Let's hear it!

Being at home all this time has finally gotten the better of me. I had the nerve to join a one-hour work video call the other day without wearing a bra—camera on and everything. Sorry not sorry.

@keikilove I have a video call for work later today and I’ve already decided there is no way I’m putting makeup on or doing anything with my hair lol. And I saw all my students yesterday with a gigantic messy bun on the top of my head. So I feel like I’m right there with you!

@keikilove At the beginning of quarantine I saw the writing on the wall, and online shopped for some "house bras" Have not put on an underwire since March, have no immediate plans to do so.

My FFFC is that I have been going wayyyyyyyyyy too long between hair washes during quarantine. Like way too long. I've always stretched it out, but I'm pretty sure I'm ridiculous now. In my defense, my hair is crazy long and thick and a huge PITA to wash at this length.

@mvt2003 I touch/play with my bangs too much and can't go more than every other day with washing my hair. Bangs get so greasy looking so fast! I spent a week to 2 weeks trying every 3rd day but nah, don't think that's my cup of tea, but maybe I'll try again another time. I just got back into doing the curly girl method so I'm working on getting my technique right before I try extending time between wash days.

I don't even use a bralette right now. I'm letting the girls free swing

@keikilove no judgement! I did the same thing @mvt2003 did and have only been wearing those. I got some cute bralettes that I've been wearing and my FFFC is either that I don't get the hype around them and also might only wear them when we go back to work LOL. 

@mvt2003 hair twins and also going way too long bw washes, although that will probably change now that it's more humid. I've been wearing it in braids recently bc it's such a pita to blow dry, and bc it's getting so long and heavy.

I never knew that moose were this huge (see pic in spoiler). Also, I just googled “what is the plural of moose?” right before typing this

inthewoods23

@manillabar I saw a picture the other day of one in the middle of a median on a street in Alaska and it's twice the height of the SUV!!

mvt2003

@manillabar @inthewoods23 Moose are enormous and it's actually scary when you see one! When I was a kid, we pulled over to the side of the road in NH to look at a moose at the edge of the woods (a lot of other people were doing it too) and I started to call it to me "here moosey moosey" and it started heading in our direction! My mom freaked out and flung me in the backseat of the car and yelled at my dad to drive!

My FFFC is that it's 1:30pm and I haven't showered yet.....  And I don't care!

kpearse99

Update.... a bird pooped on me, so I am now freshly showered 

inthewoods23

@kpearse99 it took a bird to get you to shower today!? lol

mvt2003

Omg dying @inthewoods23

kpearse99

@inthewoods23 yes and no! I had every intention on showering at 2:30 anyway but the bird just made that happen a little sooner 

inthewoods23

@kpearse99 just doing your thing then....

legallykate

I have not showered yet. Send the bird my way. 

manillabar

*TW* LC & loss mentioned

MH's family has started referring to our only nephew as 'angel baby' when he's being good (because normally he's a regular 18mo old full of energy and sass) and it feels like a knife through the heart because that's what I use to refer to our embie that we lost. So it's is just sending me into a blind rage every time they say anything. 

SIL is very sympathetic and she is the only one that doesn't use the term but the rest of them haven't even acknowledged our loss. MH says it's because they don't know what to say. I want to believe him but I'm shaking my fist at them anyway because I'm firmly stuck in the anger/resentment phase of the grief cycle. So my FFFC is that this pandemic is really opening my eyes to how poorly they communicate and I really don't miss any of them that much.

@kiki047 Geesus, I am so sorry for everything you mentioned. I have been thinking of you like crazy but haven’t wanted to @ you because you said you needed to take a break. Totally understandable. I’m so sorry that no one besides your SIL has acknowledged your loss. It is devastating and I understand your feelings of grief & anger. Your FFFC makes perfect sense.💓

kiki047

Thanks @keikilove. Go ahead and tag away. I'm slowly working my way back. 

I feel guilty because I really lucked out with MH's fam for the most part. I've heard some true horror stories about in-laws and other than just being super ignorant, his family welcomed me with open arms and have generally just treated me like one of their own since day 1. So I fully recognize how blessed I am in that sense. But maaan do they suck at talking lol.

@kiki047  

You know I'm there in the weeds with you, feeling all the things. Sending you hugs and strength. And wine. Lots of that.
