Unfortunately, it looks like my mother isn't going to be able to win her battle against MBC. She's put up a hell of a fight but cancer can be a relentless beast. I'm trying to do my best this week to adjust to this new reality so I can be strong and present for her as she transitions out of this life.

Got some hard news this weekend, I'm making self-care and grace my goals for this week, can't pour from an empty cup.

Appreciate the nuance! Also fully agree on the risk all new builds carry. I'm just salty because I spent all week arguing with them about the definition of the word façade lol

I can only speak for the Southern US but, developers want to build front-loaded units in subdivisions because they are more profitable. A rear-loaded garage costs a shit ton more in materials and labor, not to mention getting into impervious surface maximums vs lot size etc. I work in permitting/zoning, it's always money, always. Heads up, y'all, don't buy a D.R. Horton house if you can possibly avoid it, the more you know✨️

Creative, thoughtful, trustworthy.

Thank you for reminding us to celebrate ourselves!

She would be obsessed with my house, I totally had her in mind when buying it. She'd think I was insanely cool and hopefully feel a sense of relief that the way she feels at 15, while really difficult, won't last forever, there is a horizon. She also gets a massive hug from me, she did a tremendous job under heartbreaking circumstances.

This has been the defining struggle of my queer existence lol

It really is. It actually makes me sad. I'm the grown daughter of a father who sounds a lot like the person you responded to. I love my dad and it's a complicated relationship as he really doesn't think he's a misogynist, he truly believes he's just "telling it like it is."

It made me furious for years and now it deeply saddens me. He will never have the chance to truly know his daughter because he is literally incapable of seeing me as an equal in terms of basic humanity. And that is sad because I'm delightful and smart and wickedly funny when I'm comfortable with someone, he doesn't get to see the authentic version of his own offspring, what a loss...

Just last month, I left work early on a Thursday, met my now husband at the local courthouse, and we got married! Cost about $50 bucks. We're happy as clams about it, our families wanted us to do more but, that sounds like a them problem honestly lol

I do feel differently. Not more committed, I've long been ride or die with this human, but I get this sweet, sudden uprush of cozy emotions when I say, "my husband", or when he calls me "wife". I love him a lot and it makes me simultaneously very proud and very humble to declare that publicly.

I read it from the beginning every time hahaha

Random tidbits, I used to work in Cali for a developer and one of my coworkers there is a former partner of Tony. Oh my lord does that lady have stories from the years of 90's Warped Tours lol She made my time out there so much fun and I'm dying for her to write a book someday.

Left work early and got a haircut!
