NH politics! Just noticed today that a lot of houses on the main road our street is off of that had Trump signs the last couple go arounds are signless. Some of them even had other signs up for other GOP candidates but no Trump.

To say nothing of getting thyroid cancer at 22 (already researched it all when I felt the lump!) and the emergency c section for fetal distress with my first (ditto!). Has there been therapy since then? Yes. Was I ridiculously calm for both as they happened? Yup!

Flashbacks to Christmas 2022 when Southwest's system collapsed and I immediately started investigating alternative routes home assuming our flight (two days out!) would be cancelled so by the time it was we already had a car rental sorted and were on our way home

Hi my siblings at Sinai. If you’re planning on fasting this year, today is a great day to starting increasing water and decreasing salt so you can stay mindful and present on the holiest day of the year. If you’re not planning to fast, may you have a meaningful and constructive day of reflection.
