Sooo proud of my son who just passed the written test for his commercial airline license. 980-odd study questions, roughly 100 actual test questions—most written with the INTENT of goofing up the person testing—and he scored…
<DRUMROLL>
96%!!!!!!

Man, it’s hard being a college student home for a holiday when NOTHING is open. Son is trying to use Black Friday as an excuse to run around a dead town at 1AM, but everything’s closed. I don’t micromanage his coming & going when he’s home, but 1AM when literally nothing is open is not smart. 🤦♀️🤦♀️

Helping my son study for the written test for commercial air and…oof! Something like 980 questions, and more than half offer trick answers that are so subtly wrong that you’d miss it if you’re not completely on your toes. Dang! How for these pilots pass these tests??

Holy buckets! If you like darker romance (mafia-esque) get this book! I think Kage may be the hottest MMC to ever hit the printed page! Phew! I’m sweating and all he’s done is talk! #booksky

I love that my kids (at 9yrs apart) are very close. But right now, I’m INSANELY jealous. I haven’t seen either of them in weeks, they both live equidistant of me and each other, but I just got a photo of them having brunch together. They have time for each other but not me! 😂😂😂

S12E12 of GREY’S ANATOMY…I’ve never related to Bailey more than watching her try to treat the COVID denier in the wake of her own mother’s death by the virus. It hit way too close to home since losing my own mom in 4/2020, also from COVID.
