1. Good sit coms. So I finally took the time to tine into Ted Lasso, and it’s as good as everyone says. Not a big surprise. But I also want to give a shout out to Animal Control, a goofy office comedy that comes on Thursdays on Fox after The Next Level Chef (not my favorite Gordon Ramsay show, but I’ll still watch it). But Animal Control? It’s hilarious! You can tell just from the opening credits, with its nod to Monty Python, that it’s something special. But once you see these characters interacting with the animals, and with each other, you’ll see that it is not only funny, it’s genuinely sweet.
2. It’s Wrestlemania weekend, so we have been watching wrestling all weekend. It’s still going on now, so we haven’t yet seen Cody take down Roman Reigns (please, oh please, let Cody win!), but we did see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn take down the Usos. And I was very glad to see Rhea Ripley win the women’s belt with absolutely no help from those dudes wo have been hanging out with her. She didn’t win because someone else interfered. There were no shenanigans. There were just two athletes beating the crap out of each other until one won. It was an excellent result.
3. As it’s once again allergy season, and I am realizing that no matter what I do to try to breathe, no matter what I take, that there will be side effects. Take the decongestant? There’s a good chance I’ll end up with bronchitis. Don’t take the decongestant? I can’t sleep. Antihistamine? Wakes me up at 3 in the morning, and I lay awake for an hour trying to remember why I’m awake at 3 in the morning. But then I tried those nasal strips you can get. They stick to your nose, opening your airways so you can keep breathing all night? Are there side effects? Yes. I wake up with a weird imprint across my nose. But that I can totally live with. Especially since it means I can breathe and I can sleep. I can deal with some weird lines across my nose for a while the next day. I’m not sure who figured out that a simple strip of adhesive across your nose can help you breathe at night, but I am grateful!
