On with the bitching & bragging! Let’s circle up!
Bitch: Sure enough, those balmy temps last week were Mother Nature’s burlesque show: giving a little shoulder and taking it back, shaking her boobs and then covering ‘em up. This week it was below freezing a few nights. Good thing I didn’t put my sweaters in storage or I might have jinxed us into getting a blizzard.
Brag: After a month of avoiding any time with me in my room downstairs, Ippie has returned! While I was sick last month, she spent way more time with HM to the point I barely ever saw her. She’s sleeping on my bed in the mornings, and hanging out with me as I type this. I expect she will restart her usual antics of banging on my wall art & throwing my papers on the floor when I don’t get up fast enough to feed her, but for now I am cherishing her return.
Clear out my stock at Busy Birdies Studio! Choose from handsewn zip pouches in two sizes, mini wallets, menstrual product pouches, and other handcrafted items. Use MOXIE20 at checkout to get 20% off your order, too!
Bitch: This week the dishwasher demanded a sacrifice and it was the lid to one of my 21 Day Fix food containers. I hate when I think I’ve properly secured a lid or other small item in the top rack, only for it to go flying during a wash cycle and hit the third rail.
Brag: Maybe it’s because I’m back to eating more balanced meals, or the time change, but I’m feeling much less grumpy and depressed than I have in a few months. Color me relieved.
Being sick for half of February meant my income took a major hit. I hope you’ll consider a paid subscription. You can also send a donation via PayPal or Venmo.
Bitch: The ants arrived early, probably just as confused by the false spring as the flowers. I really hate dealing with ants.
Brag: After a few subpar Instacart shopping experiences, I had a great shopper who read my notes AND who didn’t crush the bananas when bagging everything. Wish I could have her shop for me all the time.
This week on The Corinne Channel: Swiftiemania, rich white people problems, ‘80s bands I just can’t get enough of, and more!
