Small relief to see neither of my Senators voted for this. Hemp and cannabinoids are smart business in Oregon.

I'm the most "secure" among my 4 siblings and that just means I have a different household discussion about how to try managing debt repayment.

Oh, I use color-coding too! Monday afternoons are typically my creative/research day. 2-hour block when I'm DND.

I'm balancing a few "fun" projects in the mix with my usual items. Gamifying my daily calendar/meetings so I can "play" with something a little when I make good progress.

Teaching myself how to make a smartphone app for IPP work!

My in-laws hit their mid-60s about 2 years ago and stopped hosting "by default." Now, they either travel for the holiday or are hosted by the in-town SIL & her family.

The rest of us young Gen X/old Millennials "figure it out."

Frightful Fellas wouldn't say no if offered the house from "Gremlins," either. Mid-Century Modern in a walkable neighborhood, in upstate New York?!

"Tell us about Barbacoa Night at FOB Gaucho, Mother!"

I had a similar moment when my 7-year-old asked me why the public pool needed to be closed for Veterans Day.

"Don't they know you like to swim because you're broken?"

I told my team members last fall, during a team-building activity, that one of thr ways they could best help me at work: "Ask me what I've said 'No' to this week."
