It does show that she keeps the family schedule;
It shows that she buys planners and recopies shit from one to the other (which can be fun…and can also simply be a way to avoid actually
doing anything).
As a paper, notebook, pen, etc.,
junkie aficionado, & an old and dab hand at planning & organizational schemes (with a
lot of trial & error experience),
and with awareness of her anxiety and overall ineptitude, I would lay money on her having bursts of organizational aspiration, leading to large money and time spent on getting everything
just so, and then quickly falling off or carrying the thing around but never really using it as a good working tool.
And I think my theory is borne out by the fact that the two big planners (why two? They’re virtually the same format.) frankly don’t have much in them [= her schedule is not that bad] and also appear barely used (pages completely flat, no extra notes or papers, not much variation in size or color of writing…). And as you can see, she’s on basically the first page of the one she’s writing in - a brand-new expensive system that will definitely make it easier for her to stick to it and use it regularly, unlike the last 47 she bought. Because this one is leather, and orange is awesome, and it has a clasp and a place for a pen. Plus it’s so much sleeker than those mumsy spiral-bounds that doubtlessly have Jesus quotes (or “you are beautiful, even if you married a delusional NERD who will degrade and ruin you” quotes) scattered around.
I will never snoot a love of paper or of organization, and I have spent untold time and effort researching, preparing, designing, setting up, and over-engineering systems, including time & task-related systems…and I recognize someone busy doing a lot of nothing and thinking it means they’re doing something.
And
@Melty Butter, that grip is the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen two fingers, but never three. Does she have motor issues? Maybe she never needs to write fast, idk. (Boomer reaction wants to be, “don’t schools teach anything anymore???”…but Kayla was in grammar school in the 80s, when I think kids were still being told the best way to hold a pencil instead of letting little clumsy hands do whatever felt good to a four-year-old holding a fat crayon.)
