Issue #55: Let's catch up.

Wedding dress shopping, funemployment, Fair Play, and a few more life hacks.

Hey! Aja here. My favorite part of hanging out with a friend usually happens a quarter of the way in — we’ve taken off our jackets, slipped our phones into our bags, told each other “Cute shoes!” and “I love this place.” We lean forward. How are you, actually? We mean it.

And that’s where our new paid subscriber series, The Catch-Up, comes in. Aliza and I are going to share the life updates, funny stories, and honest discussions that don’t quite fit into Monday’s links or Thursday’s deep-dives, like we were sitting at our favorite restaurant, and the conversation just got good.

So here goes… let’s catch up about funemployment, wedding planning, the domestic division of labor, and daily journaling — plus a few extras (like current life hacks and what we’re listening to while we write).

The start of my funemployment was, unequivocally, not fun.
