Driving in Texas next week and the toll explanations are confusing. My car is still registered to my old address in Oxford so I won’t be getting a bill. I can allegedly pay online but not immediately?

I got so mad at local rent prices last week that I actually made an appointment with a mortgage lender for next week. Then my friend told me that his annual homeowner’s insurance has increased by two thousand American dollars since he bought his place 8 years ago. Appointment canceled.

I don’t miss much about Oxford (except my friends) but I miss Volta’s gyros and High Point Coffee. I have eaten a whole lot of gyros in a lot of different places but I feel I will never have a gyro as good as Volta’s, and I miss having a go-to coffee shop.

When I moved to MS in April 2025, I didn’t know how the state was managing opioid settlements. Turns out, a lot of the public didn’t either. Even the state’s recovery advocates, many who had suffered from the opioid epidemic, didn’t know much about the money.

I’ve been divorced for 11 years, with no real romantic involvements at any point since. I rarely mourn what could be. I regret my annoyance when my friends hard launch a new relationship when the ink is still wet on their divorce papers. Like, y’all couldn’t wallow in one single lonely night?
