I asked my kid if he knows who the kool aid man is. He said it’s Jim Jones.

I sold a cat cage for $50 today. Woo. It means I got more than half back and also I don’t have a damn 5 foot cat cage clogging up my life anymore.

Found a kids bookshelf, brand new, on marketplace for $20. Exact one I was gonna buy on wayfare that costs $49. Different color than I wanted, but oh well! And was right next to BIL’s, so he picked it up, and is visiting anyway Friday. Saved $30, assembly, and picking it up.

I have scheduled a free estimate for our roof and windows. I don’t own this house, but the card was addressed to “Ms Brute Q Brutus” because my name is gender neutral. I’m looking forward to the confusion of the dillweed that shows up ready to make a pushy sale.

Gender neutral names can be so handy. Husband started classes this week. It was a surprise change that they needed to “attend” online the first week, rather than watching the lectures whenever, and he had a pre existing work obligation. Buuuut he has a gender neutral name. TADA, wife reporting for duty! I’ve taken all the prereqs anyway :joy: it was just syllabus day though.

“Trailing spouses” are useful in ways people wouldn’t imagine :joy::joy::+1:

So, I’m the trailing spouse, but I’m also the one in charge of keeping a job. So… is this just the Spouse Out of Luck?

I… don’t understand this comment. I feel like more coffee will solve this. Even if it doesn’t, then I’ll have more coffee. Hmm. Better safe than sorry.

haha, more coffee helps. I’m also bad at words.

We move a lot for my wife’s career aspirations. I come along with her after either wrangling remote work with my old company or finding a new job in the city she wants to try out. Then things don’t work out on her end and I have to keep the income flowing while we figure out whats next.

That sounds… worse than I mean it to, but it’s the gist of it.

Congratulations!!!

My pipes are de-clogged and I can use my bathroom again :tada:

ETA: I am 99.9% sure this clog was caused by a new conditioner I have been using, because it leaves a terrible build up on my hair as well as tub. Why do companies make hair products that clog showers?
