It took a whole month for the one at my apartment building to be moved. I mean it was absolutely abandoned. It was all crashed up, windows down, no plate. It wasn't even parked in a space, just haphazardly on a walkway/walkthrough. We reported it to anyone we could and it still took forever

Let me guess....

I mean the layers of that is just....these kids grew up doing active shooter drills or lived through actual active shooters. It's not just lulz. The irreverence is stunning. I am in awe.

I saw a tiktok re-creating the shooting with Littlest Pet Shop. It took me several several minutes to reconcile that. My kid grew up with those. I have a bag of them in the next room! To juxtapose that is just beyond amazing.

I am really truly sorry you had to wait so long. It's terrible.

She started showing signs at 3 yrs old so it was a long time coming 😔

I wish I knew then what I know now. The final straw was when she was up at 1am rearranging her room in tears because the colors weren't right. I demanded help at that point.

I told my daughter's pediatrician and counselors I think she has a sensory processing issue and they said no she doesn't. She is just affected by your anxiety lol. She and I found work arounds but she didn't get a dx until 17. I regret so much how I was as a mom at times. I felt awful about it.

last whale update, or "whupdate" the whale has passed away. here is a nice picture of her from earlier with her little flowers on her head. it actually turns out she was a boy whale but whatever. goodbye whale. you were a very very good whale

This feels like that one day with the raccoon. I really hope she makes it.

Wow

Thank you! Once I decided to commit she really took off.

I have been trying to be a good plant mom. I inherited her and hadn't taken much interest until recently. Then, I became obsessed. I just recently learned about guttation! I also bought a grow light for the winter.
