Good morning all and Happy Friday,
Life has been really challenging. I'm overwhelmed, frustrated, and have feelings of insecurity. Rationally, I know how to deal with it all. Subjectively, I'm in the thick of a jungle and only have a Swiss pocket knife. This too shall pass. It sucks right now, though.
QOTD- Never eaten in shower. However, I've drank beers in the shower. 20 years ago, that was my idea of living. Looking back, so horribly ridiculous.
B: Tangerine.
L: shish kebab, pita, salad.
D: Steak or carnitas street tacos, guac, charred knob onions.

G'morning all!
JB - Sorry for all the GLP1 snafus. This medication is now on every body's wish list. I've been hearing left and right people are taking it. I know somebody who took it about 1.5 years ago and is the only person who said it never worked for her. She was on it for 13 weeks, no ins so she was paying out of pocket, and she lost 1 lb. I have no idea how that can happen.
QOTD: nope, I don't need another place to associate with food. But my daughter eats in the shower, she usually showers late at night so she preps a snack plate and takes it with her. First time I saw it I thought it's a one off, but nope, it's a regular thing for her.
Do you guys know what fairy rings are in the redwood forest? "Redwoods often grow in fairy rings, where new trees sprout from the roots of the parent tree.The parent tree's trunk eventually breaks down and returns to the soil, nourishing the next generation." So when you see a cluster of trees like this pic there was a mama tree to begin with but broke down in order for the kid trees to grow up. It always makes me emotional when I see a Fairy ring. Natural light and noir version.
DD is having a blast in Chicago and sent us this pic while going around in South Loop. Chicagoans must be very uninhibited.

Ava I have to ask. Is your father's name anywhere on your bank account? If not, then I don't care if he is your father or that he's 91 I'd have his ass arrested for theft. Some parents are just ********

With all the work you had done, you probably should have taken a vacation and a hotel room for the week, but I know you would have been crazy wondering if they were doing things right. Once we needed a roof replaced. I talked my husband into going away to a resort that week out of state. He was highly nervous because he could no****ch the progress, but we had a young child and I did not want to live in the noise and mess. He kept calling the neighbor to ask how the roof was going. When we got home everything was finished and they had done an excellent job.

I'm an early riser, even on days off! I could probably sleep in a bit if it weren't for our dang alarm cat.
