Hello, Sunday.
How are you? I’ve moved on from holiday movies, and have fallen deep into the part of Netflix that is taking me back to high school. You know, the movies that are this generation’s version of 10 Things I Hate About You or She’s All That. Watching these movies through a 37-year old lens makes them equally enjoyable (and perhaps very lucky that I went to high school during the tech-free years that I did). It also made me realize that the super cute guys featured in the movies akin to Heath Ledger and Freddie Prince, Jr. are, in fact, 17 years younger than I am. Yeesh. I’d also like to note that this glamorized version of high school was not the one that I lived in, nor really ever desired to live in, but it is fun to watch nonetheless.
In case you also want to fall in this rabbit hole, I recommend To All The Boys I Loved Before, The Kissing Booth and Sierra Burgess is a Loser.
The internet can also be a rabbit hole on these lazy days. Here’s what I found down my trip down it:
As we step closer to a new year, my vision board is ready and so are my intentions. I recently bought a photo that said Don’t Quit Your Daydream as a daily reminder that belief in your dreams is what makes them reality. I’m thinking Ms. Rowling will attest to that.
Solving a problem, one step at a time, from the top down. BCBS of Tennessee is removing Oxycontin as a covered drug, and instead is now starting to cover acupuncture. Progress.
If people talked to other professionals they way they talked to teachers. Food for thought.
As I sit typing this with my left hand only because Crawley DEMANDS that he hold my right (pictured above), I laugh to myself and think about how I’m okay being this kind of alone. 25 Famous Women on Being Alone.
Remember that everyone has it rough sometimes. Even men.

Trump, Santa, and the Power of Collective Delusions.
Did you know there is a paper shortage?
For a laugh: Recreating Reese Witherspoon.
