@dc2lindon I'm not explaining why but in the last few days I've watched more guinea pig rescue videos than I care to admit. Come, my precious, come to the dark side. My entire family room smells of fresh herbs!

We adopted an almost year old puppy a week or so ago. She was found on the side of the highway. So good news is she is five pounds heavier than two weeks ago when she was found. Also good news is that she is eating my cat’s litter*, saving some work.
* I jest. I have been googling the shit out of how to stop a dog from eating cat litter, is it very dangerous, etc. I promise I’m taking good care of the puppy.

oreobitsy our only solution that’s worked has been to not allow our dog access to the litter box.

After the sepsis hospitalization, I wanted to make some health changes. I changed my diet and started working out when I was physically feeling well enough. I still have this stupid brain tumor, so some days suck. Even with my limitations, as of the beginning of September (from the beginning of July), I’ve lost 17 pounds and several inches. I’ve also taken myself off opiates. I was on a heavy duty dose, multiple times a day for a year for the headaches, and since those are probably what masked the fever and then infection, I decided to stop taking them. Withdrawals sucked and I have to deal with pain daily, but I’m learning of alternative ways to treat it. I’ve been on and off them before for other long lasting issues, and I hate how my body always feels so dependent on them.

Two weeks in as a full time student and I actually love it! Was not expecting to, it’s been over a decade since I was in a classroom and I never thought I’d go back. I wish I had more time to give a campaign, but I’m enjoying it and reminding myself this is a long-game positive contribution to the world.

I was just wishing for a positive thread, I'm so glad to find this one!
I've been using my screen porch as my own yoga studio and it's becoming such a great space. The Fall weather is going to be perfect for my outdoor practice.
My kids are adjusting well to in person school.
My H and I are reconnecting as well.
Love reading this thread about new puppies and fun drinks.

We spent time with our grandparent-age neighbors yesterday in their backyard and they are so, so sweet with my 5 yo. We are so far away from our families; it is wonderful that they've kind of adopted each other as stand-in family for a bit. This makes me smile so much because I'm sure the surrogate Gparents feel the same as you. A win for all sides.

We got a bearded dragon baby last week and I love him so much. Biden signs outnumber Trump signs in our neighborhood and the whole town - which I find really surprising but encouraging. My 4 y/o and I spent the day alone together yesterday for the first time in a while. He gave me multiple spontaneous hugs and drew me a picture of him hugging me next to a big heart. He doesn't draw much if ever, so I was really touched. There's my random collection of good things. honeylemon, congrats, so happy for you! FX your H finds something quickly.

Reviving to share this:
Brazilian pianist Joao Carlos Martins plays piano for first time in 20 years, thanks to bionic gloves. Injury had previously left him unable to move his fingers.

After 8 years as a SAHM, I started working remotely with my old job. Since Covid started, I have been feeling really mentally numb. I was doing nothing but housework and watching the news. It feels really good to use my brain again, feel purposeful and earn some extra money. It’s ironic (?) because if not for covid, this opportunity would not have been an option.

Since we have been dogless but still had 10 lbs of milk bones, DD1 made a sign for a little trash can we had that says take a dog biscuit. I’ve seen many people stop to take a pic of the sign and today two dogs left her a really adorable card. We had finally gotten through the biscuits... guess we’re going to have to buy more 😂
