It's actually pretty ridiculous that the prince in this Hallmark movie didn't immediately see our best friend character and fall in love with her.
I get it, she's not the lead and she's wearing GLASSES!

But at least Spring approaches.

Alert: There will be new The Way Home episodes next month!
Making this the final season seems right.

Last season, as much as I was enjoying it, I was a little like "hmm what are we doing this season, just kind of running around through time? why?"

Ok but resting doesn’t mean staying up late watching a hallmark movie…heh but maybe it’s what I want to do.

What if I just got up later this week until I feel better.
Why make everything so hard? Why not rest a little more, especially when there’s a time change to adjust to.
Most people go in at 9. It’s fine.
There are no awards for going in early (except you get to leave earlier).

Ma’am can you stop yelling, this is a Hallmark movie and you make cupcakes.

Welcome back, you’re sick AND here’s your period.
Are you serious?

I was so spoiled by the conference breakfasts this past week.
Now I’m at home like β€œwhat do you mean there’s no bacon?”

Yeah there’s not much food of any kind at the house tbh

I think you and I need to stop meeting up at 3am on bluesky, as nice as it is to know someone else is awake ;)

There was a storm and that kept me up for a while. Otherwise I’m not sure why I’m still awake.
Cold meds doing something funny to my system?

I don’t think staying up all night is how you’re supposed to manage daylight savings.

I can’t tell if my Mom just likes to talk about Daylight Savings every year or if she’s trying to remind me, as if I don’t have access to a calendar.

Me usually: I’m an adult, paying taxes, going to conferences and stuff…

I saw a really unflattering photo of me at the conference from last week.
That coupled with my surprise at being so out of shape when going up stairs.
Bummed. I thought I was doing ok with the workouts.

Uh, so I’m fine now? (I think).
My bathroom floor is now cleaner than it’s been in a while.
That was an adventure.

I’m going to say you often don’t have time to decide where to do these things. So cough/vomit up phlegm on the floor and pee in the toilet it was.

That is not to say I didn’t do the opposite a few minutes later.

β€œAt least I’m not also shitting”, I said to myself and then laughed/coughed more

07.03.2026 04:02 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Well that was a lot.
This is gross and a massive overshare.

So I’ve got a little bit of conference crud. I didn’t think it was that bad but there’s some coughing and congestion. It took a turn this evening when I went to the restroom.
I was peeing and coughing up phlegm at the same time.

I don’t want to wait until bedtime to make out with my bed. Post trip nap.

I don’t often get problems with my ears on planes but I have today.
I understand why babies on planes cry now. Ouch!

This movie probably isn’t as good as you remember.

That’s not why I’m turning it off though, it’s been a long week of travel and I’m beat.
