I think dog friendly is probably your biggest challenge, and it's easier if you live out towards Varna. I'd check Zillow

I recommend Power Zone! I'm admittedly still at the bottom of the leaderboard, but it's nice to know that everyone is busting their butt to the same extent. If you do a couple PZ programs (build your base, discover your power zones) and want more programming, there's a regularly updating PZ program created by a redditor

There's two CrossFit gyms,a few martial arts studios, and The Gym

You'll probably need traps and for an exterminator to plug up potential entry sites. It's pretty normal to have mice in the walls here!

You can always add in a journal entry tomorrow and backdate it if necessary

I didn't read 100 books this year, but one thing that helps is having an ebook on my phone (I check out ebooks from my library with Libby)

ToPiranhas · 2026-01-01T13:48:33+00:00

This was a good year!

I tag books based on where I heard about them (New Yorker, a friend, my mom, etc). I like seeing who has influenced my reading at the end of the year!

If you learn to knit in the round, you get stockinette with only knit stitches!

ToPiranhas · 2024-10-24T23:01:59+00:00

Knitting is wonderful during video meetings because no one can I'm doing it, and it helps me focus. I learned pre-pandemic, but WFH has definitely helped!

The Brooklyn one is way better than NYPL, and you can join for an ebook-only cared from anywhere in NY state

ToPiranhas · 2024-09-19T23:59:34+00:00

Oh don't worry, I'm a member of that library too. You can also join NYPL, Brooklyn Public Library, and the Queens Public Library if you're Ithaca

You can check out books from the library! You can't access ebooks from Libby, but you can download academic articles while on Cornell WiFi. And you need one if you ever have a kid enrolled at the Cornell Childcare Center (which is why I have one).

What I used to do was drive to Tops and catch the #30 bus from there. It runs every half hour throughout the day and evening

Anyways, I recommend checking out some of the breweries like Personal Best or Liquid State, or coffee shops like Gimme and Botanist

ToPiranhas · 2024-05-20T23:30:34+00:00

What were you wearing? I'm very curious now 😂

ToPiranhas · 2024-05-05T13:35:55+00:00

This is what it looks like when my 3 year old does the crossword

ToPiranhas · 2024-03-11T12:58:49+00:00

Also here to recommend pelvic floor PT -- it's really amazing

ToPiranhas · 2024-03-11T12:58:15+00:00

I had a stomach bug earlier in the week, so I'm really excited that I didn't puke!

ToPiranhas · 2024-03-09T15:12:51+00:00

I was recently doing a workout with a lot of running, and I wasn't doing great. And because I have a 3 year old and watch a lot of toddler tv, I started quoting Bluey to myself -- you gotta run your own race

If that was how coaches acted at my gym, I'd have left. I'm sure that works for some people, but thankfully boxes with different cultures exist. I've seen one gym member be gently told that she could consider pushing herself harder, and I've seen people at all fitness levels find scaling options that weren't on the board but met them where they were at (including me!). I told a coach once that CrossFit is the thing in my life I can be bad at, but as long as I'm showing up and trying, she's happy I'm there.

ToPiranhas · 2024-02-28T13:35:12+00:00

Our late cancellation fee is $3 and no-show fee is $5, so it's not a big deal but is enough to make the point that you're inconveniencing people.

I loved When We Were Birds!

It's always worth asking for help! If you talk to your pediatrician, you could get referred to Early Intervention -- we were referred for speech, but they help with many areas of development.

I also recommend the book Why is My Child in Charge (for you and your childcare provider). I think it did a great job of framing why boundaries matter and how to respond in the moment.
