Eating a few less, but I’m lucky to have my father-in-law who raises chickens nearby. His girls are laying prodigiously right now, and I’ve not had to buy eggs in months as long as I pay attention.

The shelves at my local stores are nearly empty however. I used to buy the expensive grain-free ones anyway. Because good eggs vs not are like comparing fresh vegetables to canned ones - you know they are related, but distantly.

Same. I thought life would be worse so I stayed married longer than I should have.

Turns out being unhappily married is far more lonely than being single…by a LOT.

Unless you need/like to stand before takeoff, I don’t see the point. I don’t mind if people do, as long as they are polite.

Bag space woes? It’s real, but seriously see what you can do without. I fly for work at least once a month and I’m a pro one bagger for trips of 4 days or less; more if I’m doing summer weight clothes. It means I rewear things if they are clean and sometimes wash clothes in my hotel, but damn does it make travel easy.

Checked bag fees suck. Be the first to volunteer to gate check. I can only recall one flight in the last few months where an announcement wasn’t made. The bag is waiting at the destination gate so you don’t even have to handle bag claim. I do it every time I travel.

This is why I won’t fly Southwest unless I have no other choice. Nice planes and otherwise lovely flight experience; shame about the seat policy. Every time I’ve tried, it’s a confused mess of pushy or perplexed people in line, and I end up completely annoyed before takeoff.

On the flip side, it’s free birth control. 😋

I’d rather sit and knit until my group is called and stroll up without rushing as I know exactly where I’m sitting. I watch people stress. SMH

About 12-15 miles a day over 5 days. Both times were vacation. Once in Chicago (nice weather, didn’t feel like catching buses) and another in the North Cascades of Washington, hiking.
