My birthday is on Monday, so I'm writing this early in preparation for max long weekend enjoyment. My husband has some kind of mystery overnight hike planned that we'll have finished by the time you read this unless a bear has attacked us, which is not
My life has been boring in a good way, so here are some hot takes from the past week in pop culture, entertainment, politics, whatever pops into my head:

Remember when I said my brain was melting? It's because I decided to try Wellbutrin, which, by the time I discontinued it, made me feel like I was teetering on the edge of psychosis. When the dose increased after the first week, I barely slept for 10 days

* Edith Wharton's house (The Mount)
