You have NO idea how much I’ve missed you. I’m actually a bit teary. 💔 This last year has been a WILD ride, and I miss my bird friends so so so much.

Hi!
I’m not super chatty here yet, but will see what happens.

(I’m still really missing the bird app.)

Oh my goodness! What a coincidence. I’m REALLY happy to be connecting with you here, Sarah.

Also, HIIIII!!

I’ve missed you! ♥️

I “left” because of the lack of privacy, and because I was still deeply attached to the tools I had grown comfy with over on the old school bird app.

Not having used either in… over a year, and seeing some IRL friend join, has got me quietly lurking again.

It has been over a year of silence and I don’t know where to begin, so how ‘bout I start with, “Hello”?

Hi!

I am so sorry, friend. That is truly terrible. 💔

I wasn’t even there when it came out! She was with her dad, except not actually because she was across the street at a friend’s house.

There have been many hilarious moments from today, but by far the best is that she somehow convinced herself that her tooth fairy’s name is… Karen.

It is nearly midnight, the lunches are all prepped, and I am working on my very LAST first missive from the final tooth fairy.

Let me tell you, I was not prepared to have kindergarten start and then immediately launch into the changing of the teeth. This is maybe a bit much.

In VERY big news, last week I finally got a new roof!

It was loud for a solid 24 hours over two days, but not nearly as loud or disruptive as when all my children are home, so I still got lots of work done.

It is a beautiful roof, primarily because it is no longer falling into my yard.

I have been so quiet on socials everywhere for the last little while as summer wound down and I faced a whole bunch of big and small life shifts.

I miss the chats! I miss my friends! My IRL people are fine, but these days most of them don’t have the longevity of my Tweeps.

But why would they be swinging IN THE DARK?

Are you certain these are REAL children?

AHHHHH!!!!!! Congratulations! That is so exciting!!!

What an adventure!!

Eek! I definitely miss them. A good portion of my interaction in the other place was private convos with a close circle from all over. I miss them a lot.

Thank you. I DM’d you.

Ha! Sorry. I posted something here. 😅

See my post about 8/8. I am feeling very vulnerable even saying that in this space.

SO HARD.

There’s been a lot of chatter in some places about 8/8 being a big deal in terms of manifestation and change, and it occurs to me that it was 2 years ago on 8/8 that I decided once and for all to leave the awful marriage I was in. Here’s to good hard changes!

This is very much mutual, my friend!

Hi, friends!

I’ve been here for a bit now, but have been really kind of quiet. There’s still some missing functionality here that is holding me back, but please do reach out and chat!

Okay, this sounds AWFUL.

Oh gosh! I’m glad he’s recovering nicely, but WOW. What a thing indeed!

OH MY GOSH! Poor B! Is he okay?

It was such a special treat! (And I am now watching for electric lawnmower sales based on Matt’s recommendation). Ha!

I am so glad you are here, and also sharing photos/stories of your wonderfully fun new home!

The pliers on the counter really say everything you need to know here.
