Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
(I work from home and for myself so replace “say” with “type.”)
“Consider conveying via dialogue.”

For the first time in a very long time, I had a GOOD medical appointment today. You know, the kind where a doctor actually listens to you? I was blown away (speaks to how crap past experiences have been).

I’m so sleep deprived that my phone refuses to recognize my face.

Someone who was in a position of power over me 20 years ago and who hit on me repeatedly (knowing I was married and new at my job) just sent me a FB friend request. I never reported him or called him out for fear of losing said job. Seeing his name/face gives me the creeps (unaccepted, clearly).

Downloaded Deepstash in an attempt to change some phone habits. A neat app that focuses on micro-learning, rather than doomscrolling, and it adheres to learning styles (audio is available for those who prefer; my brain requires text to absorb so it was handy for me to uncheck audio options).

Rough night + painkillers decided to go on strike = Slow morning. Once again, I am so so so grateful I work for myself and can give my joints heat therapy and take it slow, when needed. Hoping the day improves from here.

I received an email from a client that is just hitting me in the feels, friends. She said, "I really appreciate your flexibility and the care you put not just into the work, but into how you hold the humans behind it."
May we all hold each other as needed to put more light into this world.

I started playing Tiny Bookshop (switch) and as if owning a bookstore isn’t awesome enough, customers come in and request suggestions based on ACTUAL BOOKS. And all books in your inventory are REAL BOOKS. This dork is giddy.

My oldest knows it's been a challenging week for me, and so, on her own accord, she's making brownies. I highly recommend everyone get their hands on an empathetic teenager who can bake. ❤️

…and that one night of sleep appears to have been a fluke or a gift from the Universe. Back to regular scheduled programming of tossing and turning.

Love to see it.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Ending my work week with a non-work, catch-up chat with a client was a very smart decision. My heart is full. I recommend.

Jeepers. I get 5 hours in a row of sleep for the first time in months, and my body thinks I don’t need any more. Wide awake like it’s Christmas Eve and I’m 6 over here…

Actually managed to get a block of 5-6 hours of sleep in a row last night, friends! This hasn’t happened since the fall. I feel giddy.

My last mammogram was in June 2025. Immediately after, I wanted to book my next one so I wouldn’t forget. I was told I couldn’t, I was “too early.” Anyway I forgot to book (of course) and was reminded today. Next available apt? January 2027. Sigh.

Got my new year’s cleaning done and Christmas removed before the new year. Opened back door to exit 2025 properly and opened front door to welcome in 2026. Tomorrow I’ll blow cinnamon in the front and NOT CLEAN (love this tradition!). Happy New Year, all.

2025’s final gift was my next door neighbour’s funeral today. It’s been a heavy week, and I’m very fine having a chill evening watching TV with my favourite person for NYE. Feeling grateful for everything I have. My heart hurts for what we’ve lost.
