    Almost died on the freeway today. It’s raining and someone cut me off. I swerved in and out of three lanes of traffic. I think I grazed an 18 wheeler and there’s dent on my trunk. Nobody stopped, not even me. I hope that *kitten* saw that they almost killed me and anyone else that would have ran into my car at high speeds. I’m really lucky I think. I think not pressing the breaks saved me and that there wasn’t cars on the side of me when it happened.
    Now I just have to be at work and not cry. So far so good. People are laughing, the world is still turning.

    Yikes that's crazy scary. Glad you're ok
    Also glad you're okay. Some drivers can be so clueless...

    My glasses are metal, sort of a rose gold color.
    Light reflects off of the metal when I move my head and makes it look like I’m seeing something moving by me really fast.
    Freaked me out a little at first,
    I thought I kept seeing things that weren’t there.
    I like these glasses but I think I’ll get a different pair.

    If you close your eyes you won't see the reflection. Just saying :D

    I’m gonna be alone with the kids until Sunday. Gonna be a long, rough, lonely weekend starting today/tonight with stripe testing.
    Wish me luck.

    Why is still called “donating” plasma/blood in America when you get reimbursed for it?? Maybe they don’t wanna call it “selling” because that would sound weird…🤔

    I've never been compensated for donating blood. Unless you count the snack and juice afterwards...

    I've only done plasma here. Yeah, I don't think they pay for your blood. I think it might cross an ethical boundary and people might lie about their health/exposures for financial gain? Its all screened of course though. Still feels odd to get money donating plasma, its usually an altruistic act where I come from lol. I guess they are payign for your time since plasma donation takes considerable longer.

    You daddy's are so cute stressing over watching the kids 😂 You'll be fine, I promise. And if they drive you nuts just lock yourself in the bathroom for like 10 minutes to regain sanity, like all responsible moms do. Good luck on your testing too.

    Haha yeah I got the regular stuff down but I also have softball practice, a softball game, and a choir concert to shuffle them all off to. I did it before, I’ll do it now, and I’m sure I’ll do it again.
    Thanks you all for the well wishes. Halfway done with the day so we are making progress!

    1. My love life is so sad and I'm positive it's just going to progressively get worse until it's basically nonexistent. Lol, I've decided becoming the cool old artsy witch down the street is good enough for me.

    2. I need a vacation NOW NOOOOW 😩

    I placed an order for 3 to shirts from Etsy and the seller informed me she can't make the shirts until Monday because she doesn't work the weekends and today (Friday) is her parakeets 3rd birthday 🫤

    I have an issue with the multitude of times that the commercial for the game “Forge Of Empires” is shown on tv.
    What’s the deal man?
    Why are you pushing it so hard?
    I understand money, this is more than money, freaky.

    Apparently if you make TikTok videos and other videos using your voice on the internet AI now can take your voice and imitate it perfectly, inflections and all.
    Saw a story where a woman got a ransom call for her daughter, she talked to her….” Help mom, just do what they want”.
    Her daughter was fine at college, had no clue.

    Tomorrow I have to learn a kids program at 6 to perform at about 7:15. Should be interesting but I watched the kids and they need someone so I'm happy to help.

    One more show today and I'm ready for it to be done. I don't mind helping out but man I'm too old for doing all this 🤣. The skating itself isn't difficult, having to manage and wrangle kids is always exhausting.

    Deep breath... you've got this. (And then you have to go home and make a charcuterie platter and fancy desserts) 😁

    Haha I did that last night after the show. The last of my guests left at 1am.
    Today the in laws are coming.
    The kids are fun but when yours is a teen you forget how energetic 10 and under kids are. One girl is super chatty and has a teacher my son has so we have to discuss that every time I see her. Apparently my name is coach mom!!! 🤣

    There are so many issues with this site, at least I’m having these issues and have for a while now.

    Some of the photos and gifs load tiny on the community threads.

    The threads open at the top instead of at the latest post.

    Some threads won’t update at all.

    These are the ones I notice in the community.

    Because I pay,
    I expect things to get fixed quickly and work properly the majority of the time.
    I don’t think that’s unreasonable, especially considering the cost.

    That carbs may not be the devil but it sure doesn't take long for them to turn into the toxiest of toxic relationships that you have no desire to limit your time with and...damn...there goes my opening line when I get my head around this and inevitably post asking for tips. :)

    I’m 5 minutes from home and I’m sitting in my car in a parking lot because there’s a torrential downpour outside. Looks like I might be here for a while 🫤

    So happy to be done the ice show!!! My kiddies were awesome and my ladies were great and now I don't need to learn new programs on the fly.
