#NoSpendNovember Day 10 -
It snowed, we did school (started a new unit study around PARKED), I packed lunches, Teen went to rehearsal, I dropped items at Goodwill & redeemed a free Bath & Body Works product coupon, kids had a snowball fight. Now home to make dinner & read before I work tomorrow. <3

Chicago appreciates you! <3

#NoSpendNovember Day 9 - I'm up early (its snowy!) plotting what's needed for the week ahead/resetting life after the past week's chaos. Groceries, laundry, & school planning need to happen. I'm gonna make some tea & call both my parents. I have a few things Teen outgrew to list on Buy Nothing too.

#NoSpendNovember Day 8 -
The move...is complete. <3
Brewed myself a big jar of iced tea to get me through. A quick boop to Super H Mart for a few groceries, and now home to make dinner & watch movies & probably fall asleep on my face bc this has been a monumental task & I love this family squad.

#NoSpendNovember Day 7 - 7 hours of unpacking today after 4 hours yesterday (almost ready!) BUT we brought lunch with us today, and I managed to give away a ton of cardboard via Buy Nothing. Lol this month is derailed. Such is life. We do our best. <3

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social Dont cut library funding ever. Libraries are invaluable. <3
Make the cops & Aldermen pay for their own misconduct. I say this as a resident of the 45th ward where $87k in Jim Gardiner's legal fees are being paid by the city. <3

#NoSpendNovember Day 5 - The last 2 days have revolved completely around moving a relative to Chicago BUT the stuff is here & we unpack tomorrow. Only $ spent was lunch bc we didn't expect it to take 7 HOURS, but it was a local sandwich shop &, frankly, we're tired and doing our best. Home & zzz.

Oooh, he's scared. :)
