I feel like this is a great reminder that you can only really change what you can control. Live your life with your values. Get a job that makes you feel worthwhile if you can. Spend time with friends in real life and online who live the same life as you.
Volunteer at local events and make where you live as best as you can. Focus on local politics and issues since you can control them more. Go out and make the world you want
Layers are the key. Lots of small layers especially something sweat wicking on the bottom layers. It’s good to have lots of layers to add and subtract
If you have a few trees you can just mow over the leaves right on the lawn which breaks them up enough for your fall fertilizer if you don’t have a use for them. The last few years I’ve been using mine to compost in place my gardens. Haven’t had to bag since
Flip the Pool!!! Flip the Pool!!!
It seems like you have a lack of appreciation both at work and at home. Asking for compliments from your wife would help this with your new transition. I would suggest you start with thanking her for taking these responsibilities beforehand and ask if you can get it back in return. Gratitude goes both ways and is infectious. Start with thanking her and see if she does it back if you are feeling like you can’t ask.
See if you can get some appreciate at work by asking for it from your manager or anyone else. This is more difficult since people are pretty thankless in their jobs as well. Similar tactics of thanks others might get you thanks at work.
Dealing with the lack of thanks and gratitude is a complicated emotion to deal with. You will need to talk about it with the people who matter in your life. Some thanklessness is part of any job as well as being a parent and partner. But you should be able to ask for it and be appreciate it. I know I need lot more appreciation from my personal life if I am not getting it from my job.
Ah aristocratic English man. What haven’t you made terrible
It really seems like your job is a huge part of this problem. She has exciting new role energy for her job which has coordinate with her old job giving her praise. You on the other hand seem to be in a job that you either hate or don’t like very much. You are jealous of what she has with her new role.
I am going through the exact same thing with my job and my spouses job. She has an emotionally demanding helping profession job which is draining emotionally but she is great at it, loves her coworkers, has autonomy and does something useful for the world everyday. My job while much higher paying is a high stress and yet boring corporate job in which I get little praise and high complaints. I have been so jealous of her when she talks about work even when she is complaining. We have talked this through and I am going to find something better for myself but I understand the jealousy. I am both proud of what she does and jealous that it isn’t me. Relationships are complicated like that and you need to understand each portion of it.
You seem frustrated about the additional emotional labor and reasonability you are getting from her new job. This is highlighting how much emotional labor you have to put with at your job which you can’t give to your home life and family. It is exhausting putting on fake and false face for your job. This need to hide everything at work and its getting you in the habit to hide at home. Look for a new job and talk with your wife about how her new job is bringing up these complicated feelings about your role. You got this but need to talk it out
I wouldn’t go that far but for presidential politics yes. Local you can dream big
Sounds like a terrible thing. Lets get rid of it
Make it 100% if its over $1K. Since most real requests shouldn’t be that much at all.
Exactly. These requests are used to slow down everything and make public schools worse for their own political gain. They go against the spirits of these laws.
While I really enjoyed the article it keep claiming that all Neo-pagans / Witches are Wiccans. Wiccans is a specific subset of those who would claim the label of Neo-pagans / Witches.
However, I do suggest anyone who is interested to check out the Pagan Pride festival each fall. I went for the first time this year around Minnehaha and learned a lot of very interesting things. Also they have the best crafts and art. Moreover, the local metaphysical supply stores around town are cool to go to. Just to see what they have to offer
Always check both sides of the ballot and vote on everything.
This is an easy win and something that we should be doing. Investing in the environment is something we should all agree on. We all love the water here. Let’s protect it
What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn’t yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can’t get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn’t nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible
My house is decorated with either items from the antique store or from IKEA. There are reasons for both but you need to have unique and mass produced things. We have turned too much for the mass produced
Its fine to have free parking where there is space. There are less and less space so people might have to pay for parking but it should have people focus on none car options.
Bike parking is good for everyone. Also super easy to do
Removing parking minimums from new construction is a great method to slowly remove parking as a need to happen. This gives a great quick turn solution with a longer legs since only “needed” parking will be added as the surplus decreases.
I do feel that reduce car use requires both removing of incentives to drive (like free unlimited parked as an assumption) as well as adding other transit options. I know personally that if I know parking is going to be bad I start considering all my options since driving is such a default option. We need it both ways. Especially since adding more transit options are not going to be built unless people use them. People will use them if they have to which brings pressure to make more and better options. This works best when the people who need to use them are affluent and powerful. We need both
Its not even carbonated. I bought it thinking that carbonated coconut water would be awesome. It is not but tastes pretty good.
The federal government is going to be gutted and destroyed. It’s time to focus on local change. Nationwide isn’t going to work for a while but focus on your city, your state, your block and your house. Live your values everywhere. Focus your attention on what matters and can be controlled
