It’s gonna be a hot one this coming week so let’s get the bitchin’ and braggin’ for the last two weeks out of the way. Circle up!

Bitch: Back on June 6, I reported that my right hamstrings felt strained or pulled, and I couldn’t figure out why. I did some googling and I think it’s actually a sciatica flare-up. Argh!

Brag: I’ve been elevating my knees with a pillow while I sleep, and taking ibuprofen when my leg is feeling extra painful. Both of these treatments have helped alleviate the pain.

Bitch: Mari got sick with bronchitis again to the point she had to go to the ER…

Brag: …but fortunately they caught it early enough that she didn’t have to be checked into the hospital.

Bitch: It took two hours to get a GrubHub delivery for a restaurant that is less than ten minutes from me. I got a $5 credit from them, which is more than nothing, but I’m still annoyed.

Brag: As an early Father’s Day present, I bought tickets for me and Pops to see the Detroit Tigers (his favorite team) play the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers won 4-1, which pleased Pops.

Pops and I before the game started. Great view from our seats, though a bit loud because there was a speaker right above us.

Bitch: For the last couple weeks of school, I worked in Wagstaff’s front office and was astounded by the audacity of some parents. I get that you’re upset about something that happened to your kid, and that it’s important you resolve the issue, but the principal and/or assistant principals are not going to drop everything to take your phone call.

Brag: I made it through the entire school year, even when I didn’t think I would. I learned a lot from the experience and you better believe I’ll be writing about it. Stay tuned…

This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS Bitch & Brag video, last two weeks of school treats, summer vacation reads, yachties drama, and more!
