Much love to your family Plei and to your mom Erika.
I'm sorry about the empty nest Hec but I'm glad you are reconnecting.
I'm being very adult and after 2 years I have a dental appointment. I kept getting sick when I had scheduled my appointment and had to reschedule. And then hurricane happened and I drive back to Brevard. Because so far every single person I've talked to has been like "we are so glad to see you , we are glad you came in" and no shame.
The non adult thing I did was go to the toy store with M and I got some mini winnie unicorn blind bags, squeed over these really cute stuffed animals and a miniature DiY unicorn terrarium kit.
Now im not getting my teeth cleaned today because I need a deep scaling thing done.. but they are of course really nice about it
Also Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. We were walking from where we are lunch to the toy store and I saw the news on my phone and told M the news. A guy who was sitting on a bench laughed and said what ? So i told him and he was like " good for them!"
