Time to get back to writing! This is just a fun story I wrote to send out to my family a couple of weeks ago after a memorable night with them. medium.com/@whimmer/five-min… #mediumwriter #medium

Five Minutes Chaos

A family night at the park unexpectedly turns into five minutes of screaming, laughing, chaos, and memory making.

It's official: Donald Trump is the: 1st man in the Oval Office to be impeached twice 1st man in the Oval Office to incite an insurrection 1st to lose the popular vote TWICE and now . . . the first to be INDICTED. But the media is missing the biggest reason this is so important: For the victims of Donald, this is finally some measure of justice. It's been a long time coming, but after everything Donald has put this country through, WE HAVE PREVAILED. I'll see you on my substack later (see below👇) with my take on how this impacts our country and me personally, but for now, let's take a minute to celebrate--we've all earned it. Drink Responsibly 😎

Tucker: The authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called male privilege. A lot of young men in America are going nuts. Are you surprised? A shockingly large number have been prescribed psychotropic drugs.

It’s time to play my nightly game of Amazon cart roulette where I put odd items in the cart and wait to see if my husband orders it or moves it to “buy it later.”

If you are hiking in a group and waiting for slower people to catch up, don't start walking again when they do catch up, because then you got a rest and they didn't. I think about this tip a lot, in many different contexts.

You know it was a good trip to Costco when you can’t sleep because you can’t decide what you want to eat for lunch tomorrow.

2020, What have you done to me? I just got tears in my eyes watching this because I haven't had a hug from my mom (who lives five minutes away) in almost a year.
