Doom scrolling short circuits my brain so I tried hard not to do it this month. Read 16 books instead, here's my favorites.
Half I listened to as audio books, 13 of the 16 were from the library via the Libby app.

Today the kids' school had a 2 hr snow delay to keep kids/staff safe.
Reality = childcare costs mean someone has to stay home today + all vacation/sick days. I sacrificed my ability to have a ft paying job so that I can do that
When you hear 'nobody wants to work' I'm who they're talking about

Food bank volunteering: Day 1
Helped sort the 1000+ lbs of fresh produce donated by local stores- remove the too-far-gone-for-people food & organize the rest
The non-people food that was still safe for animals goes to a local pig farm
I got to help people, reduce food waste & learn cool stuff.

I finished cross stitching all the books I read last year! On to adding fun details to my 2024 shelf.
I love reading, but I don't love supporting Amazon. I love Libby & Hoopla Apps instead.
Both free, help fund your local library, have audio + digital books. You just need a library card #booksky

Spending time in physical spaces, full of all kinds of people, makes my life better.
Getting beat (twice 😀) by my 7 year old at bowling with a senior league on one side and college kids on the other was a great way to spend a Saturday night.

Today my resistance looks like going to the gym. Taking out rage & fear in movement let me show up in the world the way I want to. (Make sure you stretch afterwards 😀)
Bonus for me: Listening to kickass music by black, minority, queer or otherwise marginalized communities under attack right now.

This week, I've been mostly....
Listening to an audiobook on the history of how the world got better by people being decent, and volunteering at a local Makerspace (organizing the programs office after a move)
Tiny actions can equal big improvements, I'm trying hard to lean into my strengths.
