Please stay safe first off. Second, It seems that you are doing every bit you can. The self care is especially important. I tend to forget that part a lot. I’ve been focused on trying to keep things normal for my tiny human. While also going out as little as possible (other than outdoor walks & hikes ) or interacting…

Yes indeed. A wedding present. Opted for that rather than formal dinnerware as I had inherited my moms

Thanks and truly. That car was a rock. When I told people how fast we were both going, they were shocked bc the car looked pretty damn good considering. It felt like a commercial honestly.

Thanks and they actually did. We settled on a newer Subaru Outback this time. I love it !!! The holidays are definitely going to be difficult and different this year but like you I truly hope we can get our shit together by Spring 

TY. They definitely are. Drove yesterday for the first time and I was definitely flinching at times. I also think your coming holiday plans sound lovely. And yes despite my family all being very social distanced, it still would have been 4 different households and 13 people. Way too many for us to feel comfortable. No…

TY. We were very lucky. And I’m sorry about the COVID Exposure. That’s rough. Hopefully your roommate doesn’t have it at least 

Yes indeed it did ! Although they were small portions, that many dishes sounds very filling. The ship also had an ala carte restaurant whom many preferred to the normal dinner course. Also that is some nice bread !!! I am always in envy of fresh baked bread I just need to do it again but my days seem so full lately.…

Aw. Congratulations 

Quiet week for us since the accident. Grateful we walked away with just bumps & bruises. Cars are replaceable but not humans. Especially tiny humans. That said, the insurance company totaled the Subaru. It had pillar damage and floor crumbling on top of all the panel & bumper damage. Getting hit at 70+ will do that…

Ahhhhh ... I saw this awhile back !!! Have been totally obsessed with anything Titanic since I was little when Ballard discovered her in 85.

Good point ! Didn’t really think of that but honestly it’s a good idea. Probably needed. Wide awake thinking about the whole thing. And when I close my eyes I just see the road squirming all over the place and cars flying.

Truly. I am just wide awake atp thinking about it now that all the adrenaline has worn off. Thank god for a well made car and child car seats. 

I think I’m going to in the morning. Everyone is asleep atp soooo I don’t want to make a fuss or wake anyone up. But if it gets worse I’m calling a cab as my back & leg are definitely feeling worse than earlier. The soreness in my arms from gripping the wheel and wrestling with it don’t concern me but the leg pain…

He drove himself into a ditch by going through the guardrail on the opposite side of the highway. Than just decided to walk down the parkway casually like nothing happened. Totally ignoring the 3 smashed to bit cars and the screaming child. The Troopers scooped him up pretty darn fast luckily. I’m still in disbelief…

Yup. Definitely get out on those daily walks. I started years ago and it’s the best thing I ever did for myself. And now it’s especially important for the vitamin D and the benefits of being outside after all the craziness of this Pandemic 

Yes !!! Congratulations to you both. I am so happy to read that you guys have landed abs found your what sounds like your true home.  Enjoy !!! 

OMGosh he is sooooo handsome. He reminds me of my brindle boy I had 

I swear sometimes you just know. For some reason I moved over to the far right lane early even though I probably had 2-3 miles for my exit. I’m not sure how it would have panned out if I had been in the middle lane honestly

Yes definitely. Lots of movies today and snuggles after hot showers and some Tylenol for us both. We’ve ordered food from our local German butcher for the next few days. Plus had pizza for dinner tonight to keep it easy. And to boot, my husband built a little fire in our fire pit now that the tiny human is asleep

They really are. I could not believe how good of shape the car was in for the multiple hits we took. I mean every door is crunched in and both back & front bumper are damaged but that car rocked today. It was absolutely solid and I will definitely buy another one
