Three biggest #Christmas traumas of my young life:
3) The time mom made ham instead of turkey (I love turkey skin)
2) Every time I didn’t get a horse.

My friend consistently beats me at the timed #nyt #MiniCrossword . Today was a good example of why. When I saw three letters for "They ask you to take off your shoes" my mind went JPN for Japan.

Fredrik Backman's Anxious People was such an utter joy to read. I'd just been feeling like there weren't people picking up where authors like Tom Robbins and John Irving left off, but I was a fool. And Marin Ireland's audiobook narration is freaking AMAZING.

My office money tree wasn't showing me the money. It was dying. It said, "It's not you, it's me." So I put it outside. It immediately sprang back to life and now all my neighbors are rich.

I know I can use the words "concern" or "anxiety," but I've always thought "worrimentation" should be a word. Think I'll start slipping it into my books and see if it takes off.
