muffin0, I am so sorry. That is overwhelming. Sorry they are asshats. I will never understand people’s need to be the ambassadors of whatever they think is right. What’s the point? It doesn’t help anyone only hurts. Seems so simple to me is kindness and acceptance is better for everyone involved.

muffin0 That just sucks so bad, I'm sorry you are all dealing with that. You have tried to help them adjust, they are choosing hate. Your only job now is to continue protecting your kid and that means not seeing or communicating with the ILs.
My office has a bunch of stuff in it from our storage room that we moved so DH’s office could get built out. I want it all out of there, but don’t want to put in the work to deal with it. It’s a real drag.
One of my good friends is getting divorced (I think). All I know is that her H was moving out of their house several weeks ago. I offered support and then followed up a couple weeks later just letting her know I was thinking about her. She finally reached out and asked about getting together on Friday. I’m really looking forward to seeing her.

I found an easy photo editing app for my phone and I’m having way too much fun. I watched a dog today and I had her owners bring her Halloween costumes.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I bought a rower at Costco this weekend and finally got my office cleaned up and set it up. It works really seamlessly with the iFIT app. I’m excited to start using it. Fingers crossed I can actually stick with it since it’s literally in my office.

Probably the least helpful unasked for advice after "calm down" when someone is upset: telling an insomniac who is too tired for a late dinner is "you need to relax." Thanks, dude. Insomnia I have dealt with literally from my earliest memories was just missing that profound advice. Psychiatrists, psychologists, GPs, sleep experts, they've been missing that advice all these years.
I'm at home, recovering from surgery. I feel mostly fine, some pain when I get up or down or stand too long, but sitting or lying down it is pretty minimal. Hopefully that continues. Since I had a blood clot in January, they gave me this injection medicine to avoid blood clots, which is scary and weird. My H injected it for me last night, which was great because I assumed he'd be too squeemish to do it, but he wasn't! I am not sure how I feel about giving myself a shot, I usually look away when getting them from other people.
My H has interviews with 2 jobs today, and I really hope he gets an offer from them both! It sounds pretty likely one will offer it to him (the job is unposted so we're not sure they are even looking at anyone else, he just got this interview through his network) but the other one is a better fit, so I hope they both offer them the job and he'll get to choose. His post-doc isn't over until March, but he would likely start either of these jobs sooner and just end the post-doc early. His current supervisor said that's totally fine to do. So, fingers crossed!
I'm glad your surgery went well. I hope it continues to go smoothly. My husband gave me daily shots for a week after a surgery last year, at first I was sceptical but he did well. Lol.

Ugh, I’m sorry. Reminds me of IF, when people were like “just relax!”
