The 1990s were so unkind to women in so many ways, but maybe most egregious* was the gd layered hairstyles (we’re watching Frasier).

*it was actually the eating disorders.

What is today’s reason I can’t get off the couch:
1. The cold that I did not avoid catching from my family after all.
2. The Sads.
3. Both, probably.

Most of this work week has been checking in with colleagues and friends in the provincial government, and reassuring my team where I can. Friends, it is exhausting.
