Quick important question:
I’ve never had so many pressing issues to contact legislators about, so I’m ignorant about this.
Do I make a separate call for each issue so it can be tallied, or can I make one call with a laundry list of issues?

WFH issues:
I am cold.
I have a blanket around my shoulders and on my legs, a knit cap, double socks, a space heater, and an electric hand warmer.
If it's going to be cold, there should at least be snow.

Does anyone else hoard productivity blog posts and websites for project management tools, planners, and information organizers, or is it just me?
I save them as rewards for when my work is finished or I need a quick break. 🤦♀️
Maybe it's a sign that I should be writing about those.
