My mom moved in with us when my dad died in 2018. My kids have grown up with her in our home. There are times that this has been wonderful, but geez... it's a lot of paperwork/driving/stress for me. My main rant is how completely unprepared my parents were for their own mortality.

... so little housing (at a realistic price point) is made for multigenerational living. Open floor plan stinks for privacy and personal space! Flippers: put a full bathroom and bedroom on the main floor, I dare you!

During a group conversation at the playground, a friend half-heard the name of the paleontologist "Mary Anning" as a present participle, as in "maryanning." So that's a word you can use for your next walk around the neighborhood. I hope you find something exciting. 🦕 🦴
