Work trip highlights: 1) A trio of outstanding sessions w/ thoughtful & intellectually generous historians. 2) Dinner with Middle Zelda & boyfriend at one of their favorite restaurants.  3) So many work trips are solitary, so it was nice to have dinner/present/hang out with my excellent colleagues.

Today, I saw an outrageously beautiful pair of earrings in a shop but did not buy them, as I am about to pay spring tuition for 2 college students. Then I arrived home to find that my MIL sent me $ for XMas - the exact amount the earrings cost. I think the universe is trying to tell me something. 🥰

Listen a prestige drama with actually good costumes about the wars of the roses would rule but what the world really needs is a single camera sitcom about the Pastons or a cringe comedy about Margery Kempe. #medievalsky
