There once was a woman who lived in a shoe.

A size too snug, but what could she do?

But that's not where her story ends.

Thanks to a little help from her Experian friends,

she got her score into much better shape

and relocated to a box fresh new place,

with room to grow and a mortgage to suit.

Now, she lives in a spacious four-bedroom cowboy boots.

Better your Experian credit score to help get mortgage ready. Experian, better your score,

better your story.

Hello, friends, and welcome to the mini-eddit from Edit Your Life. In these snack-size mini-episodes,

I answer your questions about everything from self-care to parenting, to relationships, to home,

and more. Think of me like that friend you text or call when you need a quick piece of

compassionate and candid advice. Send me your questions. Hello friends. It is time for October micro delights.

Let's get right to it. My first micro delight is a game. It is Pips from the New York Times.

So I wasn't sure about this one at first, given that spatial orientation has historically not

been my strong suit, but I love this game.

It's a really great counterpart thematically in the New York Times suite compared to word-oriented

games like strands, mini, and crossword, as well as numbers games like Sudoku. Another reason I like this game is that it is relatively quick, especially compared to

something like Sudoku, which I used to play a lot and would usually start in on at the medium

level.

It could sometimes be as quick as 10 minutes, but that was very rare for me.
