A full moon today and we are full up on crazy in this country. Gather ‘round, kids!
Bitch: As if the results of the election weren’t bad enough, we now have a kakistocracy in the making. Send in the clowns? Don’t bother, they’re here!
Brag: Everyone’s favorite satirical news outlet The Onion bought InfoWars and their letter announcing the purchase is a riot. Whether or not the purchase will be finalized is in question, but for the time being, let’s count this as a win, hmm?

Bitch: We continued to have crickets in the house this month and I blame global warming. It seemed like every night I was capturing one and putting it outside in the morning, but for all I know it was the same damn cricket every time.
Brag: For months I’d been wanting crew socks that were comfortable and wouldn’t make my feet too hot. Last weekend I ordered these Dickies Moisture Control Crew Socks and they are fantastic: they stay up, my feet aren’t all sweaty and gross after a long day, and they are super comfortable.

Bitch: I worked a full week at Wagstaff, which I hadn’t done in maybe a month, thanks to a head cold, traveling, mental health days, and the election. It seemed to drag on at times…
Brag: …but I was covering for one teacher for 4 out of 5 days, and that allowed me to get to know one group of students and have a set routine, including a free class period at the end of the day.
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, middle-school reading, the show that has me howling with laughter every episode, and more!
