Two seperate gastro viruses going through the family. I sprained my ankle really badly, while on a run.

It was too similar to White Lotus but without any of the charm. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: Finished season 5. Genuinely funny show with great character development. English Teacher: Cute comedy. Loved it. I’ve been watching Brian Jordan Alvarez on TikTok for years. Only Murders in the Building Season 4: Not as good as Season 3, but this show is still my favourite comfort watch.
