Yes.

Just go to the doc. That’s your foot. Leave it to a pro.

Keep expectations low. You don’t have to take your 1 year old to Disney. Attention span is short, so keep it cheap. They’re fine doing the same things they do at home, but in other places. Anything different is cool. This McDonald’s has a better playground. The giraffes at our zoo are bigger. This library has fluffier chairs. The silde at our playground is higher. Also, you don’t have to take your kids on every vacation. It’s ok to leave them with family or friend to have time away.

We’re not old, we’re experienced. I love that I lived a ‘be home by dark’ childhood without a microchip.

I think duolingo has forums for it

Ooh. We have an Asian Latin fusion place that’s delicious! Check this out! https://maps.app.goo.gl/1fKt5Fs2UJXUsawF9

Met in 1986. Began dating in 1989. Married in 1994.

My son is a mechanic and he likes it. Doesn’t make a million dollars, but he gets by ok. There’s a lot of turnover in the industry - shops get sold to corporate chains and then they screw everyone over. There are plenty of jobs available, so when that happens he’s usually able to find something else within a few days. He started by getting a state inspector license from a 2 day class. Everything that has been from books, videos, and on the job learning.

Playing near other kids comes before playing with other kids. Even if he’s playing ball or playground or going for a walk with you while being around other kids, he’s still learning.

We ordered it from Costco. They have a great return policy and will pick up things they delivered if you want to return them. Plan was to buy a mid price memory foam mattress and then, if needed, keep exchanging it for the next one up until we hit our budget limit. The first one was perfect! It’s been 9 years. I don’t know how long beds are supposed to last. We rotate it periodically and it’s still crazy comfortable.

Most days my husband. Some days my kids. Some moments my job. Every night i love how comfortable my bed is.

It’s a journey and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s box. Anyone with a firm, unwavering belief has really just given up exploring.

I confused Steve Reich with Steven Raichlan (https://a.co/d/2WxRrOQ) while reading this. The idea of Chopin and BBQ blew my mind.

We go pretty frequently (about every other month), but less since covid and now mostly nationally touring bands. My husband often buys a T-shirt. We also like to go see live music when we’re on vacation. My son toured with a band for a couple of years. I know it’s hard when they’re not making much money- sleeping in the van (or worse) and eating what the venue will give them. How about you?

One spoon of pickle juice. Do not eat a pickle.

Contractor told me my wall paint looks like skin. So i guess we’re repainting that. 🤦🤷

The good - Helped my son move, which sucks because i have a bad shoulder from a bike accident recently, but there were 5 of us (family) so i was able to stick to lighter items. Was nice to spend time together and support him. He’s been with us for the last 3 months and i know he’s ready to get back into his own space. Exhausted and sore, but feeling good for him. Also, have some restaurant gift cards, so I’m hoping for a cheap date tomorrow.

The bad - i have a cat that will not use a litter box and cleaning the floor beside/under the box every fucking day is making me crazy! Also, have a bunch of work to get done before Monday because I’ve been slacking.

Invite her for a coffee or soda or dog walk or whatever. Talk to her for awhile. Then tell her how much you enjoyed spending that time with her.
