Them: So, how's writing going?

Me: ...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you put on a screen protector without issue one time, you will fail spectacularly the next. 📱

Well, my credit card company isn't being at all helpful. So, best of luck to everyone.

Scoop: Subscription box Alltrue (formerly Causebox) is going out of business—and it’s a mess. Customers never got orders they already paid for and the company’s small business partners say they are owed nearly $2 million https://t.co/STauPTQNv3

@laurenmichbrock That's what it's showing for my spring box, too.

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

@j_booms Same. I auto-renewed back in November. I found out I was lucky to have even received the winter box. Hope you're able to get your money back. I've filed a claim with my credit card company. 🙃

Thus begins that anxiety-ridden time of year where I fret about turning in my taxes on time while simultaneously doing everything I can to put off completing them.

During today's morning commuteー

Me [thinking]: Let's try for a "We Don't Talk About Bruno"-free day, shall we?
Radio: Next up, Encanto's hit song, "We Don't Talk About Bruno"!
Me [nervous laughter, hand never leaving the steering wheel]: Tomorrow then.

Left my @passion_planner at home today. It's going as well as can be expected...

Reasons why my back hurts, no. 38:

I laughed too hard at a joke.

Two years later and I still wish it was mandatory...

I wish it was mandatory to list the salary range on job postings.

Starts watching Nancy Drewー
Expectation: Maybe a mini mystery per episode solved by my favorite childhood sleuth who loves debunking the supernatural.
Reality: Ghosts. So many ghosts. And at least one adult saying every episode, "I'm sorry. You're saying a ghost did this?"

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

Me, still at work and unable to watch #MareOfEasttown, seeing everyone having issues getting the HBO Max app to work to watch the finale. Sorry, guys.

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

Family finished episode five of #MareOfEasttown... we are doing as well as can be expected.

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

Every time I see the American Edge Project's "High Stakes" commercial, I think I'm watching something Better Off Ted's Veridian Dynamics would be peddling.

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

Delivery Companies: For the love of... We're overwhelmed and you can expect delays. Spare us from more orders, please!
Goods Companies: There's STILL time to order for Christmas! We PROMISE. Order today!

[Laurel 🌸 @laurelwhowrites]

Discovered @hbomax has season 2 of BBC Ghosts. Happy Friday the 13th!

"He interrupted me and I'd like to finish, please. Thank you" is the name of the drink every woman in America is making right now and raising to her TV.
