I don't remember where I posted about it, but I just got approved for my grant. I'm super excited about it and relieved. I super duper need it. And now I want to apply for all the grants.

pbandj714 I'm so excited for you!!! I always dreamed of a boy + b/g twins, so I'm going to live vicariously through you 😁 Thank you! My feelings have been all over the place today. I'm super excited but then thinking of L's baby clothes and not having another little girl running around with little stick-up ponies as a toddler hit me hard. I know I'd be doing the same thing thinking about G's stuff if this baby was a girl. Last kid problems, the finality of it is so emotional.

Starting to get an idea of where people here get dogs here now. It still probably won't be until we move into a house, but it's exciting to see all the puppies!

There's a woman the next town over who has started a garden consulting business. She designs and helps install kitchen gardens/herbs, planters, etc. She also has chickens and some fruit trees and stuff. She posts a lot on IG (I think her business is just on IG actually). It's great for her! I'm happy she is making it work.
But she... posts inaccurate information about once a month and I CANNOT LET IT GO. What's the truth: am I being an ass by only DMing her to correct some info she puts forth? I don't much interact with her page otherwise because I know the info already. Should I just unfollow her? Mostly I follow to imagine what I would do differently if I had the impulse to create a similar business. She already wins - she DID it!
Edit: I corrected her today and she hearted my DM but didn't respond. Lol.

Honestly I would correct her publicly in the comments. But as politely as possible. Well, if it matters. I wouldn’t correct her spelling of a plant’s genus and species name. But if she’s advising people incorrectly, then it’s for the greater good to correct her. Nicely.

But if it’s gonna keep happening maybe just...don’t follow her. It may not be worth your mental energy. I suppose also depends on how bad the advice is.

We also have the Google Hub in the kitchen and thermostat. I like that they all go together on 1 app and when someone rings the doorbell, the video pops up on the Google hub too.

We have Skybell which I'm meh on. It doesn't always stay connected. It could be our wifi, but I know other neighbors have the same issues we do. We are in a suburb and have no other wifi issues.

Hanging a gallery wall with your partner is worse than putting together ikea furniture.

I looks fine. It’s not how I would have done it but I’ll survive. Next time we move though I’m not asking for his input.

Can’t sleep so I went downstairs and spent 1 hour obsessively treating several of my indoor houseplants for mild bug issues. Very relaxing midnight work.
Why is my sleep gone?!?

I scheduled a carpet cleaning for my downstairs today and of course it is snowing like crazy. We moved everything out of there last night so my kitchen is full of random furniture and I'm going to be so annoyed if they can't make it out today due to the weather.
Update: my carpets are cleaned. I know you were all dying to know how it played out.
