And I suppose, in a lot of ways, it is.
Things that make this real life: Today, I bought a trash can for my bedroom. I went to the post office. I bought ingredients for dinner. I worked a full day.
Of course, if it felt like real life, we probably wouldn’t have to keep saying it out loud.
Things that make this not feel like real life: Today, I paid for my new trash can in pounds. It cost me nearly $1.50 to mail one Father’s Day card. Paul cooked dinner. I worked from 3:30pm-11:30pm and enjoyed dinner, a beer, and some cake while I did it.
Real life is awesome.

That last sentence is no different from your real real life!
Fantastic to hear you’ve settled in so quickly and easily
Real life is indeed awesome.
