Beyond the sky and the earth by Jamie Zeppa. The only people I know who have read it have done it at my recommendation.

Call your dad more often.

Morbid, Red-handed, Wine & Crime, Criminology, True Crime Garage, Dark Poutine, My Favorite Murder, Small Town Murder.

Varying degrees of comedy, I cycle through favorites depending on my mood.

Don’t buy the textbooks. You probably don’t need them. If you do, buy a used one from another student for 1/100th of the price or get an online copy.

Similar hours, no kids but 2 dogs and 2 cats.

A Roomba and a housekeeper once a month to do the big things (dust, bathrooms, floors). Worth every penny.

I think having an isolated area for kids toys or an easy to dump bucket to throw everything in would probably help the chaos that I see in other parents’ homes but as a childfree person I’m the last who should give advice on that so feel free to laugh and ignore that idea.

Ahh, thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong as I am still trying to figure out lemmy 🤣
