Exactly. Get all of them. Every one.

Yuuuuuup. Not the same experience, but I've spent 6 years protecting a struggling child against the school system, and his individual teachers were, mostly, spectacular. It was that his needs were too great. He's about to do his GED. As a mom that dreamed of being an academic, it's been a wild ride.

My oldest was this kind of small person (and is still a magical adult). Some kids just sense the need.

It took me a second, but that's Maxwell peaking out halfway back on the right. It's a big club and we're not in it.

Truth. And, I hate full cast audiobooks.

It's normal that my kid is going to make chicken in the oven at 4am because he wants chicken for quesadillas.

I'm so tired. But delighted her is old enough to do it himself, now.

Youngest, visiting with me at 4am: welp, I'm going to go eat all the cobbler, now, goodnight

Me: I have some bad news for yoooouuuuuu....

(They all inhaled that thing by midnight)

Have PTSD, ADHD, GAD, MDD, any of the DSM alphabet soup? You're neurodivergent.

And that's just one example of relevant categories.

It's ok to keep stuff smol. You have no obligation to us, ok? You have obligation to you, and in a complex body you have to do what you, yourself, need. And I did a summer of grief last year, and especially with the swings, it's so brutal. πŸ«‚

It's not normal. Ask them if you can try a bipap, because it shifts pressure with what you need. Have you had it a long time? Or just starting?

It really is! Have you seen the videos where big cats are presented with boxes? So you get a bobcat or even a tiger playing in a box? Cat is cat.

Except this one is the Boss. I've been told.

I get that. There are so many things that, now, I wish I'd not been too shy to do, then.

I get it! These are storage in #10 cans, like a big food service can. Keeps it from going bad for a very long time, anaerobic and no bugs or anything can get in it. Which is ideal, of course, especially in SC!

You are being stared down by a yellow and white cat, who is sitting in a monitor box. Idk why there's a bush to the left side of my carport. The concrete needs pressure washing, but that's Fall's problem. It's still sixty-five- bajillion degrees.

This is Bean.

She's the boss of you.
Oh, you didn't know that?
Too bad. Still true.
She's the boss of everything.
She bosses the pitbull
If you don't pet her correctly, she 100% will bite you
She's also in love with Inari, my bonus kid this summer.

Excellent! Then you're moving in exactly the right direction- letting your brain learn a new thing, and new skills that will lead to new opportunities!

I like them best artistically, too 😁. I do like them on pizza! My children are cheese pizza only kind of folks, but I'm a "what odd things including blue cheese can I get away with adding"

I think they're beautiful and love learning to identify them. And when I initially got the deck, I also had a bf who was into foraging. But aren't they lovely! I love how things like Turkey Tail and Reishi are such potent medicines

Just a silly little personal thing, since I'm running out of big things to post as of late.

You're feeling stagnant, like stuck, if not your body, your brain. Your brain is trying to have a stretch-- imagine it like it's just a reminder that your brain wants to have fun. That could mean trying a new hobby, or listening to an audiobook, or anything that makes your brain feel happier.
