I’m in day 3 of my new #HexingAid* and let me tell you, the ability to stream Spotify straight into my ear is pretty freaking cool.
Also: check it! It’s so small that you can hardly see it, even though it’s a behind-the-ear model.
*not a typo - its what I’m calling my hearing aid. Feels lovely and witchy and maybe a little dangerous. 😈 (Thanks @Agatha for the naming convention! I love it!)
Other observations:
-remove hexing aid THEN comb hair on that side
-walking next to an elementary school at recess time is excruciating: plan ahead (seriously, why are tiny humans so monstrously loud?)
-sunglasses have a learning curve
I can't stand loud kids - I call them raptors. 😂 I have CPTSD/neurospicy issues, so screaming is absolutely terrible. I have an acquaintance who is deaf. They LOVE being able to turn off their hearing aids and turn their back on obnoxious people. I'm a *little* jealous, tbh. 😂
@Agatha We were at a wedding last weekend. We were at a table with a 4 and a 6 year old. Prior to the event, we were promised that they were the "most well behaved".
Guess who wasn't at all well behaved?
I would have been fine if their parents had had them eat, be around for a hot minute, and then make a quick exit to their hotel room where they could be as rambunctious and noisy as they wanted. Instead, they were there for HOURS at this lavish sit-down event.
@jenneviere (Only good decision about that relationship. 😂 😂)
My husband and I got married at a sushi restaurant, just us, our officiant, and our officiant's husband (and our witness). We held a child-free-except-our-child celebration a month later. We also asked our friend to be our child's minder, so they had a specific adult assigned to them to keep them cool or take them someplace appropriate if they got uncool. 10/10, this was the best way to go for us.

My ex and I got married at the courthouse. A couple months later we had a celebration event. We rented an indoor/outdoor pavilion at a state park by a river. October weather. Our own bathroom. A kitchen. And a kid's park within eyesight. Catered BBQ.
Best. Decision. Ever. Zero kids underfoot, and no one felt like they needed to rush to leave. Super relaxed. Everyone was in comfy clothing and could eat as much as they wanted. 😂
