It was great finding out my A1C is back to normal, I posted about that.
Then we FINALLY got the call to schedule DDs psych eval for autism. It's for Dec 1 and it feels like a final step to help us chill out over her.
Then at the end of the day I got in an argument with my mom and she did something I told her I don't want to hear of her doing that around DD (not anything illegal or substance abuse type situation)
This morning I got great numbers on my cholesterol, too, and I've lowered them over 20 pts and it's back in normal range, too.

I have been craving rain. I even told my coworker yesterday who is on the east coast to just stand in the rain on the grass and breathe if he gets the chance.
Well today it rained here. For like 10 minutes. And I went outside, stood on the grass, closed my eyes and took deep breaths. It was glorious.
My 9 year old wants to be a werewolf for Halloween, and wants a "girly" costume. But she wears adult sizes, and it is surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly?) hard to find a feminine adult werewolf costume that is not "sexy" werewolf.
There are a few teen/kids options that I may use as inspiration to piece something together in her size myself. But still annoying.

What if she put a high cut cami or other shirt underneath it? It seems like basically the same costume other than that bit, so if you could find something black to cover her chest, I think she'd be ok
I mean I guess the boob part wouldn't be filled out, but maybe there is a way to pin or sew it to lay flat? IDK.
I know I'm getting old when I complain about the crap singers on the radio. Arianna Grande? My god, horrible singer. At least Britney Spears could dance. LOLO
You think she is crap?
I'm not a fan of her as a person, and music is definitely not the same as 30+ years ago, but she is extremely talented and has insane range and ability.
I can't speak for Mel, but I watched her performance at the White House, and she has a LOT of bad habits. Not great breath support, mushes her words, does a weird thing with her jaw to create vibrato. Maybe she will develop as she gets older, but she did a Whitney song and was pretty cringey by comparison.

That kids costume is pretty cool! You could probably get some fluffy grey fabric to create the "wolf" parts pretty easily, then just use black leggings and rip up a thrift store flannel to create a similar costume in her size.

Just coming in to say her breath control is enough to make me want to put a fork in my eye. Also agreed, forced vibrato, no enunciation, vowels are formed all incorrectly.
Gato, that's what I'm thinking. I might actually be able to buy the hood and gloves (or something similar) separately at a Halloween store. The rest shouldn't be too hard to replicate. I'm just not super crafty and would have preferred the easy route of just clicking "buy now" LOL.
My first job was working in the PR department for hospital.
At some point in my son's young life, I must have mentioned that I used to work at a hospital.
For YEARS, he apparently thought that I had been a doctor there. And, I guess, that I had given up that doctor life to do communications and marketing for various nonprofits. He was maybe 11 when he learned the hard truth that I was a lowly communications major and not a medical professional. LOL.
I don't know why that popped into my head, but it makes me laugh every time i think of it.

Yes. ALL of this. I want a halfway decent vocal coach to get in there and just FIX these bad habits :-)

I think she has an amazing tone and quality.
I WISH SHE WOULD EFFING ENNUNCIATE.
That is all.
You know whose vocals annoy me?
Billie Eilish
Just fucking sing, don't rumble and whisper
She finally did a normal singing song recently and I was so relieved lol

I follow two separate vocal coaches on YT and they've never commented that she's making poor choices so that's why I'm meh
(I still think she's a crap person but she does have talent)

It's been raining for roughly 4 hours here! We need it so badly and I'm so ridiculously happy about it! Over here in central eastern WA state we don't get rain for 9 months of the year like the Seattle area. We're a semi desert and in a drought. The fire fighters have been fighting a wildfire near me for over a month.... the rain is glorious! <3
I decided this month to follow the HardCORE on the Floor group's Peloton strength stacks, no adjustments, no skipping, no complaining, just do it. Today I did that and it was core + lower body and then immediately after did a 4.5 mi walk with H and the dogs and that wasn't the most fun. I'm 5'7" and have a pretty long stride, but H is 6'3" so I really have to work to keep up with him lol.
I found out yesterday that there's a Capriotti's (my favorite sub shop from DE) location in Frisco! Am I going to drive 35 minutes for a sub this weekend? Yes the fuck I am.

I was thinking the same thing when I read this lol. Her vocal talent is really good, even though I don't love her songs. She drives me nuts though.

Ok, a bit different. But DD2 was a wolf in 2019. I cannot get the link to work on mobile, but this is the term in Amazon. You could accessorize this 🤷🏻♀️ Wolf Costume for Kids Child Big Bad Wolf Costume
@sameoldstory, I think you should be very proud of her! For recognizing she was slipping and talking to you, but also for what she wrote.
I did not sleep last night. My period is due any moment and it tends to amplify any depressive thinking. So, I am just feeling a bit foggy today and I need to input our PTA memberships into the database. But I am so happy it is Friday.
