It’s here! The audio version of MYOPIC DUPLICITY!

This was always meant to be an auditory experience. When I wrote AITA FOR USING MY HUSBAND’S HOBBY TO TEACH HIM A LESSON, I had @hillaryoutloud voice in my head. download it and hear this story as I intended. ❤️

Making cupcakes for my eldest’s birthday. Fortunate to be close enough to take them to his college. He wanted 24 cupcakes because his floor “isn’t social” and he’s going to change that with the power of cake. That child is 💯 mine.

If Trump has had a major medical episode, like a stroke, then the WH staff has a responsibility to tell the American people. And if he’s incapacitated then he must resign. Congress - where are you?

Bouchercon! Come see an amazing Noir at the Bar!

Mindy Carlson @mindycarlson.bsky.social · Aug 17

Bouchercon is only 2 weeks away and I'm going to be there. Here's where to find me if you want to hang out. I'll also be at the bar and heaven knows where else. (Especially if it involves beignets!)

Got home at midnight, woke up at 6:30. So far I’ve:

- laid in bed for an additional hour
- hit the grocery store
- done 2.5 loads of laundry
- unpacked 2 of 3 suitcases (reason the last suitcase remains unpacked below)
- had coffee and made a quiche
- sorted mail and emails
