Monday Tuesday

My sweet mom always refers to the work day after a Federal Holiday as a "Monday Tuesday."

You know. Your brain logically knows the day of the week is Tuesday but it feels like a Monday. Particularly if you work in a bank like she does. Some people had been overdrawn since 4:00 a.m. Sunday, and were chomping at the bit to get in to discuss it with the bank manager pronto this morning. I'm assuming.

In some ways, today has been a "Monday Tuesday" for me.

Well, really just in one way.

I sneezed a little bit ago and my assistant blessed me.

I immediately had to tell her, "Definitely just peed right then, more than a little." And went to the ladies room to blow my nose and assess the damage.

It wasn't pretty.

But, it'll dry. I'll survive.

It's just a face palm, though. My gyno keeps telling me I should try pelvic floor therapy, but I want to tell her where to go that my pelvic floor and all my areas are "strong like bull" and that I don't need it.

In every other way, this has been a fine Tuesday.... Okay, I did get ibuprofen lodged behind my tonsil this morning, and, in fairness, just now almost choked to death on iced coffee.

But,

1) I went to therapy this morning and got to talk about myself for an hour.

2) I get to go to my 20 year reunion-committee-planning-dinner tonight and talk about my pet project for at least an hour.


And, this completes the conversation regarding today - which is a "Monday Tuesday."

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before
