The Birch Show.

How's everyone doing?

I'm doing pretty good.

Yeah.

I had a really chill week off.

Like, I feel like everyone was traveling per usual and I just stayed right here in Atlanta

for a little bit.

I was in Tampa over the weekend real quick for some family stuff, but other than that,

I just kind of like, just had a little staycation, if you will, in my apartment.

Was it just killing time?

Did you hang out with friends? Did you guys go out?

Or was it solo? No, it wasn't killing time. Like I went out over the weekend. The first weekend we were off.

And then, you know, I just felt like I was really productive. Like when you have a week off, you

finally get to focus on the things in your personal life that you need to get done. Like my cat, Betty had to get spayed. So I had to take her to the vet and make sure she didn't, you know, die from surgery. Um, you know, I got to take like classes at my Pilates studio.

I don't typically get to go to. So it's like you kind of get to stop and not rush through life.

It's like you get to live your life, but without work in the way. So I get to like try out coffee shops in Atlanta and I typically don't get to go to.

And I get to, you know, try out the nail salon. I typically walk past because I, you know,

got to go home and finish my podcast or something. So it was nice. It's nice just being, uh, in town

without the pressures of time. Like because of this job and if you're up this early in the morning and you're listening to us live, chances are pretty good.

You having to get up this early in the morning is dictating what you do the night and the afternoon before because our schedule's so jacked up.

So when you have a week just to go kind of casually by yourself around Atlanta, man, there's a lot of joy in that.

A lot of freedom, baby. So it was great.
