Anybody want a heartwarming story? My neighborhood facebook group is an off-shoot of our Buy Nothing group, and I think that's led to it actually being a lovely and helpful, very community-minded space. One member posted a meal train signup for another member, who recently had suffered a pregnancy loss (stillbirth). This person is still pumping to donate milk to babies in the NICU. I signed up and delivered a meal yesterday, and then I checked the signups because I wanted to see if any other days needed meals. Almost every date, twice a week I think from last week through the end of December, is taken. A group of mostly strangers signing up to provide meals for a neighbor. Since the election I'd been thinking about how to build community, mutual aid, etc. - and there it is, right there. Just wanted to share a "not all humans are terrible" bit of news.
14 years with you wonderful weirdos. Grateful for this little corner of the internet.
Oh my god!! I am so sorry this happened to Teeny. How horrible. You must be so scared and angry too. I’m furious anyone would do that to her. Sending you both big big hugs.
Oh wait, is this a thing? My dentist got me a night guard and I’ve been on Zoloft for a few months but i’m still grinding my teeth a lot.
The Washington Post asked me if I wanted notifications about the election that show up on my lock screen. I practically screamed at my phone.
Sigh, I won’t be surprised. It was just really nice to not need contacts. At least I had good vision during all the newborn stages.
I got LASIK in 2015. It was amazing. I’d worn glasses since second grade and it’s been amazing to not need contacts or anything. But lately I’ve noticed my vision getting blurrier. Mr. CB got LASIK before me and his vision is fine!! I didn’t even get 9 years. I’m going to look into getting it again.
Did a campout at our UU church with the kiddos last night. I was nervous but everyone had so much fun! One family brought glow sticks, which were clutch. It was a nice tryout for camping with kiddos.
