Susie has had a busy two weeks with her daughters winning athletic AND academic awards; Christmas shopping and decorating; and all the parental things pre-holidays.

Ed has been working on his internal dialogue when it comes to interacting with his mother and has been actively working on not viewing the past with his mother as "owing" him something. Unfortunately, Ed has also been dealing with the loss of one of his childhood best friends who passed suddenly and has been having a hard time getting motivated to make content because of the impact it had on him since. In fact the days started to melt together and Ed got his days mixed up in a funny but embarrassing way. It is also the 1 year anniversary of Archie's adoption/gotcha day.

While Korean American influencers are traveling to South Korea at the same time as this historic event to attend the premiere of the second season of Squid Games while not joining in solidarity with the people of South Korea - at an event about a show about classism as there is a classist war happening in South Korea AND the United States.
