Ah, Fridays! The sweet anticipation of the weekend ahead after a long, hard week. But what makes this particular Friday different? Well, it started with treating myself to something I’ve been needing for a while—some good old-fashioned pampering. After days of deadlines, emails, and the general grind, I […]
So, apparently, dictionaries have been playing kingmaker for words, declaring some the Word of the Year. And, I’ve been opining on them for the last decade. Why not? For 2024, brace yourselves for “brain rot” and “demure.” The first one I get—because let’s be honest, we’re all a […]
