Friday Bitch & Brag
December 27, 2024 - The Post-Christmas Confusion Edition: dry skin, practical gifts, and much needed time off
Access to The Corinne Channel is for paid subscribers and features a roundup of what I’ve been consuming over the past week, from eats & drinks to media. It’s included at the end of each Friday Bitch and Brag.

It’s Friday the 27th, right? Where the hell did the year go?! Let’s circle up!
Bitch: HM sprained his ankle pretty bad a few days before Christmas and was so damn stubborn about not asking for help with anything. But while he was away visiting family…
Brag: …I cleaned up the coffee table in the living room, washed some bedding he’d left in the laundry room, then I folded and put it away. I figured the best gift I could give HM would be taking care of small tasks that can often feel huge when you’re in physical pain. (He’s doing much better now.)

Bitch: The season of dry skin is in full force and finding the right combination of products to deal with the worst of the flaking and tightness is always a challenge.
Brag: I did some baking at the beginning of the week: an apple pie with homemade lattice crust for Pops and Mari. Pretty proud of how it turned out.

Bitch: In another week I return to Wagstaff and I don’t understand why they couldn’t just give us an extra two days so that we start on January 6. I’m praying for heavy snowfall to begin around 5 pm on January 1.
Brag: I’m getting a chance to rest, snuggle up with Rooney, and focus on what’s next in 2025 without feeling like I don’t have time to do any of those things. I also get time to reorganize and declutter, write, and have fun—not necessarily in that order.
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, one of the dumbest movies ever, tasty holiday breakfasts, and more!
