How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay

by Jenny Lawson

Warm, insightful, and witty, the first book of advice from New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson—aka the Bloggess

Jenny Lawson is full of contradictions. She’s a celebrated author but battles self-doubt, paralysis, and anxiety. She’s an award-winning humorist but struggles with treatment-resistant depression. The questions people most often ask her are, “How do you do it? How do you keep going even when it feels impossible? How do you keep creating?” This book is her answer.

In How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay, Jenny shares more than one hundred humorous, heartfelt, and genuine tools and tricks that she relies on to keep her going even when her brain isn’t working properly due to depression, anxiety, and ADHD. She also offers tips to stay passionate and focused on creative endeavors, especially when everything around you is saying to give up.

With chapters like “Wash Your Brain More Than You Wash Your Bra” (sleep, you beautiful human), “Working on Easy Mode Is Still Working” (asking for accommodations is okay!), “Celebrate Good Times, Come On!” (make it a habit to celebrate the good things), and many more, How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay is a balm and companion, reminding us all that we are not alone. It’s for anyone who struggles with self-doubt, guilt, motivation, and mental blocks and wants to rekindle their passion for creating.

About the author

Known for her sardonic wit and her hysterically skewed outlook on life, Jenny Lawson has made millions of people question their own sanity, as they found themselves admitting that they, too, often wondered why Jesus wasn't classified as a zombie, or laughed to the point of bladder failure when she accidentally forgot that she mailed herself a cobra. Her blog (www.thebloggess.com) is award-winning and extremely popular.

[Jenny Lawson]

I don't know the rules on rating a book that you wrote but I do know that this is the book I wish I'd had when I was first struggling with depression, ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness and the occasional dumpster fire of life that keeps me from being my best, creative self. I hope it helps others to read it as much as it helped me to write it.

(Contains light profanity, unhinged joy, and wild encouragement. Does not contain wheat or spiders. Unless you use it to store your wheat and spiders. I'm not the boss of you.)

[Jamie]

I've already said this in my review of I Choose Darkness, but I'm pretty sure that Jenny Lawson is my spirit animal. (And now I'm super worried that she's going to read this and be offended because I called her an animal, but I totally don't mean it in a literal sense so please don't be mad at me, okay?) I generally don't read self-help books because I am painfully aware of my mental flaws and the steps I *should* (but obviously am not) talking to correct them, but I will read anything Lawson writes so here we are.

As someone who is very ADHD and anxiety-prone (and probably also a little autistic but I grew up in an era when the only diagnosis you got for such things was “weird,” so who knows?), reading Lawson's books are always like a balm for my soul because it's nice to know that there's someone out there who would probably “get” you if you were to meet in real life. I mean, we both have/had cats named Ferris Mewler/Meweller (there are a lot of slashes in that sentence but my Ferris has long since journeyed on to the Rainbow Bridge and I went with the more complicated spelling because if I have to suffer through having a last name that no one can ever spell, then so do my pets) and pick clothes based on their ability to camouflage cat fur (no solid black or white in this house, ever) and have no idea how makeup works, so I'm pretty sure we're basically twins.

And, okay, so maybe this book is very self-help-y and I don't really do self-help, but there are still lots of little fun anecdotes that you'd expect from a Jenny Lawson book and also some of the self-help bits were really quite meaningful and empowering and might've even made me tear up a time or two. It's not a super deep read, but there's lots of helpful advice and the chapters are short which made me very happy because long chapters are a challenge to my oft-distracted squirrel brain.

Also, I could not relate more to the chapter about her making notes on her phone and then forgetting what they mean, because I email myself notes all the time and they're always near-indecipherable. Like right now I have one in my inbox that says “eff short” and it took me days to remember that it was supposed to be a reminder to buy my husband a shirt from the Electronic Frontier Foundation for Christmas, except that I typoed “shirt” and couldn't be bothered to fix it. And then when I was reading this book I wanted to mention the above in this review, so I sent myself a message that said “emails eff short” as a reminder and I couldn't remember what that meant either. I do realize that none of this really has much to do with this book but if you confuse yourself with indecipherable notes on a regular basis, you'll probably appreciate this chapter in particular.

Anyway, if you're neurodivergent and/or struggle with your mental health, definitely consider giving this book a read. Or if you simply enjoy hippo facts and anecdotes about people farting at queens, this might be the book for you for entirely different reasons.

4.4 stars, rounded down.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Life for providing me with an advance copy of this book to review. Its expected publication date is March 31, 2026.

Seeing a new Jenny Lawson book with a charming oddball lil mammal on the cover has to be a top tier human experience. This is what God created eyeballs for.

Also, I've been going through it lately. And this is the first self-help book that has made me feel genuinely okay about my future. Not thrilled about it. But the way she spoke about new adventures and new experiences, I feel slightly hopeful. Still anxious and nervous about my impending future and alll. But with a little hopefulness mixed in now.

[Dee (on hiatus)]

4 solid stars - I'm not into self-help books really very much, bit this is the great Blogess Jenny Lawson, whom I adore!!! And there are some pretty helpful ideas here anyone can use. BUT the biggest enjoyment comes from her wit & humor - and I'm NEVER, ever going to forget "insert sad tampon here" 🪊😜🤭🤣

[Melissa (Always Behind)]

Jenny Lawson is funny, touching, and vulnerable. She gets what it is like to be a human and helps us all (and probably herself too) to feel a little bit more connected and seen.

As with Lawson's previous books, she narrates the audiobooks and they are perfection. She doesn't take herself too seriously, but she also communicates her heart so clearly that it brought me to tears numerous times. This is a book of encouragement, it's a book of humor, and it's a book to help every reader know that they are not alone.

Her stream of consciousness writing, her transparency about her various mental health struggles, and her unique view of life makes every Lawson book a must purchase for me.

Jenny and I are really good friends and I would like to tell you how great this book is.

Well, Jenny and I don’t actually know each other but in this book, she says we are friends and that is enough for me! And honestly, I do feel as though I have experienced life with Jenny through her memoirs and books and doodles and Instagram posts. You don’t have to have read them to adore this title but if you’d like to add some charm and hilarity to your life, read them also.

Jenny is very upfront, whether she “should” be or not, about her various physical and emotional diagnoses and we love her for sharing the laugh-out-loud moments and the quieter, scarier ones too. Why? Because we see bits of ourselves in her. Or boulders of ourselves in her. This pertains to those of us who have been the weird sister or the awkward partner or the embarrassing aunt or all of those at once. Sometimes we shrug it off and sometimes we need a little help to get through. Jenny jotted down some of the helpful ways she gets through those moments too and they are reminders and helpful and appreciated.

Thank you, Jenny, for reminding us to organize our buttons and to “weird-on,” and bedazzle that deer head you found at the thrift shop because who else will love it?

Thank you to NetGalley and Viking press for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have couple of automatic authors that I will read without knowing anything about the book. And Jenny Lawson is one of them. If she published her grocery list I would immediately buy it, because let’s be real, we all know her list would be epic.

To sum up this book I could hash tag every page #yepthisisme. Iykyk


I have the ebook version but I will be immediately purchasing the physical copy on publishing date to highlight and annotate every page.

If you don’t love Jenny Lawson we can’t be friends. Sorry not sorry.

[Kristina]

I have thoroughly enjoyed Jenny Lawson's previous memoirs where, with dark humor she highlights her history with both physical and mental ailments. I would recommend them all! Her most recent How to Be Okay When Nothing is Okay takes a different spin on her story. While she does tell some humorous stories along the way (the best part), the primary focus on the book is to highlight strategies she had used to deal with her challenges. I am really glad these coping strategies have helped Lawson, as it is so important to find ways to deal with life's challenges. While they may help others, I found it to be very therapy 101, and found myself skimming many of those sections. If I had realized this was more of a self-help book, I would have skipped it. If she goes back to essay writing, I'll read her again.

Thank you to Penguin Life for the advanced reader copy in exchange for honest review.

[Kim]

Let me begin as I did last time by saying I'm an enormous fan of Jenny Lawson, so I was overjoyed to be able to read this ARC. If you have not read her before or are unfamiliar with her, you could start with this book or with any of her work. However, if you are a fan or follower or have read other things by her, this book will immediately make sense to you. As she says in the introduction, you do not have to read this book linearly. You can drop in wherever you need. Lawson wrote this book as a compilation of ways that her specific brain has gotten through when she is going through mental health struggles, which she is very open about. It could be a self help book; it could be a memoir, but that is the beauty of all of her books. She is so open with her life that you can take or leave whatever lessons are best for you, but also she is there to help us laugh as well. In addition to this book, she encourages people to share in the supportive online community she has built as well. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this ARC.

If you’ve ever had an intrusive thought that felt way too weird to say out loud but also desperately needed to be validated, this book is basically your emotional support group (a group of two that is you and the author).

How to Be Okay When Nothing is Okay is funny, raw, wildly honest, and comforting in that very specific way where you laugh and think, “Oh, good, it’s not just me.” Jenny Lawson has a gift for turning anxiety, awkwardness, and life’s messier moments into stories that feel both hilarious and deeply human.

Reading her essays feels like chatting with your most unfiltered friend at 2 a.m., the one who overshares, makes you snort laugh, and somehow sneaks in surprising emotional depth when you least expect it. One minute I was laughing out loud, the next I was quietly nodding in recognition.

This became my perfect before bed read. A few chapters to unwind, laugh a little, and feel less alone in my own brain before calling it a night. Every essay has some small golden nugget of comfort or chaos that sticks with you.

Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates humor with heart and isn’t afraid to embrace the wonderfully weird parts of being human.

[Lisa Burgos]

Helpful advice with a unusual twist of humor.

[Donna Davis]

Jenny Lawson is queen of the mental health memoir. I’ve read her for years and appreciated her candor, wit, and willingness to shine a light on the kinds of experiences that historically, others have mostly kept mum about. Her latest book, How to Be Okay When Nothing is Okay, is not her strongest work, but this says more about how remarkable her earlier books are than anything detrimental about this one.

My thanks go to NetGalley and Viking Penguin for the review copy.

I first encountered Lawson through her blog over a decade ago when she wrote about gifting her husband with a huge metal chicken sculpture. There’s something truly cleansing about laughter, not the gentle or wry type, but the gut-busting type that leaves us gasping for breath. I encountered this on subsequent occasions when she wrote in her quirky, sometimes bizarre way that was, at the same time, absolutely relatable and crystal clear. And I have to confess that I missed that quality this time around.

Instead, Lawson has written practical suggestions, ones that she has utilized herself, to help her get past stressful situations in which her mental health has threatened to melt her down. And in that sense, this book is more of a self-help book and perhaps less of a memoir. It may be tremendously useful to others encountering similar situations. I’ve been there; a great many others have, too. But right now, my own mental health is fine, and perhaps that accounts for some of the disconnect I experienced in reading this one. I suspect, however, that a whole lot of people will get a whole lot of help from this slender little book.

Recommended for those in a space where they need support and ideas for getting through a difficult time or situation.

How to Be Okay When Nothing is Okay
By Jenny Lawson
It had a few good hints for anxiety and depression but not as enjoyable and entertaining as the last book. Not witty or funny like the last book.

[Catherine (alternativelytitledbooks) - still catching up!]

**Many thanks to NetGalley, Viking Penguin, and Jenny Lawson for an ARC of this book!**

Jenny Lawson: mom, wife, writer, blogger, observer, journalist, cat and dog lover, bookstore owner, lover of the...let's say 'bizarre', artist, mental health advocate, and now...self-help GURU?

Yes, indeed. There is now one MORE title Jenny Lawson can add to this surprisingly lengthy list of roles/titles/etc. (Good thing she's never attempted to fit that all on a business card!) The Bloggess, as she is affectionately known to fans who first found her on her blog of the same name (where her sub-header reads "Like Mother Teresa, only better." - The Bloggess site) has blossomed in the last 10 years, bringing forth not one, not two, but THREE books of her wild and weird combination of mental health related content and larger-than-life-yet-somehow-accessible anecdotes about life with husband Victor and child (well now, adult child!) Hailey. In her spare time she's managed to open an introvert's refuge of a bookstore in San Antonio, TX called the Nowhere Bookshop, become an artist, AND publish an adult coloring book. And YET, despite this INSANE level of success...what is the title of this book?

How to Be Okay When NOTHING Is OKAY.

And yes, in fairness, some of this is due to the current state of our world and plenty of outside factors that we may only have tangential control over, at best. But much like Matt Haig's The Comfort Book or Reasons to Stay Alive, this book is designed to act as a knowing, loving, and listening ear to YOU, the reader, as you encounter your OWN mental health struggles, replete with ALL of the strategies from someone who genuinely DOES know what you're feeling...because she has LIVED it. HTBOWNIO (sorry it's a long acronym, but I have a feeling Jenny will get a kick of how that looks!) is set up to either be read in sessions, in a sitting, or to be used as a handy 'go-to' in moments of crisis. In true self-help book fashion, the chapters and segments are divided in such a way that you can search by your goal (i.e. Let's Love People Even When People Are Sort of Scary, Let's Fight The Lies That Depression Tells, etc.) and are then further broken down by steps and strategies you can take, short anecdotes, and explanations of the steps by Jenny. It's a pretty simple formula and it makes for a quick read.

And to be honest, I'm a bit torn as to whether I truly enjoyed this format or not. On one hand, it did make chapters easy to go back to and this book is also replete with SHORT chapters, almost like long-form blurbs. It also clocks in at less than 300 pages (including pages with a single quote on them in between chapters, and some of Jenny's beautiful artwork), so although I didn't intend to do so to start, I flew through this one in a single afternoon. Again, I'm not sure this is necessarily the BEST way to go through it, but at the same time, I can't imagine dragging it out for a month or only pulling it out on an as needed basis either. Suffice it to say, this is simply a very different read than Jenny's previous books of essays...and I'm still a bit puzzled as to whether I enjoyed it as much as I'd anticipated. Despite my mixed feelings, however, there is PLENTY of great advice (and easy techniques you can implement TODAY, even without the help or buy-in of those around you) and there are certainly moments and confessions that rang true in my own mental health journey, as in so many of Jenny's books prior. As always, her authenticity, empathy, and quirky humor hits all of the right notes and had me tearing up MORE than a couple of times...in the good, cathartic way.

But I have to admit it: I did sort of miss the BONKERS aspect of Jenny, which is somewhat muted in this one. Since so much of the book is driven by advice rather than anecdote, there aren't as many of the 'you aren't going to believe this ridiculous story which will simultaneously make you laugh and shake your head in disbelief' moments...and as much as that conceit can get a bit tiresome too if its overdone, its absence was keenly felt here. Part of what makes Lawson so impactful in general IS this blend of mental health discussion and anecdotal humor, and thought trains that take you zipping from the land of the normal over to Crazy Town...and make it the BEST ride ever. Save for one very weird yet INCREDIBLY memorable story involving a real human head in a hospital (Yep, that's all I am going to tell you...trust me, that's a journey you need to take on your own!) , the focus on looking outward towards the reader and their struggles sort of forced Jenny to put herself on the back burner...and I just sort of missed her brand of day-to-day silly. There is also a lot of discussion on how to incorporate or utilize writing and/or art to help you along your journey though, and this is perhaps my greatest takeaway: there is no right or wrong way to make art, and creating is an inherent gift that we ALL have; we just need to use it.

And although it may seem at times like NONE of us are okay (and frankly, there is a LOT of truth to that) this unifying, funny, and honest beacon of light and laughter is a great reminder that if we ALL feel like nothing is okay, that fact in and of itself MIGHT just be enough to help us feel a bit more okay... because we are all in this together.

[Cozy Puppy Reads]

Reading this book honestly felt like a warm hug for my mental health. All throughout, I felt so deeply seen. If my anxiety were a physical person needing someone to hold its hand and offer patient, sweet reassurance, this book is what that type of comfort feels like.

Going in, I expected heavy discussions on mental illness, chronic health struggles, and navigating dark places. What I didn't expect was how much I would be smiling and laughing out loud. Jenny Lawson brought irreverent, imaginative humor, sharp banter, and genuine joy to explore themes that usually feel weighed down or hard to process. Hearing her be so unapologetically honest about her life while listening to the audiobook felt like having a comforting conversation with a close friend. I literally teared up at some sections because the messages felt so uplifting and heartwarming, and I didn't even realize it until the tears just came.

There were so many things that made this read special for me. Her writing style and voice felt both relatable and unapologetic. Lawson doesn't talk down to you. Instead, she shares her own lived experiences, quirky coping strategies, and exact thought processes in a way that makes you feel deeply seen and validated. I especially loved her insight on reframing when life gets overwhelming, and her storytelling and humor made the weight of the world feel just a little bit lighter.

The chapters are short and digestible, making it easy to drop in for a quick dose of comfort or motivation without feeling overwhelmed. She even reminds readers that you can read this book however you want, even if you want to skip ahead or jump around to other sections. Plus, the insights toward the end regarding creating art and finding your creative voice felt very empowering and really hit home.

I started out bookmarking audio clips that resonated with me, but by the middle of the book, I had to stop because I was bookmarking almost every single chapter. That was the moment I realized this isn't just a one-time listen. I definitely want to revisit this again and again as a permanent addition to my personal library.

How to Be Okay (When Nothing Is Okay) is a sweet, hilarious, and profoundly comforting reminder that it is entirely okay to be wherever you are on your journey. Whether you grab the audiobook to listen to on hard days or keep a physical copy on your nightstand to draw quick comfort from, this book is an absolute joy.

To be honest, most books marketed as self-help usually go unfinished on my shelf because I don't like when they feel more like a sales pitch. However, I decided to give this a try when librarian Mychal Threets (@mychal3ts), the new host of Reading Rainbow, recommended it. I follow a lot of his work on social media and love his passion for library systems, literacy, and supporting "library joy!" I respect his honesty and advocacy for mental health. He is so unapologetically transparent about living with mental health struggles, just like Jenny Lawson in this book. Because there’s traditionally been such a stigma around discussing mental health, it’s a breath of fresh air to see his uplifting messages and get book recommendations like this. It normalizes that it's okay to be where you are.

I am so happy this book found me. It turned out to be a total gem!

Recommended for:
💛 Honest mental health representation.
🩷 Anyone navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, or burnout.
❤️ Creatives looking for inspiration or uplifting messages.
🩵 Anyone who just needs a reminder that they aren't alone in the dark.

[Corinne]

I like Jenny Lawson, but this was not what I expected. It very much reads like a random compilation of therapy strategy pamphlets in book form. that can be incredibly helpful for so many people, but that's not my thing.

[laurel [the suspected bibliophile]]

Classic Jenny Lawson. Filled with hope, dark humor, and affirmations both small and large.

[Courtney Cahoon White]

I think I’m just not the person for this book. I really like the writer’s voice; it’s clever and funny. But after every chapter, I would just think, what was I supposed to get out of that? Not for me, but maybe it’s great for someone else.

Jenny Lawson is my Spirit Human :). Her books always make me feel seen and never fail to lift my mood :).

[Angie Miale]

This was completely delightful. It is part self-help, some memoir, and some lovely doodles. I love her voice, her non-traditional writing style and her unique and ridiculously specific references. It is a story about how she has managed her anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She has true practical exercises that will help make the reader’s life better. I don’t remember laughing out loud this much at a book in a very long time. Jenny is just hilarious. This book comes with more of a maturity and accountability than from her previous books. She is taking a lot of great experience from therapy and sharing what has worked for her.

My son has severe ADHD and this book really helped me understand more what he goes through daily. I can’t wait to read it again!
4.5/5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and Viking Penguin for the ARC. Book to be published March 30, 2026.

[Meredith]

I wanted to rate this higher but her first book is one of my all time favorites and this just fell short. It is a stream of conscious self help book where she tells funny stories and shares how she has managed her mental health. Def some laugh out loud moments but just didn’t do it for me

[Hamad]

“It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.”

I love Jenny Lawson and have listened to all of her books, and I always recommend the audiobooks because they are fantastic. As soon as I saw this one was coming out, I added it to my TBR and (for the first time ever) preordered the audiobook. It is no surprise that I loved it just as much as her others. My only complaint is that it felt a bit too short because I can never get enough of her stories.

As always, Lawson blends humor with mental health in such a thoughtful and genuine way. In How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay, she shares short essays filled with ideas that help her get through the day, make everyday tasks more enjoyable, and spark creativity.

The book itself is funny and heartfelt, but her narration takes it to another level. She has this incredible ability to shift from playful and whimsical to deeply raw and vulnerable in an instant. As someone who deals with anxiety and does not always talk about it enough, her words feel comforting and validating. It feels like sitting with a friend who truly gets it, makes you laugh, and reminds you that you are not alone. We all need a Jenny in our lives.

If you have never read one of her books, whether you struggle with mental health or just want something that will make you laugh, I highly recommend picking one up. I am already excited for whatever she writes next.

[Vonnie]

Gosh do I just love the sugar honey ice tea out of Jenny Lawson!! This was the badass self help book I didn’t even realize I was waiting for. I have been sitting on goals, overthinking them, doubting myself, and this book straight up told me to knock it off and go for it.

Jenny is hilarious and brutally honest and somehow makes you feel less alone while also calling you out. I laughed. I paused. I had a couple of “oh wow okay” moments where I knew she was talking directly to me.

Thank you NetGalley for my ARC. I am absolutely buying the physical copy from her bookshop because this one deserves a permanent spot on my shelves. And yes, now I have a very valid reason to visit again.

[Jess]

I've been a fan of Jenny Lawson since sometime in the aughts, when I discovered her blog. I have read Let's Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy and have a signed copy of the former. I kind of feel like she hardly needs my endorsement, but here it is anyway: if you are "mentally interesting," some flavor of neurospicy, are living with a chronic illness, or care about someone who fits any of those descriptions, this book is for you.

Jenny makes those of us whose brains turn on us feel so much less alone, and she does it while being hilarious. For those who want to support someone but don't really get it, she makes bridging the gap to what your friend/partner/taxidermist is going through more accessible as well.

This book is a quick-reference guide and a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency type resource (relative emergencies! Though she does provide resources for those in crisis--did you know there are text/chat support lines for those who have social anxiety and don't want to call a hotline because then you'd have to speak to a human? I didn't!).

There are helpful reminders as well as practical strategies and things to remember when you need them most but are least likely to be able to recall them, and I love that the book is structured so that you can read it straight through if you really want to or you can pick and choose from sections based on what you need in the moment.

Jenny Lawson is a treasure; she's working every day to destigmatize mental illness and being different, she's the reason I was willing to try TMS (Tranacranial Magnetic Stimulation), which has made a big difference for me at some really critical points, and the number of people whose lives she has impacted for the better--in some cases outright saved, according to notes quietly passed to her at book tours--is inspiring and/or intimidating (almost certainly both). This is very good, but you probably don't need me to tell you that.

[Leslie Ann]

4.25 ⭐️

While I enjoyed this book, it didn’t hit the same way as her previous books. I think this is because this had more of a pick-your-own-adventure feel, and I’m not really into that. Even so, it was still a very good book that I would recommend to others.

[Dramapuppy]

Jenny Lawson is falling into that trap where she got famous for being relatable but is now so famous that she’s unrelatable

[Jillian B]

My mom read this book, loved it, and immediately mailed me her copy, but it sat on my TBR shelf for a while. Thankfully, when I entered a bit of a mental health downturn, it was there when I needed it. This is a super readable book of bite-sized essays giving advice for offbeat ways to tackle poor mental health. The author struggles with depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and she gives tips that have worked for her. I loved that there was a particular focus on ideas for sparking creativity, as doing creative things has always helped me when my anxiety has been bad. Her funny, irreverent tone won’t be for everyone, but it certainly helped cheer me up.

If you are in a mental health crisis, you obviously need more help than this book can give. But if you’re dealing with an “ordinary” resurgence of depression or anxiety, or if you’re following this book’s advice in conjunction with stronger interventions, I think it can be a real help. At the very least, it will make you feel less alone.

[Emelie Gaughan]

Thank you, Jenny Lawson for being exactly who you are and reminding us all to stay weird and dream big.

[Christina O.]

It's not bad, but I had zero motivation to keep reading this book. The audiobook helped me knock it off my currently reading.

[Hannah]

Jenny Lawson is hilarious. And the only person I would read a book like this for. I needed it though, in this weird place I am in where I am no longer as sick as I was last year but still not back at the type of productivity I apparently need to be happy with myself (what an awful thing to conflate productivity with self worth but here it is). Thank god she's this funny because otherwise I'd have to cry.
