And if I'm wise / going on history, I should prob ride out the meal delivery thing in some capacity into spring so long as I'm still employed etc.

which has eliminated a number of usual domestic / personal frictions bc like. Everyone (and I) can be fed whenever, without an executive function / spoons / attention spend on it.

3 weeks left of this semester and I think this has been the most tame one for me? Like... a kiddy roller coaster.

And much as I ignore alerts I do think it oriented my attention just enough to get me on track again with calling on my tidy help person, and, in being like "yeah" when a friend was like "do you want a code for a free box of [meal delivery thing]" and now I'm entering week 2 of those

I gotta look at bus still but kid gets motion sickness p bad just going between nyc & philly so it wasn’t my first look.

Overall not having a car is fine & inexpensive but we haven’t been able to be proactive for the times we do need to rent

Oops those read out of order but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh and I def hated when we had guests bc I was the one who had to give up my bedroom for it

Anyway had a dream I was inside one of the homes from the road trips. My brothers and I would just be given a space or room to put sleeping bags down on and I truly have no recollection of where my parents slept but provably a proper guest room or someone’s kid’s room

I think the last time I was inside a non-updated home / home that hadn’t been updated since before the 80s was when I was a teenager and an elderly neighbor was having a… living estate sale? She had a v cool collection of elephant things, big & small.

Something that so many things that try to do throwbacks to common ppl of the 90s or 80s miss is that homes were filled also (primarily, even!) with things from the 40s-70s / had interiors reflecting those years. I wish I could enter a time capsule home

but may slow down a smidge and bump my capstone into the fall.
