What a month this week has been.
Lemon, it's Tuesday.
This is a gentle reminder to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw. Stay informed, but give yourself a break from the fire hose. You may not realize how intensely disregulating the constant stream of bad news and horror is until you do.

Hate watching the new Hallmark Chanukah movie. It's only 7 minutes in and there is so much wrong. Does Hallmark even know any Jews?!

“Still punk as fuck,” I think as I turn on my heating pad and slip it under my lower back as I settle under the covers at 10PM
"Still punk as fuck," I think as I wake up at 5:45 am, ready two computers, and manically refresh the municipal parks and recreation website hoping to get my two kids into swimming lessons at the same time.
"Still punk as fuck," I think as I turn of the side light on my nightstand and go to bed at a reasonable hour because I have work in the morning.

Forgive me, it was all wet and so dirty.
