Sparkles

Splitting chocolate.

House with a yard. One of the rooms is a sensory room. Quietly donate to causes of marginalized folks. Continue going to work.

So I passed a board cert last year. I treated studying like a job. Work hours/off hours/break times. Phone was away.

I love my job otherwise, lol. It’s just we cram all our planning and placements into one weekday. Which has its upsides and downsides.

Me, every Monday, in 7 hours of meetings

I have probably spent more this year because I want a certain person to look at me.

Front pocket if my pants come with any (they often don’t). Cardigan pocket otherwise.

Not really, I stop in and chat a bit on posts I find interesting. On Reddit I doomscrolled.

Yeah I used to do this with low budget frozen fishies when I was in college pulling long hours.

Do you know what she likes? I think a lot of “cool” ideas are presented here, however, remember she is still 6, and kids that age learn a lot through unstructured play.

Toys that have multiple ways to play with them, such as craft beading kits and doll houses are stimulating to the brain in more ways, and often preferred by children to circuit building kits, for example. The former is well within your price range, if she is crafty.

I get hit and screamed at a lot…just as a part of my job, and it doesn’t seem to phase me other than the mild inconveniences of injury. I’m sure my brain is a bit wonky. I do take summers off, and I get so bored.

Just aches and pains mainly in late thirties. Don’t stay too sick yet.

Found something one of my caseload kiddos lost and they were very happy.

That is really sweet and wholesome.

Roughly mid-thirties. Then the remorse sets in.

Oh yeah, it’s insanity and it can be so inexpensive and unfair. I finally found a wide tooth comb with the correct spacing and have settled on “once a week” for comb out, conditioning. I have nearly stopped washing with soap (just rinse).

Figuring out routine and products is nightmare. Then the voice “just do a blow out” wins. And it’s a week of frizz. Worse is getting compliments when it’s straight only.

I play sudoku, get distracted, rewind. Keeps me busy.

Similar educational and economic status and close in age. Essentially, financially independent and intelligent. However, my “single parent” status quite fairly keeps most people away. So I have given up.

Mine is finding a natural pause and kindly “Ah, darn, I have a (thing to do) but it’s been lovely chatting!”

I would like to meet the one that convinces me to ruin my curls every 3 months by straightening and give it a few stern words.
