0:00.0	Hi, everyone back to Bad on Paper podcast. I'm Becca Freeman. And I'm Olivia Mentor. And it's Book Club Day. And we are talking about Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaughey. And I just finished it Monday. I'm very excited to discuss it. Me too. But before we get to that, let's do some highs and lows. Tell me about your high.
0:39.9	My high is that I'm going to Maine for the week next week. Kind of last minute, I just wanted to get out of the city.
0:46.2	I wanted to get out of my own space. I was telling you before we started recording this that I kind of

1:02.4	working during the day. So I'm like, maybe I can piggyback off their productivity. Sounds like a good

1:36.7	I want an ice cream cone.
1:38.1	Oh, that sounds good, too.
1:39.2	Yeah.
1:39.9	That sounds really good.
1:41.4	Okay, what about you?
1:42.2	What's your high?
1:43.1	My high is that I had this afternoon
1:46.5	this week. It's been just beautiful all week and I finished all my work and I just had this
1:51.7	substack essay kind of hanging over my head. I have been working ahead on substack stuff, but for this
1:57.2	week I just, I didn't know, but I sat outside. We have these, actually, we thrifted these lounge chairs, like Chase lounges over the winter.
