jinkies DS struggles getting in/out by himself still. I finally just decided to park and walk him to the crosswalk. Everyone is much less stressed that way.
I ordered from Doordash last night and in my bag was a realtors business card. I thought it was kind of weird, but I imagine the real estate market isn't so great with these interest rates.
I went to dinner with my father and his girlfriend last night and the decline in my dad just gets worse every time I see him (both cognitive and physical). He and my brother do not speak and haven't in 10 years and I just realized last night that I am going to have to deal with this alone. I mean, his girlfriend will be able to guide me towards "it's time to do something" but she can't put him in a home, that will be on me to find and arrange and...man that feels overwhelming today.
I am going to see DS2 at college on Sunday. He's a 3rd year but his first two years were local so this is his first year actually gone. It's only 2 hours away but it's still gone. I'm so looking forward to taking him shopping and stocking him up things he's running low on and just getting to talk to him. It feels like he can tell me via text all is well but when I see him and talk to him and look in his eyes I can really believe that all is truly well. The last time I went I came home feeling so at peace. I will take him and his girlfriend out to lunch and I'm excited to see her as well but I can't wait to just hug him (he is a very touchy, huggy guy....he doesn't care who's around or how many friends are there, he will bear hug me and basically life me off the ground).
Why are people in Facebook groups so unhinged? I belong to several that have been really helpful professionally in the past, but the number of bonkers comments recently has gotten so bad I'm considering leaving. Just be normal and helpful to others in our line of work, Facebook randos!
(and yes I realize that expecting people to be less weird on Facebook is probably asking too much)
I am often amazed at the things some people will say with their real name and photo attached to it.
There needs to be a comprehensive handbook sort of like "What to Expect...". I struggle with knowing what's to expected for the age and also how to know when something needs to be addressed at the next appointment vs this week vs a trip to the ER.
I would like to thank the inventor of muscle relaxers (possibly the natives of the Amazon Basin in South America, per the google). After 4 solid days of head/neck pain, I feel I am getting better and I slept!
And it was cool to get an rx through a vitual dr visit.

But I always appreciate when the people who show their ass (especially on our local community page) also display their business name so I know where to potentially avoid.
I know I’m depressed about the new boss coming Monday. I’ve started looking at remote jobs.
Supposedly someone was told that it’s ok he left off his previous employment here. After 10 years it’s ok. Whut? Uhhh no. Ok, but everyone knows.
Im off and today is my last appointment with my hairdresser. She’s retiring. 😢 I can’t decide if I want to chop it so I can go longer before having to find a new person.

ProfessorArtNerd, hope they figure everything out (and test for a urinary tract infection as that seems to be a huge thing for the oldies).
I'm still feeling so tired after Covid and we seem to have so much going on - work is very busy and every weekend we have planned events. This weekend we're hosting 5 people with 3 of them staying at our house. My H is doing all the cooking but that means I have to do the 'hosting' as well as dog handling and my energy levels are not quite up for this. Hopefully, adrenaline will kick in. I'm going to make sure to NOT drink much as I do need the sleep and I may give myself permission to go to bed before everyone else. I have done a lot of small prep work this week (like the gazillions of laundry loads to wash all the sheets and duvets/covers and towels). We just have to do a small bit of work tomorrow to make sure our house looks guest ready.

Our new neighbors keep their garage door wide open during the day and leave the stroller on the sidewalk. Where tf do you think you are, Mayberry? Bizarre behavior.

Ugh the most beautiful house came on the market. Ugh ugh ugh. We can afford it, but we'd have an interest rate of 7% (currently at 2.125) and our daughter adores our neighbors. Ugh ugh ugh. Why couldn't this have come on the market last year when rates were good and she hadn't yet met our neighbors???

Our kitchen window overlooks our neighbor's garage and I am endlessly fascinated with their garage behavior. They'll leave the door open all night, leave stuff strewn out of it into the driveway, leave their Mini convertible out in the driveway with the top down overnight, etc. And we live in a fairly safe neighborhood, but there are car break-ins on the street so it's not something I'd ever be comfortable doing.

You never know what might be wrong with it that you can't see in photos. And as PPs observe, there might be weird neighbors.

Every time we have a car break in in our neighborhood someone posts about it online and they always end in "we leave our car unlocked" or (when the car is stolen completely) "we leave the keys in the car".

Is there a car in the garage? Or are they letting everyone know it's already been stolen? (I kid). I accidentally left the garage door open once (during the baby sleep deprivation stage when I could have lost my own head if it wasn't attached). The police knocked on the door to check on us. Even in Mayberry open garage doors are scrutinized. lol.

Pull yourselves together, people.
Then we (my neighborhood) always get the people arguing over whether it's better to leave it unlocked with nothing valuable inside so they don't break your windows or lock the doors.

Go see it! Neighbors move.
The most average, (not exactly what we'd love but maybe we can make it work and also pay for it) house went on the market and I'm trying to decide whether to bite. Our current situation doesn't work. But this is just so not exciting. I'm trying to figure out if we could renovate it to better.

Our garage door was open when the Google street view car drove down our street. H was doing some work in there, so it was legit open. But I am forever mortified.
It's been at least three years since I've gotten a new necklace, and this one is so versatile! Can't wait to wear it this fall and during the holiday season.
I got us tickets to see Killers of the Flower Moon tonight for a 7:30 showing without realizing it's 3.5 hours. So. I'm thinking maybe we need to switch to the 5pm or to a matinee tomorrow or Sunday lol
Let me know your review. My friend's husband's boss wrote the book and so my friend really wants to see it and invited DD and other teens friends to see it, but I'm worried about how violent it may be.

I can pinpoint the day the Google street view car drove by my house last based on the project supplies that were in my driveway. And I feel similarly. I'm mostly just happy that they drove by while I was in the house - I would be very unhappy to be immortalized on street view.

After going about 8 years between photos, the Google car came through my neighborhood right after a big storm and I have a huge pile of branches, etc. at the edge of my yard and a really sad spot where I had to take out a tree (and the debris from that). AND it was trash day, so my trash bin is there, too! Bummed me out so much!
Work is crazy right now, with a project that should culminate on 11/1 and tons of panic from all sides. I'm a little peripheral to the worst of it, but there's enough bleed-over to raise my stress rates. And I have to conduct a huge training next week, so that'll split my attention a lot.
Oh, and I found a half-eaten mouse in the middle of the basement floor this morning. While I'm glad one of the cats took care of the mouse, they usually clean up after themselves and I *might* find a dried-up tail six months later. I told the cats that they were slacking, after I carried the mouse up in a dustpan, saying "Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew" the whole way.

We already did a drive by. It's gorgeous and you're right neighbors move. I'm hoping they do an open house so I can take a peek without too much commitment.

I'm trying to tell myself that it's trash inside. Haha.
