Damn, you are good at hitting things that I recognize right away. Used to do that all the time. Even joined the Green Party to try to have influence

(well, pretend to at least). Massive ego boost to be on the debate stage with people who actually could win. But that is what "smart" guys do - try to be the smartest in the room on everything. Funny how much of that urge is fading now.

That last line is the whole thing, isn't it. I used to need to be right about everything. Now I mostly want a quiet afternoon and my software.

As a single mom with 2 at home (3rd here part time) quiet afternoons are rare, especially with the grandchild here. Very happy with it, never dreamed I'd enjoy having a multi-generation household but there you go. Trying to figure out how we'd adjust if she gets custody back of her 3 oldest. Pre-transition I'd have said "no" but now i want to find a way. Weird.
