Aurelia do you have meds? Or just the ones you have don't work. I love my triptan.

OTC only.

Today I've mostly cuddled cats and called my dad to wish him a happy birthday. After last weekend's migraine followed by 14 hour days I'm wiped out.

Ooh, Scrappy, a Mahjong group sounds so good!

I'm starting to get concerned about some of the messages ltc is getting from her grandparents now that her language skills are improving. Not sure what I should do about it.

sj, I can tell you from experience that ltc will absolutely develop a good filter for things like this. Knowing there are different viewpoints (and knowing where you stand on some things) is something we chose to do because we felt it was important too. Now that HPF is closing on teens (OMG HOW ONE MORE YEAR ACK) I can tell you that filter expands until they hear no messages whatsoever that don't come through spotify.

ION I am so ridiculously tired. I have to turn in big project on tuesday and I think tomorrow is onesday, right?

Thanks, everyone. I just remember growing up thinking my grandparents walked on water, and I know ltc already adores hers. So, I worry about what she is learning from them

Oh wow. Someone just rang my doorbell twice. By the time I realized my roommate wasn't answering it and went downstairs the person was gone. And I thought "what weird creepiness is this that someone rings my doorbell at 10pm?" A few minutes later I get an email from Nextfoor--one of my neighbors private messaged me there to say my garage door was open and he'd rung my doorbell to let me know! ...I had no idea you could private message someone on next door or know where they live?? Now I feel bad because I don't know which neighbor he is, and my garage is the other side of my house from the front door so it was a bit of a hike for him to do that!

It was kind of him to try and help, meara. That's a good neighbor to have.

I didn't know this Nextdoor thing existed. Apparently a lot of my neighbors are in there. And a neighbor was giving away 6 bookcases yesterday.

My condolences to you and your family, Sail.

msbelle, I hope things get better between the two of you quickly. My daughter is six and with all the changes in our lives right now she's been moody and even hateful towards me on occasion. And I know it's expected and I know it will pass, but it hurts so much all the same. May he grow out of this phase soon. Because I'm sure it's a phase and there are better days ahead.

Meara's life has always been and will always be so much more exciting than mine. Sounds like a fascinating friendsgiving.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I wish I could just sleep through it. Only two more miserable holidays to get through before I can be back home and celebrate things properly. Holidays have been brutal the last seven years. It will take me some time to regain the festive spirit.

Argh -- my coordinator just gave notice. It was definitely time, but I was hoping we could find another position for her here before she went somewhere else! Also, I have no idea when she was even interviewing -- I would swear she hasn't had any appointments.

I am sorry but I have skipped and skipped.

Trying to order something from Penzey's for my Trump-voting dad (lolol) for his b-day and the site isn't working. Tried to get a digital subscription to the NY Times and my login isn't working. People, my rage is already at an ALL-TIME high. This is NOT helping.
