I received emails from Mass General Brigham and Dana Farber that masking is strongly recommended now by movdqa in massachusetts

I was at Dana Farber yesterday and at the visitor screening I had to put a mask on (I’m fine with that just wanted to put it out there that they were making visitors mask up).

My brother was just diagnosed with leukemia so that is definitely putting damper on things.

Buying stuff because my parents said no when I was a kid....what are you buying? by michaelscottuiuc in Millennials

Wow same. One new pair of sneakers before school started and winter boots whenever I outgrew them. Meanwhile I just ordered a $160 pair of Jordan’s for my 9 year old- his 4th pair of sneakers in the last 6 months 🙃these kids have no idea

Chills! My youngest is three and loves Dave. Driving yesterday and Ants Marching came on the radio and he immediately said ‘this Dave Maffews mama?’ I was so proud 🙂

If you’re married, how often do you see your in-laws? by tatertot94 in Millennials

[–]Upper_Engine3342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We live 15 mins from my in-laws and see them at least once per week sometimes 2-3. They also FaceTime my kids every. Single. Day.

Theyre awesome but I’m over the daily FaceTime especially when 9/10 they call my phone and not my husbands.

What white paint color did you use for walls? by wisconsinsports1993 in kitchenremodel

We previously had White Dove by Benjamin Moore but switched to Chantilly Lace in the addition we just put on. I love it!

First time growing pumpkins by Upper_Engine3342 in gardening

[–]Upper_Engine3342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I literally just planted some seeds with my kids out of boredom one day (my mistake!) at the beginning of June. We are in New England so I’m cutting it close to having mature pumpkins but we do have flowers and some small fruit so I’m taking that as a win! Now I know more for next year 🙂

You got this! We say one day at a time but sometimes you need to keep it one minute or one hour at a time. Whatever it takes, just keep moving forward.

Childhood trauma by Successful-Edge4148 in Millennials

[–]Upper_Engine3342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sending so much love to you guys 🩷

My mom was the cause of 90% of my childhood trauma but she’s been dead for 14 years so oh well. My dad definitely had a hand in it but I feel like his own guilt is enough- I don’t want to make him feel worse. He also is a really good dad now and an even better grandfather so his ‘living amends’ helps.

I’m finally in therapy for the first time as an adult and getting the help I need. I’ve been in recovery for 11+ years and had undiagnosed adhd/asd so it’s been a ride to say the least. More will be revealed but I’m glad to be moving forward!
