| The plants are trying to ruin my life. Yes, I'm talking about allergies. And, honestly, with all that plants must endure (getting pruned, eaten, having to live outside when it's too cold or too hot, etc.), I'm glad they're showing a little initiative and speaking up for themselves. But if someone has any extra Claritin they can send over, please do let me know. Feeling like I have ingested a hairball-sized pellet of pollen when I wake up every morning is putting a bit of a damper on the soak-up-the-sun Sheryl Crow attitude I'm trying to cultivate. Today's headlines cover all the bases, from sea turtle nesting in Florida to a group of chefs who are hosting food events to advocate for AAPI justice to the best alcoholic popsicles (behave!) and finally… fishing gear essentials! I am off to purchase a hooded bubble face shield with an attached infinity scarf neck pillow. Oh, the wonders of human ingenuity! Ciao, - Ned Riseley, Senior Copywriter |
