Finding The Cheese
Send us a text
The plan was simple: no plan at all. We hit record with nothing but caffeine, a messy outline, and a promise to tell the truth about the season we’re in. What unfolded is part comedy of errors, part love letter to the places and people that made us, and part survival guide for anyone trying to balance grief, money, and a little joy.
We start on the surface—fountain drink alchemy, reusable cups, and office rules that ban heaters and humidifiers—then slide into the heart of the week: helping move parents out of a house that holds three decades of memories. There’s a neighbor’s hug that undoes us, deli ham preserved by a cold truck, and the now-legendary cheese discovered in a box labeled “bathroom.” Also a cat with nervous poops, because of course. Between jokes, we talk about how leaving a home means leaving a version of yourself, and how nostalgia hits hardest when the rooms are finally empty.
From there, it gets quieter and a little eerie. A purse falls on its own. Movement flickers at the edge of vision. Is it stress, a trick of the light, or the kind of presence you feel when someone you love is gone but still near? We compare notes, set aside fear, and land on a practice: name it, breathe, and let the moment be kind rather than creepy. Then we rejoin the living—football in rival bars, a soft spot for Eminem, and sticker shock over concerts and the Sphere—before mapping a Disney trip with motion sickness fixes and a browse-everything-before-you-buy strategy to keep our budgets intact.
If you’re navigating moving parents, packing chaos, ghost stories that might just be grief, or the impossible math of joy versus money, pull up a chair. We’ll give you laughter, permission to feel weird about it all, and a few practical paths: bring the blanket to work, set spending boundaries you can actually keep, and save room for the detours.
