Today our building turned off the chiller which is the air conditioning, it feels like only a week ago I was bitching that it was a heatwave and the a/c hadn’t been turned on yet. This pandemic has sure messed up my concept of time.

Seinfeld came on to Netflix today and I am pretty stoked about it.

I had to drop off some returns at the post office today and I couldn’t believe how busy everything was in the morning on a Friday. It felt like a Saturday with the number of people out. I had to check to see if it was a long weekend.

Today I am sharing some of my scholarly wisdom…and by scholarly wisdom I mean some of the things that I learned in school last week. So we will start with the question of what does dramatic classic means?

It has been a while since I made one of these and I am way past due. Over the last 18 months, I guarantee that every single mom out there experienced being a stay at home mom at some point during those months. I will say that my stay at home mom wardrobe at the beginning of the pandemic looks a lot different than it does now.
