    Thursday Things

    Edgar James

    1. I jammed my finger killing a spider yesterday. It’s all puffy and bruised. I haven’t done that since I played basketball in middle school. Oy.
    2. My friend Kristen and I booked a room on the Golden Girls Cruise for next year! I can’t believe in just 368 days we’ll be setting sail from Miami in our finest silk nightgowns.
    3. I finally bit the bullet and put Edgar on anti-anxiety medication. Of course, the day after I did that he wound up in the emergency vet on an un-related issue. He’s just gotta be difficult. (And is doing just fine now, thankfully.)
    4. As my wedding bouquet finally and completely gives out, I’m aching for the smell of fresh lilacs in spring. Anyone else?
    5. And right after typing that, I clicked on this post from Jessica. The first pic? Lilacs! Omg. Spooky. Her words were also so necessary for me to read.
    6. Elise got me this pin for Galentine’s Day and it’s perfection. Duke's or death.
    7. Podcast things: MFM will never get old. FTCF (if you know, you know). The PenPals read my letter a few episodes ago! Go listen! It's under the title "Midwestern Grandma." And Jason Mantzoukas may be my very favorite guest on any show I listen to.
    8. Carhartt makes leggings now! Mine should be arriving today and I cannot wait to try them on!

        I haven't been on one in years and tbh, I didn't have a great time on the last one. Hopefully this experience is better!

          My first to the Bahamas was better than my second, which was to Mexico.
