Thank you! She only fusses when she’s hungry; otherwise, no crying. I told my daughter that she’s so good now, just wait until she’s a teenager. ;)
And I’m sure that new teacher will remember your kindness for the rest of his/her career. 

Thank you - I can’t get over how adorable she is. Usually newborns look like unwashed fruit, but she is really cute. And yes - the nearly $20K raise is good for the next 3 years until my team wins another grant! :) 

Oh, I can just visualize your vacation - how wonderful! I’m so glad you got to take that sister time out in nature! :) (and the jacuzzi!)

WOW! Those are some major accomplishments! So glad you got rid of the riffraff and have a space to call your own and a pupper to share it with. Sounds like a whole lotta win!

Archie: “Why is the stroller tooting?” 

Thank you! She’s REALLY chill, and that in itself is wonderfully soothing!

I would say something if it will at least make you feel a little better about standing up for addicts. If it will taint your working relationship, then just say something the next time the subject comes up and she continues to be ignorant and flippant about addiction. I work with a pregnancy/post-partum rehab and…

Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective. I appreciate you expressing how she made you feel with her silence, and it’s a great reminder for us to boost our allyship.

Oh, LORD, it’s been a minute! It’s time for a feel-good thread! I’d love for you to share the good things you’ve done and/or your achievements in the past few months (gulp!) so we can brag on you and celebrate you. I’ve missed all of your stories and accomplishments!

Thank you. It’s been a shit road sometimes at this university, but the people I work with are literally salt of the earth-type folks. So happy to breathe easier for the next 3-4 years!

Thank you! They are really good boys and get on like a house on fire. Mr.TARDIS’ best friend lives in a Denver suburb, so we will probably get in some skiing with his family and it will be nice to see the changes there as we haven’t visited in a handful of years. Celine is gone, which is a shame as I would’ve loved to…

They are really good boys. <3

Thank you! Am happy to breathe easier for a bit.

Thank you! Milo is 5.5 months and let me tell you - Archie sleeps HEAVY when we come home from Grandma’s! There’s a lot of latent energy on that sofa.

Thank you - we were certainly relieved that he has a clean bill of health. No, it is a grant position, so it definitely has an expiration date. However, it does keep me in the loop in case any good faculty positions come up in the next 3-4 years.

Thank you!

Thank you! That was really kind of you to let someone in ahead. I’m sure that made their night.

Thank you! A few more years of reprieve while I wait for a sweeter permanent position to open up.

Thank you!
