I had to tease my kids by asking why they don’t use skibidi rizz. Basically saying something about low charisma for the gamers out there. My 20 yo daughter looked at me and said ‘that’s cringe’.

I just laughed at her.

I don’t hear a lot of slang at the school where I work. I pick up some here and there, but that’s about it.

Time is passing quickly this year. It’s already May. Starting in the 27th, I go back to school at way too old to get a degree in library science with a minor in cyber security policy. On the one hand, I’m looking forward to it. On the other, I’m scared. I dropped out of school for reasons both times I tried going.

The first time, I was struggling with some stuff and was working through it when my then-husband said we needed two incomes.

The second time was when I finally left him for abuse.
