@CarissasNewLife No debt other than 1 car payment and our mortgage. Another big 1 was moving closer to our families. I have Crohn's Disease and GAD do being in a manageable place with my health was important.
All future parents, learn from my mistake - never get your baby into the habit of sleeping with motion.
The transition to a crib from a swing is a nightmare.
Great Christmas movies should have:
1. An elderly white-bearded man
2. Elves with gifts
3. Snow
4. Evergreen trees
5. Singing with friends
6. Selfless Love
That's why the best Christmas movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

As a black woman on a national science show, I intentionally wear braids and my curly Afro to normalize black hair in stem. In this pic, Iβm wearing cornrows to study plants being sent to space at NASA.
I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.
Chronic illness is waking up everyday with symptoms that'd send others straight to the emergency room, but instead of going there, going through days in pain trying to build a living. So people say "well it can't be that bad". It can. We just can't go to ER every time it is.
This man was forced to give his dog to the Humane Society due to undergoing lengthy hospital stay. This nurse found out and immediately went to the shelter and adopted his dog. She brings him to visit daily and will return him as soon as the man is released!
The number one best tip I have for anyone dealing with chronic illness is to make your health binder.
Iβm waiting in the lobby at urgent care, and I swear, even when the intake nurses see it, they treat me so differently.
