Not SK related at all - but curious if anyone has tried intermittent fasting?  I just started a 16/8 schedule a couple of weeks ago, where I skip breakfast (black coffee only in the mornings now - used to have coffee with half-and-half and sugar), eat an early lunch at 11 am, maybe a mid-afternoon snack, and then dinner at 6 or 6:30.  Nothing except water after 7 pm.

Bratty McBratFace is now 'doing well' in post-bacc 2.0

What a difference a week makes.  SO arranged for a call with Bratty McBratFace after her prior texts from a week ago indicating they were 'not doing well' and had a relapse of mono.  SO's report back painted a very different and very upbeat picture.

Bratty seemed happy after her long weekend in Denver with Nutter GF (apparently they were there for a wedding in Nutter GF's family).  Bratty seemed re-energized and said she is doing well enough in her post-bacc 2.0 classes except for Physics (her nemesis LOL) which she says is really hard.  She has mid-terms coming up next week.

Is Bratty McBratFace On The Move?

SO mentions last night that Bratty posted a happy smiling picture with Nutter GF on Facebook (I'm connected to Bratty but don't follow her posts anymore).  In the comments someone asked her where that was and she mentioned it was a stop on the way to Denver.  Which is odd because 1) Bratty texted SO last week that she was 'not doing well' and had relapsed with Mono;  2) She is supposed to be in classes and studying (I suppose there may be a mid-semester break but it seems early for that?) and 3) She isn't working so where is getting the money to pay for gas to go from NorCal to Denver?  I'm

Holidays in Stepland: Side-Stepping the Steps

Well I suppose last year we had a break due to COVID and Bratty McBratFace (SD24) living a few hours away from us - no travelling and our holiday was spent with a small pandemic pod of close friends.  This year, with our family all vaccinated, we are considering holiday plans again.  Holiday plans are such a tricky minefield when dysfunction step-relationships are in the picture.

Bratty is still up in NorCal working on Post Bacc 2.0, living with Nutter GF in a communal house of 12.  I have no idea how its going since I haven't heard anything, nor have I asked.

SS25 (Luke Skywalker) is still living with BM (Darth Vader).  For a long time after their divorce, Luke would not speak to SO due to PAS.  However, a couple of years ago Luke reached out and they have been meeting for lunch about once every couple of months.  A couple of months ago SO broke the news to Luke that he was getting re-married and that he would like Luke to consider coming to the wedding next summer.  

Bratty McBratFace Has Mono

She texted SO last week during our vacation that she was at a clinic waiting on a test.  We were visiting Grandma McBratFace (who already cancelled one Bratty visit a couple of months ago) and you could hear the anxiety creep into her voice when she found out. Bratty had rescheduled her visit for August so Grandma was understandably concerned.  I think she would have cancelled again except this time Bratty got the hint and cancelled herself so Grandma is safe once again.
