My January 2022 petty grievance: my husband’s wordle strategy is insane and yet he consistently guesses in fewer guesses than me.

@MO_242 Take care of yourself!! This is just awful.

@AskTSA I have precheck through global entry, but it seems to have disconnected - have a flight on United tomorrow, entered known traveler number, no precheck. Help?

@VailResorts help. I sat in line for 3 hrs to reserve my days. Went to log in and was locked out of my account. Called and got message to use chat function, which I can’t because I’m locked out. Extremely frustrated.

True neutral for the long + chaotic evil for the short 🚀😬. That I am truly baffled by the lawful good method here probably says more than anything else.

@jesszen I went for a regular cleaning. Everyone in the office was n-95 masked up, virtual waiting room, felt very sanitary. I’ve been pretty wary about going out, but I felt okay about it.

@OccasioGW Could you reach out to me at [email protected]? Looks interesting.

Ooh. This is exciting. Relatedly, are hand rolls the most undersung sushi offering? I am extremely pro temaki. https://t.co/ASmXvW9iUH

Also my approach to the airplane sparkling wine, no matter how low-rent.

Imagine being on a plane and NOT eating every item presented to you as if you will never again have ready access to food in your life

[Laura Shunk @laurashunk]

@jiatolentino Also my approach to the airplane champagne.

I think what @pete_wells does brilliantly here is separate ritual from value. There's value in ritual, but how much? I miss lingering Friday lunches over burgers and martinis at Luger -- but do I actually miss the food? Not so sure. Wowza. https://t.co/qt8O0DVCip

I reject the notion of sad girl, party of one -- dining alone has long been one of my greatest pleasures. Pleased to pass along my thoughts to the @denverpost https://t.co/uCA4K9bpWw

Valet asked for my claim check and I gave him my IUD replacement card, if you’re wondering how my week is starting.
