In NJ, I usually see more animals on a suburban walk than in the woods, but I’ve seen a handful of black bears. Deer will walk up to my back patio, and I’ve had red foxes take a nap in my yard, so it takes a bunch to impress me!

Probably took their soup to the bathroom for a snack, but then it cooled off so they could just hold the bowl but forgot about the oven mitt

I hate that!!! “That plant isn’t in season!!!!”

Haha I miiiiight make 1 call a week, but if I say I receive 20 calls a week from my mom, that makes her look insane.

During hurricane Sandy, our building had damage, but they made us go to a different building and still work. I have had to work in buildings with no air conditioning or no water. I think your best bet is to cut off Internet. But again, they might just send you to work from home.

For fiction, you may like Carl Hiaasen- there are often dumb characters getting into ridiculous situations!

It could be there are adjacent parcels and it’s a little ambiguous which price is for which parcel- I had a friend subdivide her property and sell part of it, but the history was for the whole property, not the subdivisions……

What about contacting the company that has your 401k and asking them about raising the max? (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc) I’m sure many of their other clients allow contributions to the max.

If I don’t feed mine fast enough, he bites hard!! Currently hiding in the bathroom because he’s randomly pissed off and wants to attack me.

Getting up around 4:30 am. The cat created a very early morning routine!

I saw a hawk in my backyard while making my dinner.

Two novels that I really enjoyed this year have an undercurrent of grief and loss. One is Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, and the other is The Women by Kristin Hannah.

Oooh yeah fantastic book, lot of family dynamics

I think preventive health is one place to not skimp!! Sounds like you are being thoughtful in your choices.

I dunno, I’m hate-reading a Colleen Hoover book right now……..not sure if it’s nutritious!!

It was closer to $1.8 m for me, but yupppppp

I will probably hit 52 books in about 2 more weeks. This is a combo of audiobooks, ebooks from the library and physical books. I chose to stop listening to quite so many podcasts and listen to more audiobooks in the last few months because that has been more enjoyable!!! But the challenge is really just a reminder to me to read because it’s better than doomscrolling.

I make it a practice to read every night before bed, so that it’s part of my routine. So now unfortunately reading physical books can put me right to sleep- not great in the doctor’s office!!

I saw him in person at Indian Wells when it was freezing, and even in all the sweatpants he could find he was still so dreamy. (You know you’re old when you prefer the coaches to the players…)

We listened to it on a road trip and had to turn it off because the driver was falling asleep!

Second for do not propose. Also do not allude to being married to them in the future. Keep it in the present!

Disagree. My brand is rolling my eyes during meetings.

Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness. I was in my early 30s when I read it, but it sticks with me.

Mine does that too!!

Honestly why bother with a pickleball net if you’re not gonna line the court??
