Two Boomer Women lost some time lately with Agnes' move, so this episode was recorded Friday right before they poured drinks and recorded Pissed on Podcast (hence the references).
The move is done - no catastrophes but that doesn't stop them from discussing the subject.
Agnes' new client is blind - let's ponder that concept, which segues nicely into care facilities.
Covidiots and buses, hot dogs are monster meat.
Is Facebook a spoiled brat?
What's to be done about over-authoritarian authority?
Just another conversation with Two Boomer Women!

Agnes is moving.
Mar Sulaika has been without internet for 36 hours.
Does COVID make English school even more important?
Mar Sulaika makes a fashion statement when she finds herself without a mask!!!
"tired" reigns supreme today.
Discussions around POP - either Agnes does't explain things well, or Mar Sulaika had her Luddite cap on... but on to a real POP subject: drinks of choice (there's something about meeting late afternoon)
Mar Sulaika questions Agnes' organization around the move.... hahahahaha!!!!!
Finally, the "move to" of choice given we may be mid-60s but we still see possibilities - hope you can identify.

As Agnes chats with Michelle, it becomes apparent that no matter what we name the generations, the story for many women doesn't really change. Some of the circumstances may look different but the commonalities are there.
Michelle is a Gen-X-er who had a great career but, after the birth of twins, realized the income that remained at the end of the month if she went back to work was paltry... and add that fact to the heartache of leaving babies in the care of another woman - she decided to be a stay-at-home mom.
So many of us can identify with all the stages of personal reflection and evaluation that mothers go through... if the story of this woman isn't quite the same as our Boomer-story, Michelle might be your daughter... she's worth listening to for that reason alone! (She's worth listening to for a bunch of reasons but you know what I mean!)
