  • My wife really likes her kobo aura (edition 2?). She was and is using it with overdrive and a library card. During Covid we had applied for cards from multiple counties to have more holds. Switching from card to card was annoying. I have recently started collecting an ebook library, starting with her overdrive wishlist. I use calibre to load the books, and that’s been great

    I bought her a Kobo Clara BW for this Christmas, and I plan on adding our library to it and setting up the library cards before I wrap it

  • My wife survived. She went away to college as far away as she could (where we met). Currently we are estranged from all of her family except her oldest brother, who is also estranged from the others (though he himself is in contact, but very low contact and grey rocking). She gave them a lot longer to try to change post college than they deserved, but they won’t, and you can’t make them. We tried having a relationship with her aunt, but she ended up being a flying monkey, nothing egregious against up, but something super egregious against the oldest brothers family.

    I’m really proud of my wife and her oldest brother, they’re cycle breakers. Therapy is immensely helpful for processing trauma and for developing skills to handle it and the time after. It bears to keep in mind that the skills that help you survive , aren’t the same that help you thrive. When you escape the situation you will need to shed some of those defenses to allow yourself to grow. Closing yourself off will help you navigate life under a narcissist’s roof, but will make it more difficult to build relationships with others.

    Trying to build up a support system outside of the narcissists would be helpful if you can. My wife did the work herself, but was aided by having me as a solid support for her to work off of (and me with her for my own mental health struggles (adhd))

    I’d also say it was a long road, through our 20s we stayed in contact with them, and that was fairly rough. They’d just keep up the same behaviors and try to pull us back in. We finally cut them off in our early 30s, and the growth and healing has really accelerated since then. We are much happier now, and not having to waste energy on them allows us to devote energy to other issues/things. My wife’s career has taken off since, she’s gotten a cpap (if you have sleep apnea you NEED one of these), and my wife went from not wanting children because of the trauma of childhood, to us now having two amazing daughters

    On the college side look into any grants or scholarships you can get for academic success or disability. My wife got virtually no assistance from her family (hell they told her they’d get her books and then after graduating said oh by the way here’s your debt from that)

    Sorry if this was pretty disjointed, adhd and I was semi watching a toddler. Also look into getting an America the beautiful pass for disability. It is for life, is free (shipping cost if you order online or in mail), and gives access to all national parks, forests, and blm land. No paperwork was needed when I got mine, just read a statement and sign that it applies to you

    You can do this!

  • lol

    At least when I worked retail it was at chocolate world, so just candy related songs (or Xmas), and then macys, so poppier than I’d normally listen to (and again, Xmas)

  • Love me some Jellyfin. I was yesterday days old when I finally read some documentation and learned that my metadata issues were because I was using a mixed library type for kids shoes and movies, and that they strongly discourage it because of the unreliable metadata it causes. Split kids movies and shows apart and now that works flawlessly, still, I feel like I’d prefer they could be combined on a single library for a kids’ browsing

  • Honestly I think it’s easier, takes up a fair bit of space in the fridge, but you don’t have to worry about liquids and leaking like with a wet brine. The prep isn’t too bad. Just give it enough time to thaw and then you cut out the spine, flatten it and season. I think optimally it has 4 days to sit then but that’s a lot of time taking that much space and I didn’t buy the turkey early enough for that >.> <.< Work’s just been busy, I’ve had a recaulking project at home that did turn out well but took triple the time i thought it would, and then with a kid and toddler, just haven’t been quite on top of it

  • Haha, I’m stressed like last year, I’m further behind on prep than I want to be but I’m not too far behind, might even be better than last year.

    Turkey is spatchcocked and seasoned, made the green bean salad, cranberry sauce, and chicken stock. Bacon cooked for the beer cheese and bacon soup. I’d like to have made the gravy already and be more certain o no the veggies I’ll toast tomorrow, but now typing this out I think I’m in a decent spot
