Colin sits on my lap from time to time, but I don't know that he's ever curled up and fallen asleep in my lap like this before.

Colin, the orange and white cat is almost impossible to see, his head is obscured by the folding table he ducked behind, but his whole body is there next to it. It's a mystery!

Help, Colin is hiding from me, and I can't find him 😭

Colin demands that you allow yourself to rest.

Sorry I'm late for work, my husband asked me about a "Severence" plot point right as I was walking out the door.

I WILL be the center of attention.
I WILL command a room with my presence.
I WILL be a gd problem for you.

And you WILL love it.

Sunday nights.

Rest feels like a blink. Truly recharging is a fairy tale.

We try the next closest thing. An activity we love. The ones we love. The world we fight for. As we all join this work, we'll take our turns to truly rest, knowing things are in good hands while we're gone.

For now, JFC.

Just to be clear, I have no idea what I'm doing at pretty much any given point in time.

The beauty is that we don't HAVE to know, other than to meet each moment with love and care, whatever that specific moment needs.

(Me to me during every conversation I'm rehearsing angrily in the shower).

two slides one says 'someone recommending you a highly praised bestselling, queer horror novel' and the other says 'someone recommending you 'creamed in the butt by my handsome living corn'. both slides connect at the bottom which is labled 'discovering the world's greatest author'

Maybe if I sit here looking very cute, they'll watch me instead of the TV.

Back to this Maintenance Phase episode today. Workplace wellness challenges tend to be pretty ableist among other things, and just out of their lane. Usually our work is not our doctors. AND they deny the systemic issues of providing better wages, PTO, and better healthcare overall as true wellness.

book 23 for '25. Don't limit yourself to what seems like a book-enough book to you. They all count: kids' books, audiobooks, poetry, graphic novels, etc etc. Reading is the point. Find what engages you.

Same goes with any habit you want to keep; doing things you actually like will keep you going.
