I was really crushing on a coworker until he came in wearing a magenta suit looking straight out of the Steve Harvey collection. Immediately no. Any ounce of thirst dried completely up. Cuz where are you going and why was that in your closet????

My kid was in town this last week to “check on my old people” (not me, my mama nem). We didn’t do a lot while she was here but it was so good to see her every evening & just be in her presence. I almost cried when I dropped her off at the airport but she looked at me like

I hate that you can’t livestream TCM or that they don’t have a standalone app. The “channel” they have on HBOMax or Max or whatever it is now shows the “classics” but not our classics.

I work in a residential facility & I’m hiding in my office because 2 kids didn’t go to school today and they’re Ms Lisa-ing me to death. “Ms. Lisa, do you really have a meeting?” “Ms. Lisa, you know what you should do? Get me some Taco Bell.” “Ms. Lisa, what are we doing in group today?”

This little boy just showed up at my door with a Michigan shirt on so I jokingly said he couldn’t get any candy because this is an Illinois house. So he says he’s a crybaby because Michigan fans are and once he gets the candy he starts shouting out every other Big 10 team.

I went to a masseuse who’s also a certified stretchologist (that ain’t the proper word but that’s what I’m going with). That lady turned me every which way but loose. Talking about, “sis, you gotta relax.” Sorry, lady, you got me folded up like a pretzel, it’s a little hard to relax.
