At the career fair yesterday afternoon I met some of R’s friends that she used to hang out with a lot in previous grades but has sort of been a bit in and out of touch with them. Anyway, I ask this 5th grader where her bestie is, and this girl goes into a long story about how *she* suffers from anxiety attacks, and she had one a few days ago and she had to miss school. Now her bestie is also *faking* her own anxiety attack so she could stay home too. I had no idea how to react to this and could only mutter “I hope you both are feeling better now!” and leave it at that. But, kid, never lose that ability to talk about your mental health in open like this. I love the honesty you displayed and awareness of your own self, even as a fifth grader. Please, please do not grow up to become an adult who keeps everything inside and does not open up! Keep doing you what you are doing & you will do great.

Took part in career fair at school today where I explained what I do for a living to students. I won’t like I kinda felt a bit (just a bit) safer knowing that the booth next to mine was the police department’s and the next one was fbi, both of whom were with their guns. What a sad fucking feeling to have this.

You teenager wit that let’s go Brandon cap on outside the museum – I hope you have a absolutely wretched and miserable life and I wish nothing but compete and utter shit for you. I hope you live like a piece of shit.

Stranger Thimgs season 4 premiere was quite awful. If this is the tone of the season then the show has jumped the shark. Hopefully gets better as season goes on.

So they keep saying real estate prices are going down, and I feel the same (especially since we bought one so yeah luck right?), but i am not sure it applies to high cost of living areas. A house that we had casually visited a month ago with no intentions of buying (coz small house, 1 car garage only) went for 200k above asking. Me and Anu were legit looking at each other in disbelief this morning – like how? why? who paid that much in escalation at a market thats actually cooling. Makes me think nothing really is cooling here anytiime. Its just relative and luck of the draw!

Back to Philly for the weekend and I highly recommend you eat ammas kitchen in downtown for some yummy South Indian food. The South Indian in me highly recommends!

Shining Girls went from being a creative mind bender to exhausting meh watch. And to imagine next week is “season” finale and not series finale makes me think they are just going to keep dragging the premise forever. Yawn.
