Uh. I just got a message from a former colleague asking if I'd want to return to Alabama (HELL NO) to take over as ED of the nonprofit I used to work for (OMG).
I don't even know what to think right now.

Thank you all. Thankfully the hospice facility is pretty close to my house so we may even be able to visit this weekend.

willow I’m so sorry. Being placed in hospice care should allow you all to have more time with him. My grandma was placed in hospice and it gave my family more visits than what covid rules allowed. I know it’s not ideal, sending you love and strength.

Oh I thought that was a good twist! It was but also I really liked his OG character. Like, a lot. Yeah, me too.

I'm so sorry, willow. I hope the hospice gives your family better opportunities for time spent with him. It's all so unfair.

Does anyone have experience with IMHA in dogs? My 6yo spaniel, Ruby, was DX'd yesterday after a few days of lethargy and not wanting to eat. Her red blood cells were at 19%. They put her on a heavy dose of prednisone and gave her a whole bag of water under the skin bc she was dehydrated. They want to see her in a week to see if her red blood cell count goes up. But they gave me some paperwork and I Dr. Googled and apparently this is very lethal!?!!?! They didn't give me that sort of warning, and now I'm all freaked out.

My English lit prof is trolling me. I have to do a peer review for a classmate. She assigned me some fool who is trying to write about 1984, the first amendment, and cancel culture. I managed to keep my comments professional, but just barely.

Oh my god I am going to lose my mind. My angel babies turned into nightmare toddlers. It is like a flip switched when they turned 1 and now they are absolutely losing their goddamn minds almost all day long. They can be happy and playing for a bit but then they both just lose their shit and will NOT calm down for any reason unless it is me, and me only, that holds them. I did not experience this with my oldest because he was a colicky baby and then when he turned 1 he became a super lovely toddler.
It is making me want to run back to the office to work. My nerves and PPA and everything cannot handle hearing two absolutely screaming to the top of their lungs toddlers for hours while I try to work. It's impossible.
Sorry, just ranting. But can someone please tell me where the switch is to flip them back? Because what the actual fuck.

We are wondering if maybe the switch to cows milk is making them constipated which is making upset because their BMs have been pretty small this week since the switch. So trying some probiotics tomorrow and maybe that will do the trick.

Oh no, sorry willow. Junie has been coughing for 2 weeks and we thought allergies. Last night turned into an all night cough/congestion/cry fest. Went to doctor this afternoon and she has an ear infection. She's a beast with medicine so this next 10 days are going to suck.

But can someone please tell me where the switch is to flip them back? Because what the actual fuck. I'm SO sorry. My oldest was the same - terrible, colicky baby, amazing toddler and my twins were also the opposite... amazing babies, terrible toddlers. I often tell people that birth to 1yo is WAY easier than years 1-3. Things magically got better as we got closer to 3. It's just impossible to reason with 1 year olds and mine especially liked to take off running in different directions. I know you probably hate hearing it but even though it feels like never ending and you want to cry and/or run away, it truly does get better. Take some deep breaths and use all the help you can to get through it.

Update: 💯 on my peer review for providing good insight and giving feedback on where the author needs to clarify, revise, or do additional research. Guess there’s no option for burn and start over 😆
