Welp, since I’m making my digital home on yet another platform, let’s get the formalities out of the way.
Hi! My name is Paige!👋🏻 It’s nice to meet you.

My parents are terrible gift givers. My mom buys gifts that I either immediately donate or throw away. My dad used to buy me “hate” gifts (like anti-Christian books).
Occasionally I get something nice if I ask specifically or buy it myself, they’ll reimburse. Which is fine…?

The exec branch is defacing public property. When will Congress actually just go chip the letters off the building instead of waiting for a hearing?

So I appreciate that all the doctors are doing safety checks but yesterday I told my OBGYN that I could take my husband in a fight…and now I fear she’s worried for his well being.
He’s fine. We’re fine. The only time we lay hands is to pray.

Is there a German or French word for when you finally go to the ER and you feel like your symptoms lessen as you’re waiting to be seen? Or is that a uniquely American experience?

Got compared to my MIL’s mom today 🥺🥺🥺 literally the sweetest compliment in the whole world. I never met her but she was a special woman with a massive heart, full of creativity and kindness towards others.
So excuse me while I cry forever.

Really going to soak in Thanksgiving this year because once the leftovers are done I’m going back to being gluten- and dairy-free and going to go a few months sugar-free as well. 🥴

Talking to my best friend from high school about our D&D campaigns is healing something in me.
Apparently we didn’t play in high school because his mom felt it might be too Satanic (which his mom saved my life so no hate to her) but did make me lol because she was otherwise very chill.

Ian logged me into his Facebook and I cried. It’s such a joy to see people I love posting pictures of birthdays and trips.
I lost so many connections and Meta won’t let me make a new account. 😭

In our first combat our barbarian tested out “the rule of cool” wherein I allowed her to make an attack roll from the ground to cut a guy’s achilles.
She (a cursed small pink fuzzy halfling—think axolotl with fur) then painted her self and stared down a small gnomish family.

Had my first session with my friends as a GM for a candy-themed D&D campaign. I came up with the idea before I knew about Crown of Candy.
I’m playing with my besties from college. We had so much fun and seriously cannot wait for our next session.

Tutoring a student in the *one* subject that I truly struggled in during high school. So my confidence is low but it’s never too late to learn high school chemistry. 🧪😅

In the last two years, I have gotten over 100 shots, either allergy treatment, allergy meds, vaccines or other medications. I feel like a human pincushion and I am tired of getting poked.

When I was a kid, I had hoped by the time I was an adult my family have learned to be more kind, but turns out given time they’ve only become more hurtful and harmful.
There is something in me they hope to destroy, but I won’t ever give up hope that being kind matters.

Watching Lou Wilson eat aioli on Adventuring Party has to be hands down one of the most horrific things I have ever witnessed but I could not look away.
Good god. 😂

This really shows my point that 🍊 has no imagination and can only imagine a darker, more bleak world. He is a predator, and thinks it’s a good thing.
The change would return the department to a name that it carried for much of its history, until it became the Department of Defense in the wake of World War II.

Just cuttin’ up at the Verizon store today cured something in me. Walking out saving money and having a smile on my face. Community is everything.

Me: fighting for my life to have less than 1 migraine a month (after having 30+/ year)
My doctor: once a month? That’s not bad at all. 🥲
Me: yeah, so I’m concerned. I have had more blood pooling recently.
Doc: oh, that’s because you’re fat
👍

Made an allusion to Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s On First?” and learned my husband had never seen the skit. Remedied that immediately. 🥲
