If not found thrifting, someone in your local BuyNothing group probably can give it to you :)

I made a very similar pasta recipe last week -- super delicious!

Oh, is that the store with horrible fluorescent lighting and weird chemical smells? Shopping can be a sensory assault.

Being overstimulated and stuck in a small space with people you love who cannot be quiet is its own special kind of torture.

The Potato Chakra sometimes needs to be mashed to align itself with the Butter, Chives, and Cream Chakras. Some enlightened folks have been known to activate the Bacon Bits Chakra.

Out here in California's Central Valley, temps might be in the 90s, but it's apple picking season! These are as delicious as they are beautiful!

To be fair, that entire task is tedious as Hell. **Looking at my kitchen and bathroom sinks** and sighing. Maybe next weekend!

Why do our bodies and brains need to betray us?

So true! Kids are busy being kids and that's about 99% of what we need them to focus on.

My kid often advises that we adopt a similar lifestyle. I have to remind him that both of his parents are public school teachers who are without trust funds. Bit of a sad story, there...

Oh, this is excellent!
Erin Swartz (she/her) (@bouzannesnaques.bsky.social) reply parent
Yep! That is very much my experience, as well! It's crazy to me how much time we have to spend doing outreach to remind our community that programs need consistent support!
Erin Swartz (she/her) (@bouzannesnaques.bsky.social)
In May, a highly detailed grant application that my teaching partner and I had submitted was rejected. Tonight, a different group gave us exactly that much money, just from an emailed request for funding! I have such deep gratitude for organizations that make funding education programs simple!

Endocrine System: Hey Buddy! I see you ate right, exercised, drank plenty of water, and slept almost 8 hours! High 5! Well done! ...But, you see, I was busy prepping overnight and it looks like I cooked up a big batch of anxiety. I just go on vibes and don't measure anything. Ha ha!
Erin Swartz (she/her) (@bouzannesnaques.bsky.social) reply parent
My son did that, too! After waking me up at a bunch of times to play that start with "5," on the weekends, he wasn't allowed to open his door until 7-0-0. I also put up some big blackout curtains in his room. He was basically a rooster😂

I need a soundproof chamber to call my own, so I can crawl off to sleep when I'm ready (which would be a bedtime of approximately 4pm).

Same here. I love what I do and it's a great challenge and privilege to work with kids! But, holy hell, working in public education in America is fucking exhausting!

It was in a box of giveaways that someone put out at work. I didn't grab the mini purse that matched it and I deeply regret that decision!

And, why didn't anyone tell us that in midlife how important the texture of PJs and blankets would become? And, what if the fan starts making a weird rattling noise?

Costco is SO NOISY! Between the beeping backup signals on the forklifts and everything else emitting loud sounds, I feel like the high ceilings and hard surfaces just amplifies all of it.
