The Sunday Edition is Tuesday’s little sister—off-the-cuff updates I’d bring up over a coffee catch-up with a friend.

I’ll be writing much more about this soon, but yesterday was a big day: I rented a UHaul van and drove it to my ex’s house to finally divide our belongings. We had been putting the inevitable off for so long because I didn’t have the space, and he was happy to be able to use our furniture and cookware (and generous enough to store many things for me). Although it’s been a year since we split, the final undoing hit me hard. In the days leading up to it, the anticipation of the divide sat like a raincloud over me and left me in a funk, despite some really lovely moments this week… read on for some fall recs, an incredibly addicting podcast and pasta, and a chance to vote on the Morning Person book club kickoff!
