YouTube, man. Husband booked us a trip to the Star Wars hotel at Disney, and decided he and our son needed costumes. He taught himself to use it on YouTube.

He didn't even ask me for help. "Oh, this lady on YouTube has been sewing for 30 years!" SO HAVE I!

My sister, who is a Millennial conservative, loves him.

I think he's a "well, actually" guy with veneers.

My sister is the only conservative in our family. Her husband's family are all conservative. My mom loves to push their buttons about Trump, I'm less willing to engage because I'm not going to change their minds, so why bother?

I was at my sister's house while her MIL was there, and our mom was not there. I guess my sister and her MIL were feeling cheeky, so they started talking politics at me and asked if I believed in Hunter Biden's laptop.

Yep, I believe he had a laptop.

Did I believe the photos were real?

Yep, that dude's a moron and overall pretty crappy person. If he did something illegal, arrest him, prosecute him, fire him into the sun for all I care.

I have too much sense to follow that up with "... just like Trump and his kids", and thankfully my niece came around to chat and the politics conversation ended.

Try martial arts.

Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.

I say martial arts because it sounds like you're having trouble being self-directed and finding motivation. I also have trouble being self-directed. I don't go to the gym because I get there and I'm overwhelmed by the options and don't know how to use the machines and get really self-conscious about everything. I don't like outside sports because I live where it's hot. Martial arts classes are set up to teach you in structured lessons, with instructors to plan what you're gonna do and keep you motivated.

Plus, you get to hit stuff.
