OAD by choice simply bc I never felt the desire for another.

​

Kiddo is 15, finishing up his freshman year of high school. We have 3 more years of him before college and I don't even know how to think about it without panic crying. 3. THREE. JUST THREE FUCKING YEARS.

I know, I know, he'll be home in breaks, we will still have him, but omfg. How does anyone deal with this?

​

Every time I realize it's been a week+ since I've called my parents, I think about how I'll feel when he is gone and I don't hear from him daily. I don't know what to do with all of this.

​

We have a great life beyond just being Mom and Dad, and we have a great marriage. That's not worrying to me - that will be the easy part lol. Just the idea of kiddo being GONE in 3 years is killing me.

I'm dropping everything. I think I've dropped my phone 15 times in the last week. Knocked stuff off shelves.

I don't have numbness or weakness or anything like that, I just go to pick up my phone or my lipstick tube and just...drop it.

I dropped my eye cream in the bathroom last night, and my H said "OH FFS" and I got so pissed. I was like "IMAGINE BEING THE ONE WHO KEEPS RANDOMLY DROPPING SHIT, HMMMM????"

We are planning our itinerary for a trip in late July and would like to include one non-hiking day to give our bodies a rest. Any suggestions? Accommodations are in Columbia Falls/Whitefish area, and we will have a rental car so can drive to other locations.

Would love to plan/book in advance, knowing how busy things get!

They were good, but there isn't any tang from the discard (1/2 cup). It's a great way to use it up, but I was really hoping that there would be a little bit of the sourdough taste. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/sourdough-banana-bread-recipe

Has anyone been able to find rhubarb at grocery stores? Looking for it around Gaithersburg/Rockville/Potomac.
