  • You know, as a busy mom, there are lots of ways you can help yourself fall asleep.

  • You could stare blankly at the ceiling and replay every conversation you've ever had.

  • Count sheep, have a debate with your pillow, give up caffeine, try acupuncture and buy a weighted blanket that will make you sweat profusely.

  • Or you could try some milk, which has nutrients that support healthy sleep.

  • Visit gonnaneedmilk.com for more info.

  • And for everyone's sake, please don't give up caffeine.

  • Hello everyone.

  • I'm sure you're very surprised to be hearing from me today, especially with content that has absolutely, and I can promise you this, nothing to do with the US Election, because I am recording this intro on Monday and I recorded the episode you're about to listen to last week.

  • So if you have election fatigue, regardless of how that whole thing turned out, be yeah, nice to know that there's none of that happening here.

  • I'm bringing you this special off season Sentimental garbage simply because this was an opportunity that was too good to pass up.

  • If you've listened to the podcast closely over the summer, you might remember that several times, and also on social media and also on my Goodreads account, how much I loved Taffy Britesser Achener, her second novel, Long Island Compromise.

  • Now Taffy is already a very, very famous journalist and a very famous novelist, for Fleischman is in trouble and very famous for having adapted herself and won an Emmy for it.

  • She's a huge hero of mine and I just adore, adore her work.

  • But I couldn't stop talking about Long Island Compromise this summer, and eventually I couldn't stop talking about it so much.

  • And I was so frustrated that, like, I wasn't seeing my love for the book reflected in the world.

  • Then I ended up putting Taffy's publishers on blast in the last episode of Continental Garbage.

  • I shouldn't have done that.

  • And to be honest, I was slightly drunk when I did.

  • But it all kind of turned out for the best.

  • Because what happened was, is that Taffy's publishers heard it and they got onto me and said, well, if you want there to be more opportunities for Long Island Compromise to get the, you know, love it deserves, why don't you put her on your podcast?
