff, but not very far or very fast.
Similarly, I have a bigass Eval meeting for the boy today - every 3 years is an Evaluation update, and I've read the reports and they are exhausting and I want ice cream NAOW. It is weird to see the 2 percentile on things. And his academics for his grade level are now average instead of super ahead. I'm bracing for that and it also feels like a big old boulder, a big heaviness that I will catch and deal with.
I was watching those icy roads last week, and honestly - if sysyphus had some grit on the road (sand/salt combo) it might have helped the boulder not fall back down.
Is that where that freakin term comes from?!?
