Exclusive for paid subscribers: the Corinne Channel is a roundup of what I’ve been reading, watching, and listening to over the past week. This list will be included at the end of each Friday Bitch and Brag.

It’s the most dysfunctional time of the year, so let’s circle up!
Bitch: AAA’s phone app will not let me pay my membership dues. Twice I have tried and gotten an unclear error message about “object not identified” or some nonsense. Guess I gotta go semi old school and pay on their website.
Brag: My new driver’s license showed up less than a week after I renewed it, and everything was correct. Of course this means I’ll wind up moving soon because that is how life works.
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 continue to be woefully behind in sewing and website updating for Busy Birdies Studio. Cross your fingers that I get everything done this weekend.
Brag: Last Saturday I went to a local shopping center and ran into a student who wore her mom's Metallica shirt to school a few weeks ago and yet couldn't name one of their songs, so I gave her a hard time. I met her mom and she knew the story and agreed that her daughter needs to know the music if she's gonna wear the shirts. A win for Gen X pop culture!

Bitch: With the colder temperatures in the morning and short daylight hours, it’s been difficult to get up on time. Rooney has taken to patting at my face, licking me, and occasionally biting to get me to wake up when the Google Mini announcement doesn’t do the trick.
Brag: I pass the holiday lights on the bridge every morning on the way to school and that bright, festive display makes me smile.
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, good bourbon, and more!
