Chocolate Cheesecake for my husbands 25th + funny text

This is a the first cheesecake I ever made with milk and white chocolate on top and raspberries for garnish.

I sent my husband a picture of the cheesecake I made him 4 years ago and he judged my handwriting because he didn’t remember I made it. I’m happy to see he still would find the cake appealing though lol.

The “whose is it?” made me burst out laughing.

He was mortified when I told him I made that cake but we had a good 5 minute laugh about it. He’s so silly.

My husband forgot the cake I made him for his 25th birthday

What the title says. I sent him a picture of the cheesecake I made him 4 years ago and he judged my handwriting. I’m happy to see he still would find the cake appealing lol.

I’m jealous of my unemployed husband

My husband was DOGEd early 2025 and has since struggled to find a proper job, like so many other people. He’s had a few temporary positions and a corporate situation he had to ultimately leave because it was so toxic. This has surely affected him profoundly, specially his mental health. Thankfully we have been okay thanks to our savings and my full time job. I admire how he keeps on doing his best and has not given up for a second.

But I can’t help but feel… jealous. I fantasize about what I could be doing if I didn’t have a full time job. I’m so overworked that the negatives of being unemployed almost seem worth it.

I think about the things I could be doing with my time, the books I could read, the hobbies, how I would have energy to workout, clean and cook. How I could be a better wife, sister, daughter and friend.

I know it’s just a fantasy and that in reality we would really struggle if we were both unemployed, but god I just want a break. Nobody prepares you for how much corporate America will take from you.

Girl dinner was banana bread with berries, walnuts and maple frosting.

Edit to add: I don’t want to be a stay at home wife or anything. I’m passionate about my job and generally feel satisfaction from it. I don’t want to never work again but would love a little less, maybe a break, or at least no overtime.

2nd edit to add: He does take care of chores and most of the cooking, as well as taking care of our dog and supporting me emotionally. This is not a post about how he’s managing his time but rather how I wish I had more. I enjoy chores and cooking that’s why I wish I could have the time for it.

Supporting my sister with bipolar

My sister recently got diagnosed with bipolar, which has helped her (and me) understand a lot of her past behaviors. She’s now starting meds, prioritizing sleep and overall is very motivated to learn to live with and manage the condition. I’ve been wondering what I can do as well. I would love to hear about how some of you (with and without bipolar) have been supported in a way that mattered and felt like true support rather than being overbearing.

I want to be there for her but I don’t want her to feel infantilized. I am planning on asking her directly as well but I guess I want to be prepared with some examples.

Where do you buy used CDs?

I want to start a physical media collection but I’m not aware of many places here or around DC that sell used CDs. I have been to Smash Records in admo but struggled to find anything there. Does anyone know of other store/market or event where used CDs are sold?

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask but thought I would anyways. My partner found these at the thrift store and I want to ensure these are safe before exposing myself or others. Thank you for your advice!
