I'm sorry, I can relate. My father was in the military so we moved A LOT! I would get comfortable in one school, then move to another, even after my father left the military I still move schools a lot. Rn I am homeschool, and my mom plans to keep it that way, but I want real friends...

I fear breaking my bones. Not to mention getting surgery, I hate to imagine someone cutting my skin open, stitching it up with needles, and so on... (Not to mention the blood. 🤮) When I see someone bleeding [even on tv] I have to apply pressure to my rists. Idk why my rists... but it feels like someone is pushing my bone out of place but in both directions...

Best: I finally was able to figure out that I have misophonia.

Kiwi died of lung cancer and Flair was very sad about that and developed depression about her hubby's loss. She laid some eggs but they didn't hatch :'( One managed to survive but my brother-in-law's son destroyed it. I was beyond sad and just kicked them out of the house. But the best thing? I got a new pair of baby budgies and a pigeon! Flair started recovering pretty quickly after I got them. She also accepts Caramel (my pigeon) as a part of her family too! I am so happy for Flair! Flair, Snowball (6 weeks old, female budgie), and Banana (1-month-old, male budgie) have piggyback rides sometimes on top of Caramel UwU

Best thing: Jackson being confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Worst thing: Everywhere one looks, seeing the faces of Bobeck, Greene, Halsey, Cawthorne, Trump, Trump Jr., Ivanka and her husband; who, along with an unending list of others of their ilk, seem to be the turds that floated to the top as the Republicans 'drained the swamp' as they had promissed in 2016.
