Good Things Friday (170) and Link Love
May 27, 2022
1. We had an abundance of plastic containers from our Hello Fresh experiment days. While we had to recycle some to make space, I keep finding new uses for the remainder. Reusing perfectly good containers makes me very happy, as does finding that we have containers the exact right size for a thing I need.
2. Despite his own exhaustion, PiC took the kids out for a few hours on Saturday so I could rest and it was the best I felt all week. Not having to be up and parenting or talking was such a relief.
I am absolutely sick over the constant stream of horror that is life in America. This latest school shooting where the police did absolutely nothing to protect the children being slaughtered, for an HOUR, isn’t even a surprise. It’s heartbreaking and sickening but not a surprise. I hate all of this. I hate that we don’t take domestic violence seriously. I hate that we ignore the links between DV and eventual mass shootings. I hate that the NRA has a stranglehold on the politicians who could do something about this but definitely won’t.
Lost $50k On Paper (And I’m Doing Just Fine) We see reminders all the time not to panic when the market boogies. I am hoping this downturn is the one that helps us get to where we need to be sooner, rather than setting us back several steps like the Great Recession did for me.
