night sweats are THE WORST. I swear to the old gods that was one of the worst parts of menopause.

I'm still a little bit away, as the scene is the culmination of act I before moving into act II. Maybe 10k words before I get there? But hey, as long as it keeps me motivated, I'm happy :)

Been there...those voices just won't stop until you let them say their piece :D

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you have a year to come up with alternatives though. From everything you've said about your mother, I worry about you if it ends up happening.

Yep :)

oh...this sounds remarkably not fun. Protect your mental health. Please <3

*hugs* (if wanted, otherwise fist bumps)
I'm sorry. I hope things calm for you and the stress monster fucks right off.

Hyatt's. It was a small local place (closed 10-ish years ago when the owner died) We only ever went for breakfast, but it was a solid meal, endless coffee, and the nicest waitress ever, who always remembered us.

I did chili last weekend...it was so good. I've never done it on a smoker though...may have to try that :)

OMG I love cheese curd! I've never had poutine...I just eat the curd straight out of the bag.

Employers definitely suck in this capitalist hellscape we're stuck in.
