S2 Ep21 How Did Adulthood Become a Logistics Department?
Apparently adulthood is just one giant operations department and nobody bothered to tell us there would be this much fucking logistics. Kelly is back after a 40-hour cross-country drive, hauling her daughter's life from California to Canada while her husband somehow managed to drive across the U.S. twice. Christy has returned from a "vacation" with the kids in Florida and is now running on approximately three minutes of sleep while everyone panics about back-to-school. We catch up on the chaos of summer: road trips, moving across borders, 127-degree heat, questionable McDonald's decisions, Austin work trips, loud restaurants, car sickness, cocktails, tater tots, and the eternal question of why nobody can just make a normal French fry. Then there's the emotional stuff. Christy's kids are heading back to school, complete with middle-school anxiety, team assignments that apparently determine the fate of civilization, and approximately 47 back-to-school events. Meanwhile, Kelly is saying goodbye to California and trying to emotionally prepare for a new chapter in Washington that she hasn't even experienced yet. Because apparently in midlife, you're simultaneously managing everyone else's logistics while wondering where the hell your own life went. So grab your Diet Coke, wine, or whatever beverage is getting you through the week. We're catching up, oversharing, judging French fries, and trying to figure out what the hell we're doing. Welcome to Vertically Unstable .
