Beautiful writing! I also have the same disease with spatial awareness. People ask me whether I think a piece of furniture will fit in a room or if we should move something and I just look at them blankly. It’s some kind of disability πŸ˜‚

I had to laugh. I also zoom in to check parking lots on Google maps! I'd rather not parallel park either! πŸ˜„ Lovely piece! Thanks for sharing!

All of these recipes look sooo delicious! I am highly considering buying those shorts. And Couples Therapy sounds so up my alley!

OH wow thank you so much for the massive compliment! It really made my day!

Also, I'm so with you on the TJ supergoop dupe. I could not stop talking about at my kids' ultimate frisbee 2-day tournament in Blaine where I swear there is not ONE DROP of shade to be found. People were like, "Do you work for Trader Joes or something!?" Sorry if you live in Minnetonka and cannot keep up with me buying the stock there. ;)

You're so welcome! I know exactly what ultimate frisbee tourney you're talking about, because I attended my brother's UF tourney in Blaine *years* ago! So funny. Also hilarious that you are now the official sponsor of TJ daily facial sunscreen. I respect it. :)

And I'm heading back there this weekend for two of my kids' state tournaments. Third weekend of May in Blaine. Then I'm done until next year. Woo-hoo!

I love this thought of the astronauts. My brain makes maps quickly probably because I need it to survive my life! Lol! But I love what you’ve described here, of zooming out to figure out where you are and where you need to go. Lovely!

Thanks so much, Joy. I bet if, like you, I worked at it day in and day out, I could build up those neuron connections in my brain. The real question is....will I put in the work or will I continue relying on Google Maps? lol
