1. “Are You Still Watching?” Is a Personal Attack
Yes, Netflix.
I am still watching.
What else would I be doing?
Training for a triathlon?
2. Every Meal Is Now Negotiable
Breakfast at 10?
Sure.
Lunch at 3?
Why not?
Dinner at 4?
Now we’re talking.
3. Pants With Buttons Are Aggressive
Give me elastic waistbands or give me death.
4. My Car Makes New Sounds Every Week
Tap.
Clunk.
Whirr.
Rattle.
Do I take it in?
Or accept it as part of the car’s personality?
Usually the latter.
5. This Week’s Unexpected Gratitude
The grocery store had my cereal back in stock.
Small things, big joy.
