good morning, friends. I hope everyone has a good Thursday. today it seems like I’ll never get out from under work but I know that’s not true. that the semester will be over soon & we will have all made it out OK. all I can do is the next right thing.

I’m going through a lot & yesterday I wrote 29 pages in this B5 journal trying to cope. it’s hard not to be able to turn to alcohol anymore to make everything OK, if only for a little bit. but I still have writing (with my fancy pens in my fancy journals) & that’s something.

despite my husband forbidding me to, this AM I bought a pack of sixteen more pens, as many other pens from my collection sat beside me spilling out of their cases (these are just the pens that travel with me; I have countless more).
I quit drinking but school supplies? never.

I’m trying to set an example for my eight-year-old daughter. I wasted most of my life hating my body & self—& it benefits mediocre men for women like me to have low self-esteem. but I refuse to make my daughter watch me downplay my accomplishments & bow down to men like this.
