Well my neck is still killing me. Can’t turn to the right without blazing pain. Gonna be a long weekend at work. Scheduled with spine doc. Not available until 10/10. I am waitlisted. 😭

My mother’s conspiracy theory:
Trump picked Vance so he wouldn’t have to pay too much to revise his old campaign signs. All they have to do is put the V-A over the P-E. The N-C-E is already there.

About a week ago I told my husband I need to go get a haircut because when it gets too long it hurts my neck to try to brush. And today, I was brushing my hair and now I can’t turn my neck to the right. Can’t wait to get to the doctor and they ask what happened. 😤 #ChronicPain #spinabifida

Took a walk to the store with kiddo. My We needed some Dijon mustard for our chicken salad. We also needed sprinkle donuts, obviously. On the way back my 6yo asked, “Why do people put up Donald Trump flags if he is a villain.” I asked how she knew he was a villain. “Haven’t you ever even SEEN him, Mommy?”
Great point. We went on to discuss Kamala Harris and how I want her to be the first woman president (who is also half-Indian like my babe.) And now we are hopped up on donuts and feminism!

Hubs: A bedtime snack again? Maybe you should try to eat more dinner.
Me: She ate all her dinner. Besides, it’s not actually about being hungry it’s a D-E-L-A-Y tactic.
6yo: (scandalized!) Delay?! I do not!! Can I have more crackers and some milk?

Now I am not even mad about the delay. Proud AF of the spelling interpretation.

Oh and don’t forget the quiet ☎️ we had to make for the hostile visitor who refused to take their pot-smoking outside…

Of these, which is the most aesthetically pleasing board game:

Ocular migraines are really freaking weird. That’s all.

#TFW you ask for pretzel rods to make chocolate covered pretzels and the spouse brings sticks. 🫠

TENSing the daylights out of my right upper trapezius, trying to pull my shoulder down and out of my damn ear. 😑

This fucking spine of mine.

Do I want my kid to learn how to swim? Yes. Do I want her to experience mortal dread before and during swim class? No I do not. I tried to tell the barely adult folks at the front desk, she has #anxiety (and this kind of situation is complicated) it was like a “Oh yeah believe me, we get it. I mean haha, don’t we all?” Kind of response.

Took my 6yo to swim class today. Her teacher was absent. This was not great for her #anxiety to start. Then the teacher was a man & the other girl usually in her swim lane was absent. So she was stressed about that. Then substitute seemed like he was too cool for school. Flirting with the instructor in the next lane and half-assing assisting the kids through the water. Kiddo drank a lot of pool water. First thing she said getting out of the pool was, “I cried in my goggles.” 💔

So is the knitting community like gated with an HOA? Am I the neighbor with a Christmas display that is “an eyesore” for the neighborhood?

JFC. I showed up to an open knitting meetup club at the community room with a loom and hook and you’d think I was “the drunk, noisy, off-the-rack cousin” at the black tie wedding.

Pardon the dual metaphors but I was shook. Me and my knitting loom out here giving cooties to the unvaccinated.

What’s the beef #knitting gang?
