My husband takes Humira and it arrives in a big cooler each week, so that takes a bunch of space. I had cancer and am on a powdered drink diet that comes in big jugs. The boxes from shipping and jugs take up a half can there. I also spread garbage across cans to avoid it getting too heavy. I hope my neighbors aren’t judging us like this.

This helps me a lot. If I really need to pull out all the stops, then a hot bath with this on your head (plus some caffeine) can really help:

It’s a one semester residential high school program on a working farm in Vermont run by Milton Academy, a prep school in Massachusetts. https://www.mountainschool.org/
It mixes honors level coursework with a lot of outdoor activities and manual labor taking care of the farm. It’s very tiny, only 45 kids at a time, and they say that alumni mostly go to selective private colleges. It sounds cool in theory, but I really don’t know that much about it beyond what’s on their web page, and I don’t have a good sense of whether the kids are self-motivated or just have rich parents who want to bolster their college resumes. We will go visit in person if she applies, but I figured some people here might be alums or have kids who went.

Thanks! I will look into that too.
If you don’t mind me asking, was your first husband from a rich, prep school sort of background? My daughter has had a very comfortable upbringing, but she’s in public school in a small Midwest city, and if this is mostly super wealthy New England prep school kids (which is my impression – I could be wrong…) I’m not sure it’s going to be a good fit socially.

Yeah, when I had Das Boot, I had to go out and buy shoes that were the right height so I wouldn’t be lopsided.

Update: It does include the mortgage. Still pretty horrifying, though. The husband just ran up all the debt being a people-pleser for the whole family, and the wife just closed her eyes to everything financial for 18 years.
