Good Things Friday (237) and Link Love
1. Somehow Friday got ahead of me again. Having a Monday off has kept me off my stride all week. I hope your weekend is great!

1. Well I guess this week going by in a blur means it ended “faster” which is good? I guess?

I wish I remembered the good thing that I accidentally deleted from here because I have SUCH a headache now from a whole week of working on forcing school admin to do ANYTHING about a kid bullying my kid that I can’t remember anything good right now.

Good Things Friday (234) and Link Love
1. I made a good decision to not stress myself out trying to do ALL THE THINGS one day this week and it worked out really well. I didn’t end the day hating everything.
2. Past Me froze an apple pie and Present Me got to eat it. Excellent decisions!
Helping folks:My friend Quiara lives on a low fixed income and recently got the bad news that not only won’t SSA cover her insurance premium this year, they’re making this decision retroactively. I don’t know where they think she’s going to conjure that money from but if you can, Help Q survive the year?

1. Self pats on the back for having bought medium and large size pants for JB from Lands End when they were on sale, a couple years ago. I pulled them out of the storage bin today and figured out which ones fit better for this school year and organized the next size ups into another container. Easy peasy and hardly any shopping needed. I’m lucky they still generally like the same things two years on. Won’t be that easy in a few, I suspect.

Good Things Friday (232) and Link Love
1. We had long visits with a much missed friend this week (which kept me so busy, ironically, I didn’t get to add this item until they left).
Helping folks: This GoFundMe to help a family after a devastating fire has stalled. Perhaps we can help a bit?

- I can’t remember if I posted this so I am posting now: JB’s Spotted Friends Collection is live! They’re dreaming up new themes, and experimenting with more art.
2. I’d been waffling about on the idea of selling my old phone after I upgraded last year. It still works, the battery was just degraded to the point of requiring two or three charging sessions a day with my heavy use and shutting off at 33% power. But! I found a use for it! JB can use it to read books on Libby and play games on the PBS kids app.
