Did a search for TWENTY DEAD IN and this story popped up. The things you find. (Also interesting is how many cases of "twenty dead" there are.) https://www.jpost.com/international/article-710422

An exchange this morning with my husband. Do they really not get it, or is it willful ignorance?

I think I discovered that the easiest way to have a different kind of day is simply to break routine.

I’m addicted to the SmartLess podcast.

I’m middle-aged and am STILL happy to be done with school because I don’t have to think about homework or tests.

I just heard a story on NPR about cuddle parties (strangers meeting up for non-sexual cuddling).

Would you do this? Y/N

A woman in the grocery store pulled down her mask to complain to me, a stranger, about the price of a bakery counter cake and about the fact that the store we were in had higher prices than stores a few towns over and about how it, and everything else, was Biden’s fault because he started everything.

GINNY & GEORGIA more than anything else makes me certain that I’d have been 10x the emotional mess I was in middle and high school if I’d had to do it with social media and the immediacy of texting. Holy no thank you.

One of the growth moments in my life was recognizing that a certain level or type of psychopathy - and apathy - exists in some people. It just is. This stopped me from wondering, "How could someone kill their whole family?" I'm not sure if the absence of shock and confusion is a good thing or a bad thing.

Still excited about this, now just 20 days away from publication! Eek.
