I've got chocolate chip cookies and a glass milk, while hooked up to a pump. Is it weird to drink cow's milk while simultaneously milking your own breasts?

H’s work is having a virtual happy hour and he’s willingly participating.
I’m shaking my head but I also am excited for him to talk to....someone else.

Since I have time, here's the story of the unsolved mailbox mystery.
We live on the corner of a relatively big/busy intersection. Our mailbox is across the street from our house. It's not uncommon for mailboxes to get damaged in the winter around these parts, but winters can be particularly unkind to our mailbox in its location with snow plows piling up extra snow from the intersection. One snowy winter, there was so much snow piled up against our mailbox that the post sheared in half. There's nothing we can do until the snow melts and the ground thaws so we just let it be.

Come March, the ground is still frozen, the post office is still holding our mail. We get an anonymous note slid under our door - someone vaguely apologizing for damaging our mailbox. It was unclear how exactly they were responsible for damaging the mailbox - maybe a snow plow driver?? That was my best guess. Anyway they promise to make it right. We were very confused but okay. A few days later, I come home from work, and there is a new mailbox and post... except it is literally the shoddiest thing I've ever seen. The post was sitting in a bucket of sand, which is not great but also not rare, plus the ground is still frozen. But the post itself is like made of two different scraps of wood, like they just slapped this shit together. To supposedly apologize for destroying our mailbox and making it right.

Now we were even more confused. Was this just a temporary situation? Were they coming back to put in a real post once the ground thawed? Why would anyone think this was okay?? Spoiler: no one ever came back to put in a proper mailbox post after the ground thawed.

I'm trying to upload a picture and Tapatalk is being a jerk. The top half of the post is a legit mailbox post but they must have taken the top half off of someone else's post that was sheared off?

piratecat, that mailbox looks sadly familiar... as in a post stuck in a bucket of sand. It's a thing in places around here. I think they thought it was a legit mailbox job.

Post in a bucket of sand is definitely a thing and I get it. You get tired of mailbox posts getting damaged every winter and it's portable and you can always just stand it back up. But like why is it just half a post? Where did he get the top half from? |

I think it’s nice that they came back and tried to at least make it functional.

We’re having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and then it’s a “movie night.” In quotes because they aren’t big in movies yet so it’s probably just going to be a bunch of episodes of the show du jour. I’m off next week and feeling great about it! I have a fire going and I will get some wine next time I get up.

I'm going to cook something with shrimp tonight because I had shrimp in the freezer and I'm trying to use things up. I have a couple hours to figure out what that amazing and inspired dinner will actually be

We are starting Diary of a Wimpy Kid in a few minutes. Hoping it distracts the kids so I can start the soup.

It is 79* outside and sunny! H slyly asked if it was boating weather yet. (the answer is no, we would freeze.)
I am dying to get home and finish the bottle of Santa Margarita he opened last night and I did not partake bc I'm not drinking during the week. We are grilling steaks and sitting on the patio and I.cannot.wait.
Tomorrow will be much cooler and rainy :/

I have a mailbox in a bucket of cement. I keep meaning to at least get a pretty pot, but alas, DIY (our local hardware store) bucket it is. Almost nobody has a mailbox in the ground here for very similar reasons and most people just have PO boxes instead.
