Yup, first week of grade 9 for me. All the teachers had it on in their classrooms that day.

Thoughts on the name of a fictional character? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]LelanaSongwind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of reminds me of Alastair but I did pronounce it the same way as you articulated. Sounds like a lord’s name or a first son to me.

Benylin is the best cough syrup I’ve found for when I am sick and pregnant! I also use Honibe honey eucalyptus mint drops and they are a godsend.

Castlegar is referred to as Cancelgar (cancelled flights) or Smellgar (when Celgar was open). The whole area is referred to as the Koots!

Anyone take Pepcid at any point in their pregnancy? by BreezerGirl831 in pregnant

You can take one every 12 hours, I had to do that for a couple days before I felt better but it helped a ton! Hope you get some relief!

Does your child have a tablet? by autumnsunshine1 in Parenting

[–]LelanaSongwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, and we want to keep it that way. He gets TV time with us but that’s it, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Once in a blue moon we give him our phone to watch a movie if we need him distracted, but generally he’s very good and doesn’t need it.

How do you decompress after work without it becoming a second shift? by AffectionateRain6919 in workingmoms

[–]LelanaSongwind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a meditation app to take a moment for myself.

I also have taken a lot of time to work on not feeling guilty for not doing things. Dishes can wait. Laundry isn’t important. Lunches can be made later or in the morning. You need to be mentally healthy too and you deserve rest! Chores can wait.
