This is basically what I have, probably the Target knockoff version of this $49 bag from Nordstrom.
If I had to walk far, I’d definitely need a backpack. My concerns with those are 1) getting a sweaty back, and 2) on the T, I can’t stand when people crowd in there and don’t take their backpack off, that’s rude. I’d have to hold it by the handle.
It is ridiculous how heavy things get. I have the small Lenovo laptop, which isn’t terrible, but an iPad or MacBook Air would probably make a difference. I worked at a really stupid company for a while that mis-ordered my laptop and it was one of those huge gaming ones. I could not carry it around. I got them to buy me a keyboard for my iPad and used that, which was so much better. I do have to use my work laptop now though because of financial security stuff.
But yeah, a large lightweight cheap bag seems like the best option these days.
I just use a big pleather tote from target with a tote organizer inside that I can easily switch into my nice tote for weekends. I need a big enough bag for work to carry laptop, water bottle, cup for iced coffee, 3 pairs of goddamn glasses, contact tracer, badge, wallet, notebook, planner, and other shit. And be able to grab stuff easily out of it.
I have had a nice Tory Burch work bag in the past that I really liked, but eventually the straps on a bag always get wrecked if you’re carrying that much shit around.
I wouldn’t take anything nicer than a Kate Spade or Tory Burch to work.
Right, I think it was about property and lineage.
“Marriage, by its nature, is between the two participating individuals (regardless of sexual orientation or gender) and God.”
No, it’s not. It’s a legal contract. People can bring God / gods into it if they want to, or not. And excuse me, but until the Supreme Court decides women can’t divorce, you don’t get to decide what’s sufficient grounds for divorce and what isn’t.
“The guy broke a convenient he made between himself, his wife and God.”
He might have. Some people do, some don’t.
I used to eat soup for dinner and take the dog for a really long walk.
My dog now just wants to wander down Massachusetts Avenue and talk to literally every single person. People on drugs, Jehova’s Witnesses, the homeless people who are into 5G conspiracy and steal from the supermarket and CVS, everyone. He was talking to a woman yesterday on my way to Walgreens and she told me that “the gentleman who walks this dog” won’t let her talk to him, and picks him up when he sees her, and she thinks it’s because she’s Black. So then I had to keep trying to assure her that my husband isn’t racist, he’s just busy. She asked me 3x if it’s because she’s Black and I’m like no no, but I could tell she didn’t believe me. Awkward. She’s like, “this dog likes me!”
I felt like that too about it being pretty easy and peaceful being single, and like how on earth could I share a home with someone. Even now, when my husband goes on work trips, there’s some sense of relief to be able to work longer hours to get my work done, eat whatever food is in the house (rather than going out and eating high-calorie food or cooking a meal) etc. Even though he does everything around the house when he’s here! Only being responsible for yourself definitely has a lot going for it.
I think at some point you’re going to find a partner, but even if you don’t you’re going to be okay.
It’s not a race. If it was, I would have won, I got married right after I turned 21. Except I didn’t know shit about myself and neither did he, and we got divorced after 7 years.
Wanted to suggest the Living Proof Restore Perfecting Spray as a leave-in. It’s really really good. Silicone free, heat protecting, UV protecting, smoothing, and moisturizing. And not heavy.
“Fast and pray to Jesus” is amazing advice. Thank you, alert citizen Anon.
HUGE red flag: , he needed a break and we talked it out, and his only way of working out it would be cutting 100% contact with my cousin.
That’s not acceptable, your cousin is family and lives with you. A guy asking you to cut off a family member is bad, bad news. I mean yeah, kidding your cousin is a little gross, but there is no justification here for forcing you to choose between your boyfriend and cousin. Run.
