Been a while again.

Brother is living with me now and life is so full. I love seeing my nieces and nephew this often. My heart feels all the gooey gross heart warming things. And also, my God am I tired. 3 kids!!! How the heck do you parents do it? I thought I was tired when I was Lilly's mom. This is something else. On top of school. But I love it and I'm so glad for it ❤️ I know it will just be for a season.

Eric: No. I don't think it's like that. If I get the things, that means that I get the things.

Me: But you could have the things AND have someone else make them for you.

Eric: Could I?

Me: Yeah, like, if I did it.

Eric: Would *yoouu* do it? Would YOU go to the store so we could have the thing?

Me: ....well....no. I'd make something weird and random from the cupboard because I hate going to the store.

Eric: See? So if I go to the store, I get to have the thing I wanted. And you benefit as well.

Me: Oh........... So it's because I'm a trash panda.

Eric: Yes. You are a trash panda. I am not a slave.

She stuck her wet nose in my ear like a big ol jerk.

But she's been a good cuddle buddy with Eric is out of town with his gf. So 🙄 I guess I forgive her.

I like this picture and I want it to exist somewhere 🥰

I haven't posted in a hot second. Took a break from all social media for a monthly challenge and then kinda got out of the habit of browsing. Not that I'm on social media much to begin with, other than YouTube. But, here's my life update:

Doing pretty ok 😎 school is a beast as usual, but I'm feeling pretty optimistic about life in general these days. Got a trip with the constellation going to Belize which I'm really excited about. That's in September. Girlfriend and I are still going strong too 🥰 I like her a lot. She's neat.

Had to call the police on some guy who got up in my lab partners face and threatened to follow her home to hurt her. 🙄 Absolutely wild. And because she was talking in the library. We were in an area where we could talk, and also we were speaking in hushed tones. Honestly I think he just pegged us as liberals from some conversation we had. That's when he got mad at us too, when certain political topics were brought up. (Some boys in her class she feels are sexist). Dude had been reading the news. Anyway, after he yelled at her in the library he waited for her out in the parking lot. Got in her face and said he'd follow her home and hurt her and how would she feel about being loud in a library then? Nut job. I called the police (surprise, surprise, they told me they don't plan on doing anything since he didn't have a weapon). And then he left. He was an older man and my lab partner looks like she's 19. Absolutely wild.

Hello, Tumblr.

I've been doing a lot better. Got into counseling after my mom died and it's helped a ton. What a paradigm shift to have a parent die... I still consider my grandma to have been my actual mom, but my mom was not nothing. I think it's really brought my brother and I closer and I love that 🥹❤️ he's one of my favorite people.

I still have my girlfriend 🥰 and Eric 🥰 Still going to college and find myself blown away at how the rules of the universe work. Still wanting to own another coffee shop. (Currently looking into buying one, so, wish us luck) Still madly in love with music. Whenever one of you guys post a song, I immediately go check it out, just so you know.
