6yo is having a whole Lego city opera. Budgies (parakeets) are providing raucous accompaniment.

Pouring myself a cup of iced patience and serenity… or sanity maybe? #coffee #parenting #birbs

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN yeaaaah I heard about this last night. I agree the response here is not good, nor is it the right one. The restaurant is ultimately the one to blame… but is is a part of “Disney Springs” which should give them some accountability

Welp, I just found this sinister face in the print of my duvet cover and now I won’t be sleeping until I switch the duvet cover. 😳 #facepareidolia

@mockingbird I think you shouldn’t even need to ask that. Alas… the world we live in…

@kendonnelly cannot emphasize this enough

@Bix wish these damned stepford wives would snap out of it and publicly shame and divorce their asses.

Should it stay or should it go?

A week ago today I pulled a muscle in my shitty neck, trying to brush my hair. I got orders for PT and I am slated to start PT the week kiddo returns to school. I am also seriously thinking about getting a haircut. But I’ve been waffling on chopping my hair for months. But I’m bitter that I was doomed to so much pain just trying to brush it. But also… this is the longest it’s been since before my last neck surgery.

@Keysalagain Hoo boy, Nana! 😱

Listen, fucking around with one of those things scared the daylights out of me in college. Nope.

@051G I will have to actively search for these here. My hubs is spending an obscene amount at the Indian grocery, due to my and our daughter’s obsession with mango kulfi. This might be comparable and more cost effective. 🫢

Welp, today I learned two things. 1.) That my 6yr old is tracking along alarmingly well while I am reading chapter books to her. 2.) That I can’t skip uncomfortable words or phrases anymore because she has read them while tracking along. I have to face the music.

Honestly, it serves me right. I have no business censoring books. I just wanted to preserve the insulting-name-and-gesture-free innocence she’s been enjoying.

@051G can confirm they’re here in Ohio. Watermelon are the best

@KazzyH I transferred in October from the main hospital to one of the regionals closer to home. My last unit was Leukemia and that entire unit/floor is still 100% staff masking to this day. When I transferred it was a rude awakening. In the medical oncology unit I work in now, it’s just me. And I am not a bedside clinician. I have been referred to as, “the only white girl still wearing a mask.” (I’d prefer woman, but you get the gist.)

@KazzyH we are only allowed to “recommend” but it’s an oncology floor. Lives are at stake

2 COVID patients today. And their visitors will be the reason there will be two new ones by Saturday. Ffs. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #healthcareworkers #rant

We also had golden raspberries but kiddo smooshed them into her face before I could take a pic.
