Why do phone calls send our nervous system into fight or flight?

I'm a little doubtful because after almost 40 years I still don't have my life together. But we also scheduled check ins and I'm really hoping this strategy works.

(He did also validate that there probably is something physical going on and it's not just our mental health)
Nothing worse than having to reach out of my depression cocoon to skip youtube ads.

I was using the bathroom when all of a sudden my cat emerged from behind the shower curtain. Like some kind of fluffy horror movie.

It was gas.
40 is marvelous.
My friend and I are house sitting for her neighbor. There's no ac in the bedrooms. We had a heat advisory today. It's 10:30pm and it "feels like 90Β°". If I didn't already have a villain origin story, this would be it.

I tried giving him name brand hamburger helper but he didn't like it. I get the gluten free because I have celiac disease. I hope they get it back in stock!
