Finally visited Wegman’s
I finally visited the Wegman’s location closest to me, in Medford, MA. Oh how I love this store! I will be going there again definitely though I’d like to check out the Burlington, MA, location next as people have told me it is bigger and even better. I found the quality so much better than Whole Foods which has really gone downhill. Plus, it feels good to support a family-owned store. So, from now on I’ll be shopping Market Basket & Wegman’s vs. Market Basket & Whole Foods.
Anyone getting this storm? Woowee it's a good one!

mass.govCondor airlines carry on
I am flying from out of BOS Logan internationally on condor airlines. I have been reading their carry on policy and seems like a carry on must not exceed 8kg which is nearly impossible to do. Has anyone flown out of Logan with condor air? Did they actually weigh your carry on bag?
$99 cup of coffee at Cumby’s?
I don’t know if it’s inflation or dubious “Dubai coffee” but $99 is too rich for me!! 😂 Or maybe their fiver graphic designer in a faraway land is not used to using the ¢ symbol.

independent.co.ukSerious Storms
Here in Boylston we just got clobbered with the most intense t-storm. Started about 5pm and the worst part was around 5:45pm. I counted 4 strikes within 1/3 mile of me within 5 minutes and for about 10 seconds I couldn't see through the rain 50 yds outside my window. Watch out east!

I can’t afford anything
It’s starting to get worse and worse and I feel like if I don’t figure out a high income career fast im headed for real tough times in the future (homelessness) I have a 2 year old and this is just not an option for me but what do I do ? I’m a phlebotomist and make 22$ an hour, not enough. I dont have a car so everything is so much harder , getting to appointments , getting groceries , I lost my daycare voucher because the daycare that provided it was not accessible by public transport. This or I am spending money i don’t have on Ubers to get to and from appointments for my son and I. it just seems like I am stuck in a financial hole and I just do not know how to get myself out. I want to be financially free but this has been such a difficult/ unattainable journey with the minimal support that I have and these high prices . I am definitely moving out of Massachusetts to the south once I actually have the means to do so but for now I feel like I’m drowning.
Im not good at school is a fair thing to mention as well I have a learning disability so as far as careers that involve serious math / science I just don’t understand it or need support to understand (my dream is to become a nurse I don’t want to tell myself i cant do it or give up but for now I need something immediate with minimal schooling)
