We had a roof put on last week. I’m still amazed we managed to hire someone that accomplished this. Last night there was a windstorm and I had a happy dance Snoopy style that we didn’t have to worry about shingles flying all over. Phew adulting is right!

Dumb but also dangerous. I know someone who refused prenatal care and then attempted an at home birth unassisted bc it was her 4th and she assumed she knew what she was doing. She almost gave birth in the car as her partner rushed her to the ER and was offended by the lectures from nurses.

Also, this is why I don’t look at Tik Tok. I have neither the psychic nor emotional energy for people’s nonsense.

1) define cute? 2) my mom often used materials inherited from other teachers for her bulletin boards. I also put them together for her in exchange for lunch at McDonalds. 3) what? Who cares? None of my memories from kindergarten are about the decorations.

My grandma read my MA thesis out loud to her group of friends that all lives in the assisted living home together. The comment was “this wasn’t as boring as I thought it would be,” but I think they were having cookies and wine while she read.
