I have had an unusually demanding work week and I’m working until 12 tomorrow at which point I’m leaving to go to Vegas with my friends. I am in denial. 24 hours from now I’ll probably be gambling somewhere.

Exactly!! Her apartment is pretty quiet but I’d also think it could be useful blocking city noise.

I’ve known 2 people who died from it in this situation. Had no idea they were vulnerable until they got it. One my age, one younger.

Except my daughter played for years on a soccer team with Mormons who couldn’t play on Sundays and we already can’t buy liquor on Sundays in Texas. Does not sound far-fetched to me at all.

This is the thing that is most infuriating to me. In Texas it is not up to the people. There is nothing we can do but vote and they try to make sure that won’t matter.

Oh man that’s a pretty big change!! Hopefully not to farmland but that could also be interesting. It gets so cold (I grew up outside Chicago).

It’s a big move (I assume bc you mentioned it - I only recently started following you). One of the most stressful things you can do. Does not mean it won’t be great!!

Planning to go to the same brand dispensary in Las Vegas that I went to in Tempe (by chance) and thinking how far this industry has expanded and how Texas is missing out.

Houses here are built on cement foundations - too much rock in the earth, expensive to dig.

As a person who grew up in Illinois with basements that moved to Texas where nobody has them I think either your house has one or it doesn’t.

We were in a company all hands (online) and my kids came in carefully to tell me what was going on. The CEO later apologized profusely for not stopping the meeting but we finished the work day as usual.

My husband just tried to use insomnia as a reason to not get up early and help out more and I suggested he get up and help out when he can’t sleep.

Against incredible peer pressure (one kid even asked me to order him to leave) a kid named Carson stayed behind to clean up.

A thing that wasn’t properly thought through: we can’t just cook ourselves dinner without feeling obligated to feed all these kids.

Daughter 3 had to go to a funeral today for the 15-year old son of a coworker that probably killed himself. The whole thing was in Spanish and she couldn’t understand it and it was still so sad I cried about it when she got home.

I checked with my 23 and 24 year old (who both live independently in more progressive states) and neither had heard much about the Supreme Court decisions this term. A little but not most.

frankly, the first defeat that we can hand them, in November, is the easiest possible one we are going to be offered, and we'd be fools not to make it happen.
