romanticalSchool's back in session and my kids are adorable. I love them. I want to scream sometimes when I'm dealing with them, but that's to be expected.
bb!hockey is back! My favorite bb!hockey is at camp with the Ducks, but I gotta tell you, if he wears that Yankees hat again this year (instead of the Mariners one(s) I gave him), I'm going to pick a new favorite.
27 years of marriage. Kraken/Canucks prospect game. Savannah Bananas. Opening night with us coming back from 0-3 to win in a shoot-out thanks to a natural hat trick. I love my boys.
Today is the booster club audit, tomorrow is dinner with ex-coworkers and goodbye to one of them as she's moving away (rude), and then I'm flying to Colorado for my goddaughter's wedding. After that it's a preseason Kraken game, a Kraken 5k, and thanks I'm already exhausted. Actually, after that I'm reflooring my entryway and my kitchen. So, you know. Why not?
My "start doing some exercise every day" has sort of fallen by the wayside because of physical and mental work-exhaustion, but hopefully I'll get back into it. I have been walking a lot because of school, though, so there's something at least.
Anyway, sorry for sucking at posting. I still love and adore you all. Stay strong in the hellscape.

[NYTimes Social Q’s] My Husband and I Have No Idea About the Politics of Two New Friends
Sep. 17th, 2025 10:08 ammagid posting in agonyauntgift link (with three other questions answered)
My husband and I moved into an apartment complex recently. We befriended some of our new neighbors while sitting around the swimming pool. We have discussed politics with some of them, having been given hints that we are all on the same page. But one couple — whom we like a lot — has provided no information about their politics. We have no idea where they stand! The state of the country is very important to us, and we are willing to socialize only with people who support our beliefs. Should we continue to see this couple whose politics are a mystery, or should we tell them where we stand and see how they react?
