Hi everyone, welcome back to Bad on Paper Podcast. I'm Becca Freeman.

And I'm Olivia Mentor. I'm going to you live from Boston. Olivia's in her kitchen.

I am. And it's another single light above my head. And it's another edition of Three Things,

which has kind of become one of my favorite episodes to record every month. Yeah, it's definitely the most fun.

Olivia, I have some things for you. I also have some things. Unfortunately, I asked before we started recording if she had a game for me and she doesn't, but I'll live.

No game. It's okay. It's okay. Next time. Before we get into it, though, let's do some highs and lows. Tell me you're high.

My high is that I finally bought a little table for our backyard. I've been like putting off buying any outdoor furniture because I'm like a Facebook marketplace fiend now.

It's like how I spend all my time. So I'm determined to get things secondhand. But I finally just gave in and bought this little patio set from lows.

And it has been so nice just to sit outside and drink my coffee in the morning or work turns out it's really helpful to have a table when writing or typing.

You don't say it's been it's been great. Yeah, you know, it's funny. Your lap just doesn't work the same way, although it doesn't allow me to get into that sea shape that we talk about so much, the hunching, the quality of the photo of it all.

Yes, unfortunately, I am in Boston and I'm in a hotel and I'm sitting at the desk right now and right next to the desk is a mirror. So I have a front row seat to my terrible posture this week. And every time I look over, I terrify myself.

Yeah, mirrors are just not our friends sometimes, but it's helping you sit up straighter. No, I don't know if you can tell right now, but I'm like in my most sea shaped sea. I'm just not looking.

I support you either way, whatever's comfortable, you know, I also saw that you had a new development your yard that you've cherries.

Yes, we have a cherry tree, which like I knew we had a cherry tree because there was blossoms. It's like, oh, cherry blossoms. And then for some reason, the connection that there would then be cherries one day did not did not compute in my brain, but they're there. It's weird.

It feels it feels like a trick because they look kind of fake. So I'm like, do we eat these? I don't know. This is how you felt. Definitely.

I have no idea. But I'm excited. I love your continuous discoveries in the garden of what's there.

Thanks. We were doing some work in the garden. I found something. It's like an old piece of something. I can't figure out what it is, but I've been waiting for treasures to appear in the ground. So anyway, we'll report back.

Maybe it's a skeleton from a dead body. And now you're going to solve a mystery.

I can't confirm it's not a bone. I would know. I think I'm dead.

Okay, just suggesting.

What's your high?

Okay, so my high is that I'm in Boston. I'm on a eight day trip here.
