***FYI: I am collecting donations for our Lakota families until Nov 17th. Details in the Giving paragraph. Half of any proceeds from the blog during this time (see sidebar) will also be added to those donations.***
Abby’s had a heck of a run with her rental. Thankfully the issues are with the place and not the tenant.
I adore Chrissy Teigen. And John Legend seems like the best partner.
I’ve been hearing a lot of Derry Girls and have pondered adding it to my watch list. But this review and description of adolescence, oh my, I do so feel this about that age: “Adolescence — real adolescence — is gangly, awkward, and painfully embarrassing; one doesn’t so much “come of age” as suffer from it until you escape. This is why coming-of-age shows airbrush adolescence, and why Derry Girls refuses to do so: nothing in how McGee portrays the hellish in-between of youth would make you want to go back to it.”
Roxane Gay’s ministry of checking bags. I used to check bags, then I tried to carry on only. Then I had a kid and that all went Hades. We check bags now and it’s nice to only carry enough on to put under the seats, plus one backpack that might go overhead if we haven’t lost our minds and we packed adequate snacks for our small black hole that we travel with. I haven’t traveled solo for longer than a day or two for a few years so I don’t recall what I do unencumbered. Are you Team Checked Bag or Carry-On?
This made me chuckle: hot people are stressful. I had a similar doctor experience once, bundled off to the ER because of debilitating pain, rolled up like pastry wrapped sausage in two coats and a robe. I can neither explain the pain nor the Michelin Man bundle. For some reason that made Mom feel better about sending me off with only my brother as driver? It was unpleasant to say the least to be greeted by a reasonably put together, not utterly disheveled, conventionally attractive doctor. At the very least, I scolded my body, have something worthwhile to justify being here and having to face THIS social interaction! Alas, it did not.
