Let’s get through the bad news first: Josh was officially laid off on Sunday night and he was able to apply for unemployment on Tuesday (so many people are applying that NY state had to separate applications by … More Social Distancing Diaries: Vol. 2
Hello! Writing to you from my home office aka the “comic book table” at my apartment. As of today, Friday 3/20, I still have a job and I’m working from home (and now officially we’re called by the governor to STAY AT HOME). I do have the option to go to the office because the … More Social Distancing Diaries: Vol. 1
This was an absolutely amazing year. I got engaged!! I traveled A LOT more than I ever have. I flew to Europe, Richmond, VA, Seattle, WA, twice, and Canada, oh my!

Part of that reason is because I didn’t want to overspend. I was very conscious that … More My Experience with Ibotta
