DH wants the garage open if heās home. First thing he does is open it up when he gets home. I only open it if Iām using my gym set up in there- for airflow

Really, really random: There is a handsome young buck (literally, not figuratively) that we have seen a few times around the neighborhood. He is a four-pointer and has been hanging out with a few does. DD1 and I were driving back from a concert in DC this week shortly after midnight and he was by himself right at the edge of the main road, eating grass and standing on three legs.
I may have been really tired, or possibly just weird, but I slowed down and rolled down my window and called out to him, "Hey, dude, are you good?" Like he was a neighbor, lol. He just stared at me, at which point I realized that disturbing a large animal with pointy horns who might at any moment decide to jump across the ten feet or so between us and ram his head at my open car window was perhaps not the brightest move on my part.
He didn't do anything, and it was weird enough behavior that I went a little further on, turned around out of curiosity and then he took off running on three legs, so he's injured. I hope he heals up. We see a lot of does around but the bucks are a lot more rare and it's kind of cool to see him hanging around.
Ugh. I am on this weird swing recently where I am not that hungry, in general but itās a good time to eat, so I eat a meal (healthy, balanced) and when finished, I feel very hungry!
Itās probably just a blood sugar thing. So annoying.
I got a steroid shot in my foot yesterday, and the result is that I basically didn't sleep at all last night. It wasn't helped by my Echo Dot brown noise routine failing to start this morning (and Alexa blabbing at 5 am instead) and the asshole Dog Neighbor dumping a pack of dogs outside at 7 am and letting them bark for 3+ hours.

The vacation spot where our cabin is has a movie theater, so my kid finally gets to go see the Paw Patrol movie. Thatās our only plan for today. Iām hoping I stay awake!

Why are teenage boys so gross. DS is very particular about his skate socks so every season I have to buy a bunch of socks and hope he finds a pair or two that he likes. This year he loved a certain sock and they have been out of stock since I bought them in August. He's been wearing the socks multiple times - like 4-5 times in a row before washing them because of his back to back schedule and refusing to wear any of the other socks GROSSSS! I got an email today that they are back in sock and grabbed a three pack so at least now he has four pairs.
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.
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.
If you zoom in on our house on Google street view, you can see our cat chillin in the window. It's kind of hilarious. DS somehow noticed it.
Does anyone know if a 65+ y.o. has to renew medicare every year, or does it roll over? I still don't have POA for my dad and he always ends up with insurance issues. He said he'll look in to renewing, but we can't trust his memory if he did.
The same Medicare plan he has will roll over. If he wanted to look into a different plan like Medicare advantage, he would have to do that himself.

I got my Covid booster yesterday and feel like junk. I wound up taking a sick day because I canāt really wake up, I have chills, Iām achy and my brain isā¦foggy. My boss was great about it so I donāt feel too guilty.
1. A new guy was hired at my H's work. It's kind of a weird situation but H has been completely consumed by it ever since he heard the guy was interviewing. To be clear, absolutely nothing about this has affected H personally at all. But he is catastrophizing and just obsessing over imaginary ways that this could be bad for him in the future. He has been hard to live with for over a month. I finally had to tell him last night that I couldn't entertain the topic anymore. He has been impossible to engage in a conversation about anything else for weeks. It's exhausting.
2. I have also lost patience for parents who get out of the car at morning drop off. You slow down, push your kid out the car, and keep it moving.
What about blowing kisses....literally standing there blowing kisses? They were first car in the line, last for kids to get out and all the rest of us are just sitting there waiting to leave as our kids are inside the school by then.
There is an unbelievable number of parents at our school who won't let the kids out until they are the first car in line. At least 4 cars fit at the curb. So I'm the 4th car and son tucks and rolls and I'm expecting to be able to get on with my life, but the 1st car pulls away and the 2 in front of me pull up and stop. Now the cherub in the first position can get out. And I have had it happen that 2 cars in front of me have done the same - waited so they could pull up 6 feet to let them out. For absolutely no reason. I now leave room between me and the car in front of me. If you don't leave I go around you. Get over yourselves!
Today I had a working from home perk. I usually take my lunch at 2:30, go pick my son up at school and do the last hour or so from home. Today my son had a half day and my cousin picked him up. I still did the normal routine but I got home early enough to take a nap!
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.
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.
My husband is moderately obsessed with our neighbor's garage behavior. I admit it is strange, but I'm trying to mind my own business. LOL It's a husband wife and 2 kids, one a toddler and one an infant. He hangs out in the garage all the time with the door open and lots of lights on, so it IS really hard not to notice. If we're washing dishes or anywhere near our front windows you can see right in there. In addition to the many, many things in there he has a couch, tv, bar. So it's like he's sitting in the living room with the wall of the house missing. LOL I think he hangs out in there so that he isn't making noise that would wake babies? And husbands hiding to avoid taking care of babies irritates the shit out of me, but I certainly don't know for sure that's what's happening! But my husband said he saw him acting like he was practicing to be a bartender. I said maybe he was taking classes? But he said, no it was like The Shining. He was shaking the shaker and acting like he was talking to and serving someone at the bar - but he was alone.

Last week I was showing my friend something on my phone and she saw my Hās profile pic in my phone and was like WTF is that? I told her the story and she was like I need to see the full size version. isabel because she always get a kick out of it
I hope heās doing ok! Hugs to all struggling with parent health issues.
Thank you, charlatti! I talked to him this afternoon and he said he's doing ok. No headaches or pain in his head, but he said his hip is still sore and a bit stiff, but he can move around ok.
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.Ā
It was very good! Fair amount of violence. Most was ājustā gunshots, although they do saw at someoneās head(?) post-mortem (I kind of looked away so not sure of the details) and thereās one shot of the back of someoneās skull hanging off and a severed hand. But mostly it just doesnāt seem like a movie that would hold teensā attention for 3.5 hours. Iād probably wait until itās streaming for them. Itās an Apple Original Film so I have to assume it wonāt be long before itās available on AppleTV.
I saw someone on HIH say it made the white people look good and Iā¦strongly disagree. I donāt think it did that at ALL.

My neighbors do this too. Door wide open, unlocked Tesla inside, along with all of their bikes and tools and stuff. We live in a city!
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.ā
dochas ššš. Heās replaying Cocktail in his mind.
Any chance he uses cannabis and trying to keep it outside?
Haha! I don't know, I've never seen any smoke or anything. I don't know if that would work because if it was something that would smell, it would still stink in the garage, and it's attached to the house. The garage is closed now.
This fucking woodpecker outside my office at home is going to be the death of me.
We were similarly tortured by a woodpecker at our old house, every morning at like 5am it would peck away at our chimney and it sounded like a jackhammer was outside. We put up owl statues and that scared it off.

That would totally be a stoner thing I would do if I had the space-a comfy area thatās safe from weather but still outdoors for air flow (I mostly vape these days so itās not as stinky but I still go outside to partake)-with entertainment and refreshments. š

In my smoking days I was too paranoid for that. He's practically in the street! LOL I would be putting in an opening out back to make it my little smoke house. And we're in NJ, how does he stand the bugs all summer?!?
