Wow!

Oatmeal for dinner. Hello all - ive found this page awesome to see all the support.

My wife and I have gone through back to back miscarriages this year that have been really tough. The first one shocked me and was very difficult for me emotionally. My wife was a trooper. The second one I was in the mindset of wow this is a real thing that can happen, and she has been having a really hard time dealing with it. It has been months. All the testing, blood work, sono grams, say she is completely normal and it's been bad luck.

I had a job as a union carpenter the last 10 or so years or so and through everything we have been through I realize it has added stress. Physically and mentally. I don't want to overly complain because in some sense it can be a great career

I took a new job with my local city redevelopment authority which I thought I would use for my construction experience and had a construction adjacent desk job. It was a tremendous pay cut, but for less demand on your body, consistent hours, consistent location, heat, air conditioning.

The job had absolutely no training or supervision, nobody to ask questions too and left me very very stressed. Everyday felt worse then the one before and after 8 weeks I find myself going back to the union. Sad about the nice coworkers I am leaving at that job. A few of which I really connected with.

Just feels like I'm right back to where I was. Not that a job would change our fertility issues.

My buddy found this in a creek fishing

He says in a creek near Erie PA. By Lake Pleasant where they found a mostly preserved mammoth.

My friend is visiting from the other side of the country and he wanted to make lightsabers out of found objects at the hardware store!! How did we do? Fav?
