Thank you for the previews! I feel ready and raring to go! Also: I really hope that Johnny and Tara aren't among the first to go on The Traitors, because I'm really counting on their presence on the show to help fill the void between Nationals and the Olympics.

This event could be WILD! Here’s hoping for no surprises except what Johnny’s wearing, and hopefully better commentary than at Skate America

Amen on the commentary. Bracing myself for the irritation of commercials.

Got the kids and myself a cheapie “One Question a Day” journal and it’s working for me! Keeps me from giving up on journaling bc it’s onerous and I miss days then feel bogged down. Hoping it will be a fun time capsule of change for my teens and help me build to a more substantial practice.

I know we’ll have plenty to talk about after Nats, but can we also discuss Tara and Johnny on Traitors starting Thursday??

I have to pop into church today and I might literally light one candle for Jason and another for fair ice dance scoring.

I’m actually so excited about Traitors. That will be my post-Nationals treat. I’m hoping it’s worth writing about!

Worried Tara or Johnny will be gone right away since they love to break up a pair, but so looking forward to it.

I just devoured this and the NYT Ilia article back to back, reading most of it to my husband. As I finished, he asked, “Isn’t Ilia just a Russian-American skating Timmy Chalomet?” And damn, my mind, it is blown.

I am off to stockpile Diet Coke to stay awake here in the UK to watch this all in real time and devour your Insta thoughts. It’s the Super Bowl before the…other Super Bowl!

Woah. Your husband is so correct. Well done!

As always, I will send good vibes to Jason, and I’ll add some for Tomoki too. (Ilia doesn’t need my help; probably not anyone else’s either.)

I may have given up on Julia Cameron too soon; it won’t kill me to whine a little more….

I’ve only finished The Artist’s Way once. Every other time I try it, I peter off around Week 5. But I do actually like the morning pages.

You're writing, as always, sharp and hilarious!
