I swear my mate just told me her toddler has foot and mouth disease. In my role of child free auntie, I have no idea how to help. Do I send a get well soon card, or help her burn the farm down to stop the infection spreading???

Last night, in a melatonin and sleeping pill haze, my insomnia cocktail, I once again wrote in my notes app what I thought was a great story idea. Checked it this morning, and all it said was: "A car muffler on the side of a highway."

I have two joyful poems in this issue: one of my froggish pieces and one inspired by a friend who often points me towards happiness.

But this whole issue is absolutely respite. Take a breath here.
We’ll share these little gems individually over the next while. All take just a few minutes (or less) to read. How else will you spend those 1-4 minutes? Doom scrolling? Worrying? Rage-baited? Scared? Lonely? How about a little trade?

My lipstick fell under my dresser & my dresser is too heavy to move & I tried using something with a long handle to get it out & that just pushed it farther back & I didn't feel like dealing with it anymore so l wrote a reminder that said “lipstick fell" & I'm never seeing that lipstick again am I?
