Hello, welcome to Christy's couch. My name is Christy Lukazyak. And you're hanging out with me on my couch. And as per usual, when we are hanging out on my couch, it is a Thursday. So you almost made it to the weekend. Yay.

Congratulations yourself. Give yourself a high five. Plan something super fun for tomorrow because we all deserve to celebrate making it through another work week. So what is new and exciting in everyone's life. I mean, every week I go through and I try to figure out like these things to tell you about my life to kind of update you on all things Lukazyak.

And I feel that I'm always saying the same things like clarif in a school, you know, it's the weather's dice. Like this is happening. But I guess the biggest thing is clarif in a school, the weather's been nice. I'm getting ready to leave for France, like things like that. So it's, it's kind of weird though that we are now back in.

I don't want to say normal because like is the world ever going to be totally normal. I think COVID has changed things like permanently, but it's a little strange to be like back in society, the world public, however you want to say it. And not see people in masks. It like freaks me the f out. I'm like, you know, and look, I'm not wearing a mask. I'm fully vaccinated. So I'm comfortable not wearing one.

But I have like trust issues, I guess, like I trust no one. So as I see people, I'm like, every time I look at them, I'm like, are you really vaccinated?

Because I live in an area that I think I feel that it would be fair to say that there are a lot of people who don't believe that COVID is real. So yeah, it just freaks me out a little bit.

And I follow obviously a lot of travel influencers and everyone is kind of like making their grand summer plans and telling everyone like where they're going.

And it's just so odd that we went through such a huge world event. And now we're kind of like getting back to quote unquote normal.

And well, I think this just goes to show this just goes to show that social media is just it's just a place where people just feel empowered to be the worst versions of themselves and like say things that you would never say to someone's face.

So on Monday, I always do coffee with Christie. It's fun. Like I I love doing it. I just give people the opportunity to ask whatever they want. And I try to answer as many as I can throughout the day.

And I called it French press this week in honor of going to France.

And I cannot tell you how many people were like hating on me in direct comments being like or direct messages rather being like how dare you travel during a pandemic like, hi, the world is opening back up.

I don't know if we can really say it's quote unquote a pandemic anymore. I think we're on the backside of it. But people were just like trolling me and giving me their opinion and just having some really vicious things to say.

And I mean, look, I'm human. And so when I read things like that, I'm automatically like on my heels and, you know, take it back by it and feeling I always feel the need to apologize or defend myself. And then I'm thinking to myself that these are as Holly and I used to call them crazy dog stroller people. Okay, so hear me out.

It was this thing that Holly and I had because we realized very early on when stance mom started airing that there was a very specific type of person who seemed to support Abby versus the moms.

And one day Holly and I, we were standing in an alley in LA. Look, Holly and I weren't just hanging out in an alley. We were filming something and we were like on a break. So we were sitting in this back alley.

And this woman came by and started screaming at us like unprovoked. Didn't know who we were. Didn't know who she was. I mean, I'm assuming she knew who we were because of the things she said.

But she was like screaming at us that we should be grateful and, you know, our dance teacher had done so much for us and how dare we speak to her that way and blah, blah, blah.

And she was pushing a dog in a dog stroller. And so that became synonymous with a crazy like Abby supporter. We call them dog stroller ladies.

But look, no shade if you push your dog in a dog stroller because I have actually turned the corner where I have sat with a cat stroller in my Amazon cart for literally like days looking at it going like, can I pull the trigger?

Can I walk my cat in a stroller? And the answer so far has been no, but that's not because I won't do it. It's because everyone in my family has like they have.

They've haggled me. Everyone has haggled me. They're just like if you order a cat stroller, we're divorcing you from the family, which I think is unfair because look, noble wants to go for a walk and he can't walk on a leash. I've tried. Trust me.
