Were you raised by narcissists? Growing up with a parent who has narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) — a disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-importance, which is likely derived from genetic and environmental factors and is more common in men — can be extremely difficult. Many children of narcissistic parents struggle to maintain healthy relationships as they grow older and have difficulty shedding the unhealthy relationship dynamics that were modeled for them.

These days, a depleted battery means much more than a dead phone. It means a missed email from a client or coworker, a missed text from the sitter, a missed calendar notification from Siri.

If you store your toolbox in a non-climate-controlled garage or shed, or in the bed of your truck, you’ll need rust protection. You could use those tiny silica packets that come with a new pair of shoes, but it could take months (or years!) to collect enough to protect your tools from excess moisture. Instead, make a DIY rust-preventing pouch with a generous scoop of silica crystal kitty litter, a piece of breathable fabric (we cut off a piece of an old t-shirt) and a zip tie.
