I was chauffeuring my daughter and her friends around for a few hours today but it's exhausting listening to a bunch of preteens and trying to follow or even understand anything they're saying. I had to sit in the dark and quiet at home for awhile

The best part of going grocery shopping with a family riddled with ADHD is never, ever making a list. Do we know what we need? No. Is the stuff that we get anything we actually needed? Also no.

I was putting off watching Starfleet Academy because it felt like a chore, like I was doing it just to be a completist, but the first episode was surprisingly really good!

Last month I lost my keys, the day I was putting up the Christmas lights. Are they under the snow? In the garage? Did someone find them and now they're waiting for the right opportunity to rob my house and steal my car??!
Nah they fell into the basket of hats and gloves inside, we found them today

From Dutch Duolingo I learned that a sandwich is a "boterham". Ah yes, a translation of jambon-beurre, of course. But apparently that's just a coincidence?? The boter part might be butter but the ham part is unrelated
