Did not plan it this way, but I just looked it up and the last time I was here was exactly 10 years ago for my 26th birthday. Pinching myself that this is my life now.

@UPS @UPS I was on hold for 1 hr 22 minutes before the call abruptly disconnected.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@UPS My package (Tracking #1Z19078E0449372900) valued at €440.50 has cleared customs, but your system is demanding $1,347.80 in import duties. I’ve emailed and called brokerage for over a week with no response. Package is at risk of being returned Monday. Can someone escalate?

@simonsarris Post your butter chicken recipe! Everything I've tried doesn't taste as good as my local takeout. I suspect not enough butter? And/or my spices are stale? https://t.co/NgzIMjjQ8j is the best so far, but still not quite right.

Everyone was working this weekend.

@maiab Hahah I love my Buy Nothing group! You just need to try doing ISO posts and you'll be converted.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@ben_mathes Ahhhh plz jump in allll the lakes for me.
Off trail? What's the plan?

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@maiab Reminds me of this piece: https://t.co/ifHOClm2Sk

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@maiab Super weird! I had no idea that’s how it worked until I got pregnant. After a couple of visits I was like oooh so this place cares about me and this other place cares about the baby that just happens to be inside my body.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@maiab YAY! Congrats!

I've read and re-read your birth story more times than I care to admit. Anything you're planning on doing differently this time?

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@ben_mathes @simonsarris May I also suggest:
1. Good Inside: https://t.co/3YsJr32y40
2. Everyday Blessings: https://t.co/BSKVrxXH2G

Based on our one in-person interaction (while hiking Half Dome though, so I think that counts more?), I think you'll like both of these!

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@ben_mathes @simonsarris Yes! I listened to it, but I'd suggest a physical copy so you can skim the copious (hard to believe) stories and get to these summaries.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@simonsarris Haha that's very true about parenting books having 2-3 important points and lots of fluff to wade through. Could've been a brochure!

Still, I found this book helpful (and hopeful!) as I'm about to embark on this journey myself in December.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@simonsarris Have you read Hunt, Gather, Parent? https://t.co/Ymkck19YQn Lots about kids having an innate drive to be helpful and to be part of the family system there.

@made_in_cosmos If you maintain a sourdough starter, use this: https://t.co/1OnN8eKBoC Otherwise, this is a great one that uses commercial yeast: https://t.co/NKZx9BGbiv

@_amishap Ahh way to bury the lede! Congratulations, Amisha!! 💗

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@bobbins There’s another Rachel whose blog/Instagram is kind of that vibe. https://t.co/QwKqpFAKGr and https://t.co/bQGZOEJoZY Look at the Weeknights story highlights, especially.

[Olga Galchenko @OlgaGalchenko]

@isosteph Immediately no.
Calves, quads - sure. Ass was as flat as you can expect from running on a calorie deficit all summer.
