Hello everybody and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbind books to get to their hearts with your hosts, me, it's Ariel, and me, Raylene.

Hello.

Hello.

How was your day? You just came off of a week off. How are you feeling? I mean, the week off was fine. I was honestly, I was kind of stressed about a work thing

that came up like right at the end of the day on Friday before I left. So I had this thing in

the head, in my head all week long,

and was just like kind of stressing about it.

And then it's currently Monday when we're recording right now.

We're recording a day later than usual.

And so like yesterday, Sunday was fine until 9.30.

I discovered that there was another work problem that my coworker didn't want to tell me about it in advance because she didn't want me to be worrying about a work thing, but I was like, shit. I was already worried about a different work thing. And so I kind of had a meltdown last night, but everything is fine now. I went to work and everything got sorted out. Oh, okay, good. But it was a really stressful, stressful a couple of hours for me last

night. Yikes. Yikes. But I'm feeling good now. I'm just a little exhausted from all the crying.

I think we've mentioned before that you work at a notary office, right? I think people know that.

So just for context, if people are like, what kind of high pressure job does Raylene have?

Pretty high pressure.

It actually is stress.

And real estate and big money.

And wills and big money.

And listen, the story she tells me, hoo-ha.

Wow.

Ho-ha is correct.

It's a much more wild job today.
