I suppose she could do something else, somewhere else if she wanted or needed to. I was a transfer student, after all. I meant to say I hope she had the adventure she wanted.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Living in the dorms seems like a good idea. I hope the whole thing goes well for her!

She's just had a taste of Living Away, at least. Transition to college is hard enough, so this may be the choice that works best for her.
I do wish she'd have considered something Boston-ish like Tufts or Emerson, oh well. At least she's not going to Texas...

I very much want to see Bill and Ted Wait for Godot but I I just looked at ticket prices and remembered there would also be travel and lodging and I don't think I can do it. Somebody should, though

Thrive to spite them
Hopefully being in a familiar area but having The College Experience and living on campus will help her with her depression and grief and help her get ready to fly further from home.
Mom has been taking Ozempic but hasn't lost much weight. She has moved from eating out a lot and snacking to getting Hello Fresh (I think) meals that come with everything chopped up so she can do "assembly cooking" and those should be healthier.
I called Dad yesterday and he said he noticed I looked fitter. What he actually told mom was even though I'm still heavy he could see I'm getting fitter/more muscular. Dad has body image issues and weight issues and while he has never directly said anything to me about my weight I've heard how he talks about people. But those are his issues and not mine so I don't really think about it . He only ever says nice things about my appearance and with all my dad's faults I am really grateful about that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, hey, I’m on the Tumblr radar!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I am dying without ibuprofen. I knew my body was a crumbling horror, but I didn’t know it was being kept alive solely through the power of ibuprofen. Tylenol is a placebo scam.

I'm sorry, Tep. Maybe try a different placebo? Sugar? Singing the blues?

Steph are you allowed naproxen? Or aspirin (guessing no for blood thinning reasons)? Or only Tylenol? Good luck?
