Oh dear! Praying!

I have looked at those, thanks!

I have a sixth grader wanting to hit some geography this spring. Would y'all have any recommendations for us? She's an ambitious student and likes maps.

Sure. I leave a 12 year old home pretty often during daylight hours. We live in a safe neighborhood and the kid is reliable.

Sparkling water (La Croix, etc)

I'm studying French. Including it as a school subject for my 6th grader helped me feel great about hiring a teacher for a 1x/week lesson for the two of us. I also listen to some French podcast or another for about 20 minutes a day and take probably 30 dedicated minutes to review on my own. So far I'm pleased with my progress and encouraged to continue.

Look at Ting for a phone and plan if you're trying to spend less. We use their stuff and it's been great. I buy the cheapest phone and use the flex plan that's $15/month.

Our teacups are called "pip-pips".

I'm wanting a Meyer Lemon tree in a cute pot for a window in my living room.

For sure, yeah. Good idea to start there!

A. If we have extra time in the hour, we also read some of the next section aloud.

Not a crazy idea, but no.

Not excessively skinny - sporty/strong and slim, but definitely hungry.

I've wondered, too, if she needs a break. It seems like a sort of natural slackening of the training schedule will happen after mid-October, and we'll keep an eye to notice whether there is any change with the nausea at that point, while also checking out the bloodwork, etc.

It seems clear that she should see a doc - some of those possibilities sounds kind of scary! And I would truly hate for dd to be thinking her stress/anxiety/anything is causing a problem that it's actually not. Would you send your college freshman to a regular general practitioner in her college town? A special GI type doc? Here or there? We don't regularly see anyone here, so there would probably be equally good.
