We are touring a rental house tomorrow and I really hope they accept us bc I am so over living in the townhouse and the weirdly noisy neighbors in 603.

Yes!
I really like the idea of renting it out to someone or a couple that wouldn't mind listening to toddler shenanigans.

Oh big hugs.
Is there anyone you trust that lives near you that can be this person?

I don't live anywhere near you, but if you ever need a gut check on health things you can always dm me. 💜

Oh FOR SURE!

OR we keep it and put our personal offices over there and make a guest space.

With S being an adorable menace, I think I would be leaning towards our last idea if we ended up buying a house. 💀
Mama just needs a break behind closed doors.

When A and I were looking to buy, we found a duplex similar to my example and within our budget. We would either rent it out as an apartment or a Remote Work/WFH but away from kid chaos office. I could attempt to resurrect my daycare.

For funsies:
If you bought a duplex (1k ft² - 2 bed, 2 bath, detached garage, and basement), what would you do with the other half?
Budget is moderate lifestyle/moderate income.
Or unlimited, but it better not be lame 😂

Amazing 🤩

Me every time a pane of glass breaks bc they're doing it wrong.

Not me yelling at the TV bc the dingdongs on the home renovation show don't know how to cut glass properly.

For those who don't know the lore, I did photo framing for 6 years in various positions.

I just tried muting it with the remote 😭

The weather people have been saying that there will be severe storms tomorrow. I guess now is the time to charge all electronics, download all the shows, and put our bug out bags in the basement.

Change your staring, mouthless infant.

These damn toys should really come with a whisper option instead of the options of yelling and YELLING 😭
It's not even 11am and I'm so overstimulated.

Noisey toys should really

Hello!
Lol at me for struggling to remember my main twitter handle. VoidIceQueen? Anywhooo it's Emi.

Am I delulu in thinking that my art will make it into a gallery? Probably, but that won't stop me.

And this series is basically me unpacking a whole lot of (medical/fertility) trauma from the past 7ish years (mostly since 2023 though)

Man, I missed doing this.
Now to figure out how to do this without pissing off S (he wants to help)

2025 was the year that the Rock Collectors became sober (my sil also had a big medical crisis last year)

Idk why, but it's so weird explaining that I'm sober to people who I haven't seen in a while. Being sober was equally thrust upon me and I made the decision myself.
My insides are too angry to handle alcohol. 💀

We're forced to conclude that the convent must have taught Maria how to do marionettes

So my Dexcom goes off, nbd, I knew I was approaching a low and already had a juice box. My Dexcom just needs to be patient. BUT that doesn't stop my toddler from running to me to check on me.
Who needs a diabetic assistance dog when you accidentally train your toddler. 💀

president baby went too long without his ipad time

It sucks so much. I think the weather has become a bigger contributing factor than before. A terrible thing when you live in the Midwest and it's whiplash temperature season 🤪

You know what's worse than a toddler feeling crummy and is very clingy? An autoimmune flare up day with a toddler that feels crummy and is clingy

These are the only songs that I could think of when S came home from the NICU. We were sleep deprived and S had awful colic/witching HOURS.

Anyways. Back to bed. He's finally zonked out.

Reporting live from The Glider
Local mom goes through her whole repertoire of bedtime songs to calm down her toddler who woke up scared. She sang the classics:
San Miguel - Ron Pope
Black Parade - MCR
Secret Tunnel - ATLA
Doe a Deer - Sound of Music

When you want to visit your mom, but your asshole dad is also home, so you gotta hype up yourself.

The toddler is a sleeper agent. All I have to do is sing Secret Tunnel* and S will finally settle in for a nap.

*It was the only song I could think of when S came home from the NICU and I was very sleep deprived. S had bad colic/gassy tummy and would just cry from 7pm until he wore himself out 😭
