Lately, I’ve been loving people who say, “Once you hit your mid-40s.” I love them because I’m almost 50, and they think I’m younger than them. 🥰

Being an educator freaks me out because I never just woke, moments before my alarm, on Monday mornings thinking about what to reference during each lecture. Ugh.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

If you're bummed about Jewel "selling out" by performing at the RFK Jr inaugural ball, recall that in 2012, she rewrote one of her songs as a tribute to Walmart & performed it at their annual sales meeting, cashing in on Walmart $$$.

My Turquoise Eyes is a vintage 1976, but a classic 49 today. We met at random and while finding ourselves, I’ve realized how much My Coffee Boy has retaught me more about what I love and what I can ever do. Today, the planets align. You are perfect, Mr. BlueEyes!
Happy Birthday!
