Having trouble logging into my account. Can I come by and pay stabling dues in person? Also, need to get Flea a new brush. He ate the last one. Most of it. Thanks.

Also, he doesn't like being stabled next to anyone but Stan. He's picky about friends. Not sure where he gets it from.

Question. Those of you with dreams. How do you know what's a capital D dream versus an overactive imagination?

EMBRY

I got my shipment from the Wine of the Month Club if you want to share a bottle before the excitement really begins.

Also, we were right. I don't know whether or not we should high five ourselves.

MEHDI, added later

I know we talked about wanting kids one day and that we're on the same page where that's concerned. When you imagine it, though, when do you imagine it?

FILTERED TO STELLA, ANGIE, EMBRY - after lunch

You know what's a hilarious thought? Me being a politician's wife. I mean, me being a politician's girlfriend is kind of a humorous thought on its own, but here we are.

Anyway, it turns out I'm going to be one, after some time as a politician's fiancée.

FILTERED TO TALLY

Hey, you. How are you?

I don't know if you knew this, Dunhaven, but today is apparently National Spouse's Day. I didn't know this was a thing, probably because I am behind on most things thanks to things like Homework and Reading and Wanting To Be A Doctor. However, if there is one thing that I can get behind, it's a holiday that celebrates spouses. And while every day might be Appreciate Your Spouse Day in the McKinnon household, I'm all here for sprinkling on a little extra love and attention to mine.

Because, I don't know if you knew this, but my husband is amazing. He's smart and he's funny and he's talented beyond all reason, but he's also kind and compassionate and the best sort human that any human could strive to be. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have not only caught his attention when we were fourteen-year-old nerds, but that he still loves me so entirely now that we're 22-year-old nerds. Getting married at 18 might not be the right choice for everyone, but it certainly was for us and I'm happy every day that we were impulsive.

SO anyway. I love you, Miles. 🤟🏾

Okay, now everyone go off and appreciate their spouses, too. Or your significant others. Or your pets. Or your friendly local pizza delivery guy. I don't know, just spread the love because the world can't have enough of that, as far as I'm concerned.

Happy Lunar New Year!

I only know a handful of things about my surrogate mother, but one of the things I do know is that she was Korean American, her family having originally come from Busan. I became interested in learning more about that side of my heritage once I was old enough to really understand that it different from the rest of my family and my dads were really supportive and helpful in letting me explore it. There is still a lot that I haven't experienced and someday I am going to just jump in and plan that trip to visit South Korea, but until then I do what I can to embrace my heritage here, in whatever way I can.

And so, today that looks like making tteokguk and jeon! I've only made both a few times before, both to varying degrees of success, so any wishes of luck are appreciated. The recipes also make a lot, so if you're looking to try something new, my kitchen is open.

All that said, I wish everyone a wonderful and satisfying new year. I hope it's full of new beginnings and overflowing happiness.
