Sweet cheese on a cracker, it has been a WEEK. And to be frank, the last month was pretty ragged, too. Let’s circle up!
Bitch: I thought it was safe to put my summer clothes in storage but climate change had other ideas. On Wednesday it was in the 80s and Thursday was in the mid 70s. I would like to speak to the manager because this is unacceptable!
Brag: Even though my job is very challenging, getting a decent sized paycheck every two weeks has eliminated the majority of my financial stress. I also like a lot of the people I work with, and their friendship and support is truly a blessing.
You can support me & my writing by recommending A Life of Moxie to others. I also accept donations via PayPal or Venmo, if you’re so inclined.
Bitch: I am more than two weeks behind on getting products ready for holiday sales at Busy Birdies Studio, thanks to…well, everything that was going on in October that kept me busy.
Brag: I have managed to get 90% of the fabric preparation completed & my plan is to spend the weekend sewing and listening to podcasts. If you want to know when the new products are available for sale, sign up for the mailing list here.

Bitch: I feel cheated that I spent 12+ hours working as a voting judge and all I got was a button and a narcissistic felonious prick for a president.

Brag: I saw several poll workers that I remembered from the primaries, met some new people, and we made the most of the day together, making jokes, sharing stories, and even singing songs in the last hour. That’s what community is about: coming together to support each other, no matter what happens.
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, actual books I read in the last few weeks, disgusting soda, must-watch docuseries, and more!
