The teachers are technically required to update each class period. In reality? That’s… optimistic. But Mondays usually give me something, even if it’s incomplete. And I can typically see what tests or quizzes might be coming up, as well as what assignments are due this week. Then I dig into their modules . Because when teachers aren’t updating agendas, the assignments are...]]></description><link>https://www.pinkraccoon.net/post/how-i-manage-my-kids-school-work-behind-the-scenes</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a1f6714882ec6a3ac34845</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Feb 2026 20:15:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a8c36a_9241cee541b24cbabeb27fe44728ca0c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>pinkraccooncompany</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[My First Week on Tirzepatide (Zepbound): What I Actually Noticed]]></title><description><![CDATA[It’s early, and nothing is indicative of what’s going to happen down the road, but getting started can feel both hopeful and scary. So here’s my honest observation from week 1. Week One Takeaways (lowest dose) 1. I Lost 5 Pounds The scale dropped about five pounds in the first week. We’re likely not talking about fat loss. It's probably a mix of reduced bloating, inflammation, and water weight.

You see ads all over your feeds for online companies and have no idea what is legit. The decision fatigue is real. So how do you actually access a GLP if insurance doesn’t cover it?
