I don't want to say I'm special or anything, but I do have to give myself props, not for generally being a parent, but raising developmentally challenged kid, basically on my own with little informative support and guidance through it all.
She's an adult now with many new challenges, but she's managing herself around her hardships. We have a strong, loving, well-earned bond.
On a less cheesy note, I can whistle the opening tune in Disney's Robin Hood.
I can draw hands really well (surprisingly), I'm double jointed in my thumb, and I am very forgetful. . . . :p
That I'm still here. Through all the büllshit, the hardships, the heartbreak, I'm still standing against all the shït the world has thrown at me. Got to mean something, doesn't it?
I worked as a technician at a VW dealership in the US around the year 2016. We kept getting ECU software updates from the MFG on "certain" models like they were tweaking something and just couldn't get it right so we half-jokingly and half-not said around the shop, "yeah they're probably trying to figure out how to cheat emission standards". After that, a lesser-known article from the university that was doing the testing came out about some "inconsistencies" with the VW diesel passenger cars. I kid y'all not, only weeks after that all of our local customers diesels had software updates again. We were in shock like, "are they serious with this?!?". So my contribution is: I was (unknowingly obviously) one of a very small number of people who physically installed the dieselgate cheating software in many, many of those cars; sometimes more than once. Then the bottom dropped out after the buybacks and we had no work and I left. 🔧
I cannot think of anything in particular. I am quite tall for someone of my height! Yes. That is a joke.
Nothing awesome. I have always been a HORRIBLE cook. I can't follow a recipe, it will turn out nothing like what I wanted. I can burn water. I can't cook. I just freaking cant, BUT yesterday I cooked myself a steak - without the help of my chef husband- and some asparagus with a hollandaise sauce and it was AH mazing. I took so many pictures and sent them out to my friends and family LOL. Anyway, it made me so happy.
