With the winter solstice behind us, it seemed like the weather and my mood changed overnight. I don’t have to wear several layers plus my gown while indoors, the sun is up when I wake up and my case of wine I ordered during level 2 arrived. I am so excited for 2020 2.0. It’s like a new year that starts in July coz ‘Rona. And it all starts this Wednesday.
Call me Sweet Corn, because I'm going to come through all this shit intact.

If you’re looking for some new podcasts to check out, I made a list here of story, true crime and just plain interesting podcasts. Recently I listened to Even The Rich and learned all about the Murdoch family.
Another thing I listened to was about the race to grow the world’s hottest chilli pepper. There is more drama in this than a telenovela. If you sign up for Audible, you get access to 6 Audible originals every month. This was one of them. I share an Audible account with my mom (and by share I mean I pay nothing).
Is now a good time? Now seems like a pretty good time
And if you’re wondering if now is a good time to start doing what you’ve always wanted to, this chart by Tim Urban from Wait But Why, puts things into perspective.
