Skunks are common city animals, so it's a little more surprising to me that you haven't encountered then before. But for the most part they're pretty chill little guys, and forage widely -- so seeing one in your yard doesn't mean they've taken up residence. They eat grubs mostly (which is great for lawns and gardens).

As others have said, as long as you're not getting up in their faces, you shouldn't have any problems.

Even if the length is the same, men's shoes tend to be wider than women's (sometimes much wider). So swapping is great if you're a woman with wide feet, but if you're a man with wide or even average feet, it would be much harder to swap to a woman's shoe.

"-music" should mostly do the trick... unless you're looking for music.

The US has a huge number of cities named after cities/regions in other parts of the world, e.g.:

  • Moscow, Idaho
  • Ottawa, Illinois
  • Brussels, Wisconsin
  • Ontario, California
  • Paris, Texas
  • etc!

Adding the country or state designation after one of these names is helpful for clarity.

I wonder if something like project management might be a good fit for you. Or perhaps some sort of social services.

In any case, I think most people work any number of different jobs before settling on a career path, and sometimes trying things out is the way we find what we'd like to do. And when thinking about a long-term direction it's less important to "love" the work than to choose sometimes that will be sustainably intellectually engaging for you and that you feel is worth doing, and worth doing well.

In May my spouse and I are going away together for a few days without the kids for the first time in a decade.

The tulip and daffodil leaves are emerging in our gardens and soon we will have flowers.

Our church is starting up again this week & I love choir.

The username might be a clue here.

I use an app called ReadEra which I like very much. I use the free version but it looks like the premium version does what you're looking for: it can sync via Google drive and you can upload your own fonts. (Premium is a one-time $20 payment, not a subscription.)

How old is your sibling?

I threw up during pregnancy once when I had just had OJ and brussel sprouts. It was years before I could take even a sip of orange juice without feeling nauseated all over again.

OP seems to be in Europe, so I'm not sure how much of your second point applies.
