Husband: you should really get out and start doing things on your own. Me: there’s a yoga studio I’d like to try, but they are mask optional on your mat if you provide proof of vaccination Husband: I don’t recommend that Proceeds to go play volleyball indoors at a bar where masks are no where to be seen. But they definitely stay 6ft apart at all times. A bar where they play volleyball?

But they definitely stay 6ft apart at all times. A bar where they play volleyball? It’s a big barn with 2 sand courts. But it is all indoors and has a bar and food. So people from the main bar are not in this area. I’m honestly just about ready to sign up after thanksgiving, pop 3 or 4 classes a week on the calendar a week, keep my mask on in class, and tell him to stuff it.

My MRI was supposed to be 90 minutes, which is a heck of a long time to be strapped still with a cage over your face.
Then the machine stopped working halfway through, so they spent 20 minutes taking images that were useless, and had to move me to another machine to redo them, while waiting in between, bringing my total time in the tube to almost two and a half hours.
Total time in the facility was four hours.
Then I had to rush to the school to pick up the kids for 3x flu shots.
I am officially quitting being a human for the rest of today.

I was really looking forward to Thanksgiving with family.
This is not how I wanted to start my holiday week.

My dad died ten years ago today. This seems actually impossible. How is my entire family, my whole world, never knew him?
A knew him. He died after we started dating, but we weren’t married.
It’s super weird. And so much less painful, day to day… but today feels like a huge empty hole.
No need for words, but I’ll take any peens as hugs!

I just completely sobbed while putting up holiday decorations with my kids. We were at my parents last year so I had all my stuff in storage. I’m feeling majorly triggered by things like exH’s stocking and all of the family ornaments I won’t be putting on the tree.

I have agreed to something maybe slightly insane, and I'm waiting for it to arrive and am so nervous. I am totally confident in our decision but change always scares me. Anyway, this is vague and I will update later but I am afraid to jinx anything so keep your fingers crossed for us please!

We’ve only just hit thanksgiving and I’m already feeling a big uptick in my annual holiday anxiety.
Something about the lack of routine and extra chaos throughout the holiday season sends me spiraling.

Just take it one day at a time.

W has decided to only sleep in 3 hour chunks. Lack of sleep hits me really hard, so my anxiety is up and my patience is waaaaay down. I need to figure out how to fix her before I just loose it.

Pardon me if this has already been addressed, but are you still nursing her? If you are, will cutting back caffeine or sugar help?

Pardon me if this has already been addressed, but are you still nursing her? If you are, will cutting back caffeine or sugar help? I am. I'm actually trying to break the nursing to sleep habit because was waking up still 2-3 times a night, but would at least fall back asleep. So far she's at least doing better than her brother was... This has only been about a week so far, but if it continues for very much longer I'd probably be desperate enough to try lol

I started using this app called Finch, and oh man I love it. It's a task/goal/self reflection app. I've been using it for two weeks and noticing a marked improvement in my productivity and my overall mood.

I decided to cut alcohol.
I know I’m bad about this. But it doesn’t help that media advertises it all over the damn place and makes it socially acceptable.
Wine, drink machines, gifts, holiday get togethers, Premixed shots. I don’t want to associate social events with alcohol.
Just typing this in will bring it up for ads.

I hate being an adult child to my dysfunctional parents. It's time to start the process to have my 75 year old stupid selfish narcissistic dad's license revoked. He's already told us that won't stop him from driving. I love him but don't like him and have days where I hate him for what he has done to my mom, brothers, and I. Edit: It's fallen on me to contact his doctor as step one after he's refused to listen to any of us.
