Summary
Jacqueline overhears two energy healers talking shit about a third. Ego versus essence. Not everyone spends their time in the aisles of self-help. Admiring angry. A decorative rug in the bathroom versus an absorbent stone. When ginger chews took a town by storm. Milkshake on a long car ride. Kate needs a burger twice a month. Burning $500 in the woods is an active sacrifice. Is hot sauce humor the lowest form of expression. Jacqueline invents a robe with two buttons. High school Kate goes to The Price Is Right. When a mood becomes a temperament that becomes a personality. Empowered by an EpiPen. Shower steamers are of interest. Lavender is unexpectedly polarizing? Running the bath once you’re in it. Favorite all time bath product? Water.
