      I changed my volunteer hours at the shelter to avoid some of the frustrations I had over the summer. It has been great.

      One of the best is that since everyone knew we were understaffed today for a full clean, the volunteers who were able to come all showed up an hour early. There was no coordination at all. The cats needed their area clean so gdi, they were going to get it done.

        Ya’ll. After a year of grief-fueled burnout I have a job that pays milkbones, but is a gentle balm on my soul: bathing dogs.

            After months of fighting to get into a specialist, I am scheduled for a nerve block on my back. I cannot express how excited and relieved I am. There is no repairing the damage to it but I can prevent further damage once I can actually use my back again to exercise and stuff.

                I was intensely worried about this school year given the difficult history the kiddo and I have had with his school re: zero enforcement around bullying policies and a few incredibly bizarre teachers (Satanic Saiyan Panic, I’ll never forget ye), but so far everything has been very smooth sailing. the weight this has taken off my mind is hard to even describe.

                  Met with a therapist and we clicked. First time using one in a long time, working on being the better me. I miss mushing, but need to focus on myself for a bit. Might see ya’ll in the future might not, but I hope everyone is doing well out there in the land of MU!

                              My father in law is back from the hospital, and I am so relieved he is feeling better.

                                      When work is going well, and life is just going well in general. It feels nice to take a deep breath and know that everything is going to be okay.

                                        The candidates that want to continue our good work won the school board race.

                                        The relief is PALPABLE today, even as we hide our joy from the kids. Lots of silent fist bumps.

                                          We shouldn’t take pleasure in the misfortune of others, blah blah blah, but…

                                          Today I found out that a very-deserved bad something that was a long time in coming happened to a terrible person who did horrible things, treated people poorly, and enabled other people to be even worse.

                                          I’m pretty fucking happy about it and don’t feel guilty about that at all.

                                          And before you think I’m just being petty, we’re talking about an executive in the pharmaceutical industry, who worked for a company that absolutely got included in a bunch of the opioid lawsuits. So…

                                          deserved that

                                            My husband and I are officially certified as foster parents!!

                                            Our certification worker wants to see us one more time before we get a placement.
