The wookie

From Mom: “You don’t deserve any praise for your good grades. You already speak the languages in those classes so it’s expected you do well.”

From Dad: “Why did you only get 99%?”

Context: I grew up in a household where we spoke many languages. In highschool I had an easy time getting good grades in all the foreign language lessons but struggled with Maths or Science classes. The parents couldn’t fathom I could have a failing grade because I didn’t need to study for some classes (which should have given me more time to study for other classes, amarit?).

My Introduction into the Bossa Nova Musical genre.

One week.

Was asked to be the community manager of an online casino. I couldn’t deal with the morality of trying to encourage people to keep gambling away money they didn’t have.

Boardgames tonight at my sister’s house. Mom’s visiting my house tomorrow evening to see our newly finished kitchen. We’re having Indian food. Excellent stuff happening.

Pumpkin soup and fresh sourdough bread.

Climbing around on the roof of our 2 floor house.

Sitting down in the shower and enjoying the hot water for too long…

Dungeons & Dragons with some friends at home. We’ve ordered donuts and will have loaded potato wedges with ribbs I’m the evening after they defeat the dragon I’ve got in store for them.

The Repair Shop show from the Uk. <3

Boardgame night at my sister’s house. She’s raising a family, I chose to live child-free. Those nights together allow her to just be an adult, not a parent, and allow me to hang out with my sister. It’s lovely.

It looks panicked…

Tell me more about those retirement benefits.
