Hello, this is Trish Halpen, and I'm Lorraine Candy, and we're the hosts of Postcards from Midlife,

the podcast where we help women to live a magnificent midlife, and right now we're being sponsored by Boots.

Boots has products, services and advice to help you take control of other 40 signs and symptoms of

the menopause. From sensitive skin, bladder weakness, joint pain and hot flushes, to anxiety,

insomnia and a loss of confidence. Boots are here with you, preparing you with knowledge and

empowering you to feel your best every step of the way. Is it Boots.com, Fords, Slash, Menopause,

hyphen support for more information? Right laptop, I'm ready to finish this thesis. What thesis?

The one I've spent two years working on. Don't have it. What's the last version you saved?

Got final version, final final version, and no, I'm actually serious now. This is the last version

I will never save another version I promise, version two. Surely that one? No. Why? It's corrupted.

Ah! Swap! Ah! For when you upgrade to an acochrome book, they come with Google Drive built in

so you'll never lose a file again. And save. Already saved. Oh, thanks. Saved it again.

Good morning, what an all and welcome back to the damage. What I'm John at Earl. Today is a

Tuesday. We missed Wednesday. One of those rare things that doesn't happen nearly enough where

there was a holiday. And I hope that you all had a good holiday, I guess. I went to Santa Barbara.

I had oysters and I had corn beef hash. It was very nice holiday. It was very refreshing,

good for mental health and wellness and all of that. I hope that you were able to relax a little

bit if you were lucky enough to actually get that time off. And if not, I hope that in some form

our show will help to rejuvenate you. Anyway, thanks for being here. In a little bit,

we're gonna have Francesca Fierriantini who's gonna be joining us. She's normally here on

Mondays. We didn't want to deny her the first crack at the news coming out of the weekend.

And there is a lot of news that we're gonna be talking about actually in a little bit. Joe Biden
