I did not expect that what initially began as flickering lights would turn into many, many hours of an electricianâs services. If this had happened when our kids were young, we sure would have struggled to pay for the very necessary work. I need to remember never to complain. I may not be rich, but I am fortunate.

Going to vet with a friend who may have to make the decision to put her dog down. This after my own kitty had to spend 5 days in same hospital. We do the best we can with our furry family members, but the end is still hard.

Deleted because it was too personal. But it did feel awfully good to write it out.

It seems like everyone else in the country will have had a chance to be vaccinated before youâre even eligible

Thank you, God, for letting me get 4 hours of continuous sleep for the first time in a year or two. Pain free as well !!!
(Severe sleep disorder.)
All of which is my own fault due to weight gain.

Thanks to my wise pastor for pointing out that the irritation/anger Iâve been feeling at other people the last few months might be due to accumulating stress over everything thatâs happened to our family over the past 11 years. Huh. Makes sense. Just realizing that helps for some reason.

No to ALL the clothes!! Why does anyone want to wear a shapeless sack??? Guess Iâll keep saving my money even though I will soon be able to do some IRL recreational shopping.

I know youâre not asking my opinion, but Iâm pretty sure all that Y2K stuff should be dumped. Granted can and toothpaste expiration dates arenât firm, but 20 years later? I donât want any.

Itâs clear that this new house will be finished after closing - tiled backsplashes, quality light fixtures to replace cheap place holders, trim details, closet systems, garage storage and floor epoxy, etc. Iâve made so many compromises with your preferred vendors already, on top of the limitations of our insane attempt to build during a pandemic, that Iâm over this house before itâs really begun.
I donât think you understand what âcustomâ means. Iâm not willing to pay your â+â on our cost+ arrangement for things we can do ourselves later, particularly when it means settling. I already had to push back on flooring, insulation, HVAC, windows, doors, etc. Youâll make just as much on this house as you would have if we let you do it your way because the things weâve insisted on are higher quality and longer lasting. Weâll just forgo the finishing details that arenât needed for a Cert. of Occupancy and take the time to get what we like.
On the bright side, H will be happy that our house wonât be showcased on Houzz or in the builderâs marketing materials since it wonât appear really finished when the last check to the builder is written.

DH told me he believes the wife of a couple we see occasionally doesnât like us. Specifically me. Now I need to think back over a year to when I last saw her and try to figure out why. Ignorance was bliss.

Our neighbors seem nice but⊠do they have to keep sending texts to Covid test sites? latest was covidfairy or something. I donât want to discuss our medical issues/plans/brag about our success/failure at getting a vaccine/trouble with allergies and considerations.
When did people lose the ability not to ask people personal questions. Leave me alone.

Just once, after having written a hundred times on the same thread, " It means nothing," I want to write, âIt means youâre rejected.â

Almost 14 years after treatment and 13 years after the non-obligate precursor finding, I get to have a biopsy. I know the odds of nothing are high, but itâs still scary. Please donât crowd me.
My friend, I canât imagine what youâll be going through. It will be hard and painful. A positive attitude is great, but it doesnât cure all. I want you better, I need you better. D tells me youâll be in great hands, which helps a lot. Iâll do whatever it takes to help you through it.

It made me feel angry that the college counselors at my sonâs private school are there only looking after their own personal interests, their own kids or kids of other faculties. One does not spend over 30k a year to send kids to a private school just to be told âhe could always choose community collegeâŠâAbsolutely bs. Iâd like to see you fired. And I would like your sons try cc to start with.

What a difference 50 years makes. When I was a kid my father used to say that washing dishes was a good thing to do because it was mindless. Now washing dishes is on many lists as a great mindful task. I guess mindless has morphed into mindful?
