I've been subscribed to Pop Culture Happy Hour Newsletters for a while. I've read the latest one about facing another new year, and I'm loving it more than ever. https://view.nl.npr.org/?qs=971e820f0677dd8c88fdadf184ea1a067844a60e149dd89312b516aa8b46342270b6a1b899c1a4ea80b8c55f8a81b3b6998c6774ad6d942cc3622d9337c0a693ec696589440eb8401ddb0995af65147f4d9971377cf259e1 https://view.nl.npr.org/?qs=971..

Clean my house. And enjoy g..
