I’ve been so deep in grief these past few months. It’s completely knocked me over in a way I didn’t know it could. Looking forward to this even though I read very little nonfiction typically.

World’s most perfect burrito

My insomnia has been so fucked/I’ve been waking up so early these last few weeks that now my dog thinks it’s time to GO at 4am great

Saw this on a walk this week and it warmed my heart. Filled with tampons and pads and safe from any weather.

Me in the morning: yes! Light! Im starting my day!!! Me at 5:56pm: there is nothing more depressing than this world

Dreaming all night of driving through the city and trying to avoid all the sinkholes opening up everywhere and then waking up at 430 unable to sleep means your brain is very chill, right?

Showed my middle schooler this pumpkin I walked by and he hated it

Someone throw me into the shower and then put me to bed

Had a dream about te last night. Time with her.

Stressful day, went for a night walk with my number one

Banana pancake Sunday

Planted my new garden bed this weekend and I’m quite pleased

God I was so obsessed with this movie when I was a kid

Sharing AirPods with your kid is fine until they somehow break the little silicone nub thing and you can’t use them on your walk 😤

Omfg darth

Got a new couch and it’s immediately covered in dog hair

This is so real for my me/my middle schooler. In elementary school I was looped in on everything to the point where it was annoying. Now I have to remember to log into a portal to be able to see any reminders about his school at all. He’s expected to stay on top of it all himself. He’s 13.

Even my dog is annoyed at my insomnia (moved to the other side of the bed because she was sick of me trying to cuddle with her)

Someone else make us dinner with the groceries I just bought

Really missing tee today

Home from a three day weekend of wedding festivities which were lovely and I’m def too tired to work tomorrow

My work schedules important meetings on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur but then asks for availability for the afternoon of 10/31 bc they know that evening is pretty important to a lot of people

Holy shit losing my mind over this

Everything is shit but watching my dog lose her mind while licking the remains out of a yogurt container is pretty great

Had an errand over the hill tonight and both ways had crashes with overturned vehicles. Be careful on 17 folks!

A very real part of parenting teenagers is wanting to pop things on their faces but knowing not to say a god damn word about it

I’ve worked on my insomnia with a lot of success for years but I had a very bad night last night and how did I deal with this level of tiredness EVERY DAY omfg I feel like I’m about to collapse

My favorite part of moving is still being unable to find jack shit weeks later

Been thinking about banana pancakes for 2 weeks now and finally made them

Ate dinner in a sukkah today with friends and it was so lovely. This year has been a whiplash of grief and joy. Today was a lot of joy and I’m grateful for that. When things are so dark so much of the time we need the bits of light. A cutie toddler singing havdalah songs helps.

Watched the wnba finals with a living room full of lesbians and an older gentleman sports reporter that wrote for the chronicle for years and it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time

A day with Maggie: chased a coyote on a hike and almost gave me a heart attack, escaped down the street when our smoke alarm went off when cooking dinner, puked four times throughout the house as we were closing up before bed.

More California fall vibes

Shout out to Costco for having mini it’s it’s on sale this week

Absolutely perfect fall weather at the ocean today

Could I just sleep past 6 on a fucking Sunday

Kid and I went to ikea today and all the stuff is in the car but we’re inside the house decompressing

Been mostly offline for holidays - what the fuck is going on in Illinois?

First real rain of the season this morning and first real walk strike from my dog

A reminder that if you're not able to fast on Yom Kippur for any reason -- and mental health is a health reason -- it's regarded as a MITZVAH to eat. Resources and more here:

Shout out to vacuum cleaners. They really do so much.

Saw this posted in response to a Hegseth thing and every time I internally minimize what my abuser did to me I’m going to look at this because he used every single tactic here.

Day 2 of moving and I’m sitting on the couch with ice on my back looking at all the things on the ground that need to be picked up

Hey - I’m moving all weekend and I hate moving. Can you guys use this thread to tell me I’m doing a great job? I’m currently packing and cleaning the kitchen ☺️

A super smart idea is to go ham on lifting weights for the first time in 2 weeks, the day before you move, just so you’re already sore before you move even one box

I say this all the time but I really do love my Jewish community out here. Just threw flower petals into the ocean for tashlich with a bunch of queers, families, students, elders and it was beautiful in every way

The part of moving where you clear out your pantry and find expired cans and half eaten boxes of graham crackers and while there is guilt there, it also feels good to get rid of it

Apples and honey really does slap as a snack

These flowers were all donated to us for services that start tonight 😭

When it says ‘no cis men’ on the apps, that also applies to hetero couples looking for a third
