+Agua Mystica. I have owned exactly one body spray in the last 5 years. Something about having a baby that makes you not want to coat yourself in scent because all they do is breathe it in. So I stopped wearing whatever I'd been wearing after Wells was born. But a few years ago, pre-Sutton, I bought something coconut-y from Sephora and I used it in 2021 and, to me, it smelled like "Kansas and Covid" so I threw it out maybe a year ago. I saw this Sol de Janeiro scent on an Instagram reel and was intrigued. Instead of buying it at Sephora, I got it at the PX on the army base for like $6 less lol. It smells citrusy, but like at the beach.
They had so many scents that Wells went a little crazy spraying the samples and I went home and had to immediately take a shower.
+1923. I just watched two seasons in two weeks. No regrets. I had seen bits of 1883 here and there (I think Scott watched it) and I really don't like western-style anything because it's gruesome and depressing. However, 1923 is terribly gruesome and fraught were danger and trauma at every turn. Animal attacks, shipwrecks, drilling a hole into someone's head to relieve the pressure on a subdural hematoma...and so on. Maybe people didn't live as long back then because they continually made dumb choices. (I COULD NOT WITH THE CAR DRIVING WEST.) Alex stressed me out so much that I had to just google what happened at the end so I could watch in peace. Honestly, I didn't like her much but I did like Spencer and then I spent a lot of time deep in Dutton family trees online. It's evident when you look at a character like Alex or Elsa, you see where Beth gets her personality. And, honestly, can you believe that a slimy, cowardly reptile like Jamie came from Spencer's family line? Make it make sense.
I'll probably move back to 1883 and watch that next. Taylor Sheridan writes the best shows (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingston, Landman).
+Good news: the medicine I've been using on a plantar's wart took it right off my foot. Amazing and basically painless. It's prescription only, a combination of Aldara and salicylic acid. Super gross but it basically kills all the skin and you peel it right off. So I recommend using this if you're dealing with a similar ailment.
+I recommend reading your communications with the teacher before asking questions. For example, we had a field trip and I got multiple messages on a messaging platform asking about when/where. I simply scrolled 2 inches up the feed on my phone, took a screenshot of what I'd already sent them a few weeks ago, and resent it. Taking a screenshot of the feed and sending it back is a whole new level of passive-aggressive, I'm aware, but....I would be simply too embarrassed to ask my kid's teacher such questions when it was my responsibility to retain that information in the first place. Plus, it's a field trip within the school day: there's not a lot to know. Your kid still arrives and leaves at the same time.
Onto A Few Things You Cannot Make Me Care About:
The Karen Read trial. Stop. I don't care. I didn't care the first time when I saw the first trial go awry. I don't care about the conspiracy theories. I think she was drunk and accidentally hit her boyfriend. I feel awful for him and his niece and nephew but I don't care about her and the sensationalism. I felt the same about the Murdaughs. Terrible for the victims, I don't care about the trial.
Do not paywall your substack. Don't do it. I don't care if you're successful as a blogger or a writer or whatever. The internet is for free, the way God intended.
Influencer culture. We see through it. Everyone sees through it.
The Pope stuff. I don't care. It's not biblical.
