• We’re continuing our holiday movie binges, including some movies we’ve never seen before. This week we started How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and… this movie is scary and disturbing. Do children like it? I think it would have given me nightmares as a kid! We haven’t finished it yet.
  • We took a holiday movie break to watch the new sci fi film The Midnight Sky on Netflix last night. I thought it was well done but I just checked Rotten Tomatoes and apparently I’m in the minority there.
  • Is anyone else experiencing texting issues since the iPhone update (in Nov? Dec?). I am on a few group chats where my texts are no longer received or are received late, and I also do not receive texts. All of these chats include an Android user. It’s extremely annoying. It happens in non-group texts with Android users too, and I’ve heard it happens iPhone to iPhone too. Mica and I moved to Google Chat to avoid it.
  • A few weeks ago I was in Aldi near the produce, shopping for gold potatoes. I brought them up to my face mask to try to smell if any were rotten – I have bad luck there of always getting one rotten one in my bag. Another shopper asked me if that was how you’re supposed to shop for potatoes. It was so sweet and sincere! I told them why I was trying to smell them, and warned them about the potatoes and how there’s usually a smashed apple in the bags of apples too. Then I saw them bringing a bag of the tiny potatoes up to their mask to smell and chuckled and said usually there is not a rotten one in the bag of small ones. Long story long, it was cute they thought I knew wtf I was doing because I really don’t.

  • I found out this week that I’m starting my new work role on January 18th. It feels far away but it’ll be here soon enough!
