Mental Load – Who Carries More?

Was reading an online column in the Washington Post and this link popped up, so naturally I had to click and read about mental load. The cartoon is sadly funny and I’m gonna read Fair Play to get the whole story. Reviews under the article are also pretty hysterical. Doing family laundry, imo, is more taxing than mowing the lawn every week or two: no, it’s not just putting clothes in a machine and pushing a button … asshat

People’s March on January 18th in Chgo

Just signed up for the People’s March on January 18 in downtown Chicago – just like 8 years ago. When will people realize the melon felon isn’t going to change?

Bigger Houses, Fewer People

Interesting short article in The Hustle about the increasing size of American homes over the past 100 years.  My take on a home so large it requires at least two HVAC units to house 2.5 people is that it’s nuts. You’re cleaning (well, having them cleaned) rooms you’ve not entered in a month!

Merry Christmas 2024

This year we’re trying something different, a leg of lamb; compromise with FirstBorn so we’ll have prime rib roast for New Year’s Day.  Both mashed and scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, niblets corn, mashed sweet potatoes and half of a Gateau Basque (the other half is being kept under tight supervision away from Squirmy who feels anything with almonds belongs to him.  Already threatened to throw a slipper at him – I think he just sneered and went outside. Lovely flowers courtesy of FirstBorn for my birthday on the 23rd.
