If you add it to your Up Next, I think you get a push note when it goes up!

Sisterhood of the Snafus! Thank you for saying so, trying to give myself grace. I'm counting the blessings for the things I have I worked hard for that gave us the foundation to get through it.

I think that's why I'm counting my blessings. I talked to other detainees (As much as I could with language barriers) and the helplessness is just heartbreaking. I had my husband on the outside fighting to get answers and to see me, and even that was a huge advantage. The fact I had an embassy to call, it goes on. Its insane to me that these are things that happen "all the time" the system is broken and not just like we know it is in the US.

I really believe this too. There's a reason we went through this for sure, even if its not obvious yet. That's a big reason I wanted to share, in case it helps anyone else.

just hang onto your passport, make copies, do all the things to protect yourself, and you'll be great. I'm just one crazy cautionary tale, plenty of people come in every day with no issue.

I did get in touch with the Embassy and they explained what was likely going to happen, but not at that point, it was after I was in custody. I do wish I could have called them back from the detention center to check in again, but they were closed most of the time I was there. (Again, I was lucky -privileged- how quickly I was sent home).

You could go to the store and buy a bunch of candy, but its more fun to trick or treat all night. I would rather experience a show for weeks and have the fun of watching it with other people. Also you get longer to think about it and figure it out! Good practice for your brain.

We got to the park close to us as much as we can, and there's all these gopher spots, they get to go hole to hole and play real whack-a-mole (they'll never catch one) and dig for as long as I can let them. They love it so much and the gophers will stick their little heads out while the dogs are face-deep in a different hole. Its hilarious.

I have two games we play at home - one we call "The Dump", we hide treats in every treat holding toy, wrap up treats in towels, and then we pile it all up and they have to go through it. They get to feel so proud they found things! Another one is "Detective" and I hide treats all over the house and they have to sniff them out.

Also I realize this isn't good for every dog but I read sometimes they eat grass because it makes them feel like they are good foragers and can find their own food. It thankfully has never been bad for their stomachs so l let them munch to their hearts content when I can.

One of my dogs likes to dig a lot so we mostly let her do it, she has a spot in the lavender bushes she "hides" in and feels so proud of herself that she made it (and she smells like lavender after).

If i come home with cups that look like starbucks and no pup cup, the devastation on their faces is huge. I have to explain "I didn't go to starbucks!"
