    Working today, off for 7 after since in-law family is in town. My SIL has spent years adamantly stating we have nothing in common, which I disagree with but am not investing energy into it. But she asked if I wanted to run with her this weekend while they are here, so perhaps thats her olive branch. She’s much faster and into much shorter runs but we agreed on 4 easy miles tomorrow morning.

    Bought a new Black Friday cellphone today. $999 phone, $830 trade in, I figured it wouldn’t get better than that.

    Hoping for a big mileage week since I’m not working much. Also hoping for a big eating week since that’s my first love.

      Ooh what phone did you get? And that’s so weird about your SIL, does she just arrive to every family function and ignore you since you “have nothing in common”? Hoping a run together only helps!

        iPhone 15 pro max super duper platinum diamond. Pretty sure that’s the name.

        She doesn’t ignore me per say, but my partners family is odd with poor communication. And I have a relatively screwed up view of family anyways since I’ve been solo since 16, raised 2 siblings, was adopted later, etc. so my BS tolerance is poor for it. It’s essentially mutual neutral. Pleasant in person, no communication otherwise.

          Lol all the phone names are ridiculous aren’t they. Congrats on the new one, though! I hope I don’t have to get one for a long time – I have the iPhone 13 mini and really don’t want to go back to a big phone.

          I hear you. Family is weird. But maybe the magic of running will bring you a Thanksgiving bonding miracle.

          If it makes you feel any better that’s how I feel about most of my extended family, they are all nice enough people and in person we get along, when not in person I forget they exist.
