Was going to wait a month or two before cluttering up our house with baby items (we've been slowly buying things to spread out the expenses) but then my husband made the point that I should buy now before all the prices rise from tariffs.
Just another way this admin dictates how we live I guess. 😒

I'm so glad that several years ago when we considered getting a Tesla that we decided to just stick with running our two Hyundais into the ground.

This is such a loss. I spent so much time here with my mom growing up, picking out fabrics for her sewing projects, and now as an adult selecting yarn combos for my fiber crafting. The end of an era in an era of many endings.

Realized that without even thinking about it, when I look up public health information now I also cross-ref the CDC site with other sites from different countries JUST IN CASE. It's honestly sad.

Having to work at home while sick already sucks, how did we used to also come in while sniffling, sipping DayQuil, and trying to suppress coughing?
