Day 31 (!!): March 31, 2024
Wow. Happy last day of slicing (for March) (in 2024). I’ll be back. In true last day fashion, I had so many moments today that my mother and I could barely decide what I should write about. Today, my grandmother met us at our house at one so we could drive to Worcester to meet…

Day 30: March 30, 2024
My dad whoops and hollers as the dogs howl and whine. UConn continues on their madness mashing of teams, tonight’s victim being Illinois. My grandmother came over for grilled pizza and the games, and she brought her dog with her. One of our dogs, Winnie, is not chill. She is manic; she has anxiety; she…

Day 29: March 29, 2024
A quick rewind moment: It’s June 2023, Julia had just taken the MCATs, our parents were in Africa, and I had come home to help out with the dogs and make sure Julia was eating while she studied. After the test, we decided we needed a nice celebratory dinner. We chose a restaurant called Bricco’s.…

Day 28: March 28, 2024
A Pre-Obituary for someone we all know… I’ve read slices the last few days that have resonated with me deeply, from Jess’s lantern post, Stephanie’s reflections on a podcast, mgminer’s from yesterday, my mom’s yesterday, and several others of course. I’ve also been surrounded by an odd amount of death lately – I’m blaming the…

Day 27: March 27, 2024
Growing up, I had horrible nails. Now, some of this (potentially most) was my own fault, as I was constantly picking at them. I hate cuticles; I hate the feeling of extra skin growing in the gaps where my nail meets. It gives me a feeling of claustrophobia. I also hate wearing jackets, so there…

Day 26: March 26, 2024
While in Denver, I subjected my dear friend to her first Solid Core class. For those that may not know, Solid Core is a weird form of pilates that focuses on getting you in second stage muscle failure as much as possible. It’s slow and controlled, so at first glance, you’re pretty confident. By the…

Day 25: March 25, 2024
I received an email this morning with the subject, “Sad News.” A mother of a close coworker had passed. The email asked for prayers. I received a text last week with sad news. My best friend’s fiance’s mom unexpectedly passed. My other friend texted back that she was praying for them. How nice it would…

Day 24: March 24, 2024
It was decided for me that I just HAD to get to the airport early to experience the new Capital One lounge in Denver. Is that exciting? Of course. Did I have to get here for over an hour? No. I flew through security with only one caveat, which, although I lost what I purchased…

Day 23: March 23, 2024
No one slept last night on account of desert dryness. We got back to the apartment today and all collapsed in a haze on the couch. After nearly an hour of silence, we all realized we had made dinner plans; people were invited over for dinner and games. We had to either cancel or rally.…

Day 22: March 22, 2024
We told Katie and Meg they could go take a ripper run and we would meet them at the bottom of the slopes. They very hesitantly agreed after triple checking that the two of us would be okay on the “family beginner run.” Are you SURE you won’t get lost? Are you SURE you’ll make…
