- delegate, eliminate, prioritize. You have to let go of some things.
Good luck. I have no idea how anyone really handles this without so much help

I went full time in Jan after 19 yrs part time. Went from 20 - 30 hrs/wk in 2021. 10 hrs/wk really impacts the ability to stay in control. Im still WFH so no commute. Things that help:
- have a system and stick to it. Groceries, laundry, cleaning, etc
- let it be "good enough"

Food is far more labor intensive. You can't run and play on it. You have to have some extra knowledge of what to do. It is dusty and muddy in the non-crop seasons.

I'm constantly shocked by racism. I know my friends who aren't white are not. I'm so ashamed of other white people's behavior. It's 2025, can't we just be better????

My mom had the kind of surgery you mention about 8 years ago. It helped her immensely. She was in the kind of pain you describe. I hope your surgery goes as well (or better!) than hers.

The internet does not reward good, thoughtful leaders. Those who already know how to use the internet and have developed the thick skin to deal with trolls need to be good thoughtful leaders.

This might be the motivation I need to learn Spanish so my very, very white self and daughter can agree to speak it in public to do our part to make it ok for anyone to do so.
