Happy new year, Simone!

I can relate to periodically wondering if it’s crazy to spend so much time on writing I don’t get paid for. But I do love it.

Glad you’re piloting a new system and excited to hear how it pans out!

Happy New Year to you. For now, I'm still going. Week by week.

We the people (me) appreciate the free dose of Simone via newsletter. I hope the angst subsides!

What sparked the "My Apologies" section?

Happy New Year!

A belated thank you, Sandra. The apologies section is for all the errors I make in recommending things I don’t end up liking—or other gaffs I make along the way. When I lead you astray, I must come clean!

I love your letter, too! I just took the opportunity to go back and read all the issues I’d missed over the craziness of the holiday, and loved every. Single. One. I laughed out loud at the apologies section of this one. I follow virtually every IG recommendation (maybe all!), and pine over the products you recommend. Appreciate this so much, and would love to read it forever. No pressure. ❤️🤣🫠

If not May December, what was your favourite movie you watched in 2023? Doesn't have to be one that was released in 2023.

Tommy, I don't watch movies!

Should I be worried if I play the "what's for dinner?" game with myself?

Buying random stuff at the grocery store included.

Please look into the arc browser. It's fantastic.

Martin, I took a quick look at arc.net. I'm a bit dubious of trying something all new — learning another program. Do you think I can do it?

Without question, yes 😄

But I like that approach to filtering out new programs. Sounds peaceful to me. I should try that once

Your enthusiasm is contagious, Martin. Thanks for the reco!
