Rain, rain, rain for the last two days has everything feeling soggy and damp. Let’s circle up!
Bitch: Over a week ago I bought a bunch of green bananas, figuring they would ripen within a couple of days. Not this mutant bunch. I finally put them in a brown paper bag yesterday. Deena suggested I put the bananas in the back seat of the car and drive around with them, as every time she takes one in her snack bag for her epic bike rides, she winds up with an overripe mess. I’m considering this option.
Brag: The Baltimore Orioles are clinched for the wild card! While they didn’t win the game I attended with Pops last weekend, it was still an exciting game and the fans were all so energized.

Bitch: Last week I was dealing with low back pain that was making work really difficult, and the stretches I was doing didn’t help much at all…
Brag: …then I saw an IG reel by Fitness with PJ where she showed stretches to release low back pain. I found a tennis ball & did the rolling one, as well as the other two stretches, and my back was all better this week!

Bitch: This evening I got an email from the county claiming I didn’t attend the virtual voting judge training last week. Um, hello, I was there AND I made a slightly sassy comment in the chat. Check your records!
Brag: I got to teach French classes on Monday and I had so much fun doing it. The students were surprised to hear me speak French and I had very few discipline issues. The regular French teacher told me she’d request me the next time she needs a substitute. Chouette! (That’s French for “cool.”)
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, home-baked goodies, witchy fun, that one award-winning comedy-mystery, and more!
