Look out world it’s one of those “I’m upset and need something to look forward to so let’s buy some overly expensive Broadway tickets” days

The good things about today:
- I got to swim
- I got to spend time with my family
- I met a caterpillar named Ricky
- For the first time this whole year I had a vacation day from my actual job

Holding on to the good things as tight as I can

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeep breaths

Sometimes you gotta laugh so you don’t bash your head through a wall!

I’ve full circled with the stress I feel to feeling basically nothing because I’m to full of stress. I’m so fried

Hi! The stress! Is here!

Oh we are ending this week with a BANG

Just like, the deeeeeeepest breaths today

Where everything else seems inconsistent and chaotic, at least I have my Nintendo Switch with Zelda TOTK. Please, dear lord, can my controllers hang on and not get drift, I don’t think my heart can take it

Just tallying it up now and the fact that I have 17 active voice students kind of blows my mind…

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMANS DAY

Black and white photo of a white boy (tween or young teen I guess?) in a cowboy shirt and hat, looking seriously at a shorthaired white kitten he is petting. The kitten is sitting on a western style horse saddle and looks rapturously happy. It’s light colored fur and whiskers are luminous in the sunlight.

Deeeeeeeeeep breaths for today

It’s giving Hyrule #zeldatotk #tearsofthekingdom

Truly why make friends in this business? You hate disappointing them and when they disappoint you it just hurts and you have to shake it off and let it go. Moving forward the only friends I make will be cats.

I watched the Wild Robot for the first time and only cried twice, a record!

Gotta keep the snoot warm

If I take it with me to work, I will get absolutely nothing done. See you in twelve hours 👋🏻😭

Yesssssss

In this worst of timelines, I think skipping work to read a good book should be totally justified

Always a good reminder.

Started the week by belting Meadowlark while hole punching music, because if you’re stuck with a twelve hour Monday night ad we’ll make the most of it’

Tuesday, aka you’ve gotta laugh so you don’t curl up in a ball and implode

If you need me for anything over the next days/weeks/months/years I will hopefully be doing this

So many things happen every day that have nothing to do with me or my decisions but the anxiety I feel is 📈

Oscar noms are out… no Greta Gerwig for best director? No Margot Robbie for best actress but Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor? 🚩🚩🚩
