Not every relative needs to be known. Some should be forgotten. Same for any relationship, but you have to actually work for the relationships you want to keep. It's just like teeth. Only brush the teeth you want to keep. She don't get it. I get why. But my god. It's frustrating to see.

My daughter has never lost a loved one who should be alive. She takes the alive for granted. I can't be too mad bc I used to be like that. It's so frustrating bc she's going to learn the hard way.

Despite my bitching and moaning, I have managed to keep my job and still go to it--6, almost 7 months. This is a feat. Being a writer absolutely spoiled in my formative. I worked from home before it was actually a thing. Traditional work was absolute torture.

I am wearing a hoodie for comfort. Hood up. Last Airbender playing quietly. I am very lucky I can do this at my job. But my fucking goodness, I need it to be 5 already.

There are a lot of hot takes about why that orange turd is determined is to tear down the JFK Center. I can't help but think it's a hub of celebrating talent. You can have money, connections, but you are only honored there if you have substance.

My boss refuses to remember anyone's birthday, but he celebrates everyone on his. Sent an Amazon GC. I have never spent free money so fast.

One of the most important questions I have had to ask myself is, did I burn out hyperfocusing on a game or did the shitty game development (or even rpg) make me give up?

My mother thinks I am joking when I say I will tell my children she passed away on *my* deathbed. My grief gone be bad enough. Then I have to tell THEM. Grandma's baby ass kids?

I have, but it's still hard to be an elder when I'm just a girl.

My son has had a few events at his house this year. I've gone to show my face and catch up. He has a lot of friends from like sophomore year in HS. Yes, even at 22 and everyone's lives lifing. And it's always a shock to my system that I am treated as Mom. An elder.

My DD watched Clue on repeat, with all the possible endings. Repeat. I refuse to tell her HE passed. I know she hasn't put two and two together. She has not called me crashing out. Get somebody else to do it.

Today's souvenir. I think in the entire state, outside of a zoo, there is a single alligator to be found. Had to buy it for the novelty.

I can turn on a tv show and go at it. Probably, the most important fact is that they are adorable. Visually cute while being comfortable. I have tried other options, but this one is the best. I am only sad more sizes aren't available. *will cross-post on other SM.

I am absolutely showing my age here. I can't intuitively figure out how to leave a review. So... measuredandslow.studio/shop/hdcjnyc... These crochet hooks are 10/10. I have typed most of my career, so crocheting is hard on my body. With these, crocheting is a breeze.

So for my kids's b-day I got them shirts that said Thing 1 and Thing 2. (Born on the same day, 5 yrs apart.) My son is upset his shirt doesn't fit. It was a gag gift, but my child actually likes it?

I can't do old games. While playing them I remember why I rage quit most of them. I need a therapy session for Mario 2. "You mean to tell me if I lose all my lives I gotta start at beginning!!!"

No. She doesn't have money like that. But, her birthday is a national holiday. And she'll be goddamned to work. I wholeheartedly win the parent game.

So, yes. It has been used against me. The second one, and the one I am most proud, "My birthday is a national holiday." My DD has taken the whole week off. Yes, even in this economy.

In case y'all were wondering, I picked up Potion Permit to fill in my off work weekend. I am pertually influenced by Animal Crossings and Stardew Valley. (Fetch/Farm games.)

Unfortunately, getting the game from the library is paying her. She gets the "first" purchase. If it is borrowed enough, she'll get more money, bc the library would have to "buy" it again.
