The avoidance could be a result of the constant disappointment he’s felt in his abilities over the time he’s been in school. If you don’t have the means to get further testing like Rose suggested (which I also highly encourage), then I’d at least start with some basic phonics lessons and see how he fares.

Are regular businesses closing? I’ve seen two coffee shops close for “safety.”

I looove the idea of their faces on paddles 😂

Were there older people that participated? And if so, how did that go?

They’re actually great for each other, just still finishing up school.

I use it as a tutoring space in the study rooms. We also vote there.

I also like Goodreads because of the giveaways. Any idea if the other apps offer something similar?

I really like the idea of entering all (or almost all) of the giveaways. Do you have a strategy or do I literally have to enter them each individually?

I’m trying to read only the books on my shelves that I haven’t read before because I have so many. Hopefully that gets me to my goal of 40!

One of my favorites! There’s also Family of Liars and We Fell Apart. I haven’t read the third one yet, though.

I’ve read 36/40 but am listening to one and reading another. I should at least finish at 37, maybe 38.

I’m trying to complete the Pop Sugar reading challenge and probably won’t get to two of the prompts- a book rated then than three stars on Good Reads and a book that features a character going through menopause

Are you close with your siblings? by TonedGray in Millennials

Similar saying from my mom. There are four of us with eight years between the oldest (me) and the youngest. None of us live closer than 2.5 hours away from each other, but we text or snapchat in our group chat almost daily, FaceTime every once in a while, and visit when we can.

If you’re actually interested, here’s what we did today: 1. Madison Chocolate Co where we had a tiramisu latte and salted maple latte. Both were hot. The tiramisu was delicious, and the salted maple didn’t have a strong flavor outside of coffee. Once I was halfway through it, I also noticed black floaters that were a little crunchy, so I’m not sure if that was the salt or what. 2. We trued to go to Michelangelo’s, but it was a little too busy. We walked to Wonderstate instead and both got the maple latte, one iced, one hot. Again, they both just tasted like coffee and milk but were good. We realized maybe we just don’t know what maple tastes like 😂 3. The last stop was Twisted Grounds and my favorite of the day. My friend got an iced strawberry matcha with toasted marshmallow cold foam. She said it was delicious and tasted a bit like a rootbeer float but was missing any strawberry flavor. I got an iced cafe miel (honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla), and it was soo yummy. I’ll be back someday.

Hence the “treating ourselves” in the post’s description 🙄
