Something about the combination of Fredrick Backman’s prose and Marin Ireland’s narration hit just right sometimes.

Good things for this week:
-we found a summer nanny for our 4 kids
-kid no. 3 is keeping all of his IEP supports for next year
-I work on a team where it’s encouraged to bring our whole selves to work and always make thoughtful and ethical decisions

Mills: “Do not be misled: This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law,” the governor said in a statement on the escalating conflict. “I believe he cannot.”

Currently reading Lady Tan’s Circle of Women and loving it!

I’m reading three different books right now that are all really great (Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, God of the Woods by Liz Moore)

Thinking about using this for my therapy homework, which is stopping to notice things that feel good to me.
