Because of Bluey, my tiny human refers to Neptune as "the comfy planet." IYKYK

How's your day going? I walked into my office to find that my cat had barfed AT the wall from the top of his cat tree. 🫥 And yes, it is in view on video calls.

My child, who is about to celebrate her third birthday, loves putting on her hooded towels or car seat-safe hooded cape and say "I'm Super Mabel! I save the day but only for a day!"

It cracks me up but I'm so glad she's already setting healthy boundaries to prevent burnout.

My cat is snoring and it sounds like the tinest ambulance siren.

I picked up an annual subscription bill that I've been moving around my desk for a few weeks and was determined to finally pay it. I finally gave it a good look and saw that I set it up on auto-renew.

Thanks past me! Way to think of future me!

This week marked two months since I was laid off and it was the first time my brain started making plans again and I felt like I could accomplish something.

ok but how am i supposed to fall asleep without watching one or two hundred 20 second videos

What did you do with swag from former employers? Especially if those employers unceremoniously laid you off. Is this a burn/smash cathartic moment? Is it a "this no longer sparks joy" so pass it on moment? I don't want it haunting me and taking up space physically and mentally.

With TikTok going dark what excuse will I use for why I haven't made a dent in my to be read pile?

Today I posted a writing I’ve been sitting on for weeks and it was vulnerable and scary but also cathartic. As I learn to process my grief with mindfulness it felt important even if I still worry it could be received poorly by even one person. Today I was brave and that felt good.

I’m taking a Squatty Potty to a white elephant gift party. It will either be the best gift there or the worse. Wish me luck.

Did I park in the back of the Costco lot to eat my $1.50 hot dog and stare into the void while listening to Noah Kahan? Yes. Was it blissful? Also yes. #AdventuresAfterLayoff

Anyone else find it absolutely fascinating and infuriating how small changes in brain chemistry can completely change how we move through the world? A tiny shift in dopamine or serotonin and everything is 10x harder if not impossible. Brains are weird.

This is the epitome of the ADHD brain. Exhausted or seeking and sometimes both at the same time.

My not quite 3-year-old tiny human is stealing broccoli from our plates and using phrases like “I haven’t decided.” I don’t know whether to be proud or scared. 😂

Don’t watch the final episode of The Good Place if you’re fighting off the depression. Unless you really need a cry and then 100% watch that absolutely beautiful shit.
