It’s been 29 days since I last posted 🥲 with all this political stuff and TikTok coming and going, I’m just focusing on school and #dramione everything.

I’ve been in hibernation for like two weeks, but I’m back with a new bind, #manacled, typeset is columned. So excited to post the finished product. New year, still becoming a better me ◡̈

POV: You’re suddenly a student, full-time nurse for your post-op boyfriend, sole breadwinner, and mother to a teenager and a toddler. My toxic trait? Thinking I can handle all this without crying in the shower at least once. Stay tuned for the breakdown livestream. 💅

Apparently, the ‘spring’ semester starts in January. Nothing says ‘welcome back to school in your 30s’ like realizing I’m trading winter hibernation for homework.

Almost ready to put them together 💕

Finally back at it with the rest of this bind! Have so many others to complete and have been putting it off 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who needs a diet plan when you have a toddler? Every meal is portion-controlled because my little food thief takes half of it. Bonus: the cardio of chasing them when they grab snacks you didn’t even open yet.

I didn’t grow up with the magic and nostalgia of the holidays, but I’m making sure my kids do. From twinkling lights to traditions filled with love, I’m building the memories I wish I had—for them and a little for me too.

Insomnia: the ultimate overachiever. Who needs sleep when you can lie awake replaying every awkward moment of your life since 2005?

Put on a turtleneck today and immediately felt like I was being hugged by a very aggressive sweater. Not the fun kind of choking I signed up for.

30 years old, but I still feel like a kid in adult disguise. Bills? Paid. Responsibilities? Handled. Life? Still waiting for the real adults to show up.

Someone pour this coffee directly into my eyeballs.

Hey #BookBinders: what's your favourite printer for a) printing your own text blocks, and b) printing paperback covers?

Thank you!

i wish anxiety came with french fries.

Staring at my bookbinding supplies, wondering if I should finish what I started—or impulsively bake cookies I don’t need. Productivity or chaos? The eternal battle.

Breakfast of champions: iced coffee and popcorn. Balanced? No. Delicious? Absolutely. Adulting level: questionable. #PopcornForBreakfast #CoffeeIsLife #NutritionOptional

Found a new used book store that’s open on a Sunday and within an hours drive, ho ho ho

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

Day 1 of Bluey advent calendar season: trying to convince a toddler not to eat all 24 chocolates at once. Spoiler: Bluey has more self-control than my kid. #AdventChaos #ToddlersAndChocolate #SendBackup

Woke up this morning unable to turn my neck to the right—guess my warranty officially expires at 31. Is this the ‘fun’ side of aging everyone keeps talking about? #SendHelp #BarelyThirty #NeckNotIncluded

Post-Thanksgiving limbo: I want to do everything and absolutely nothing at the same time. Motivation is nowhere to be found, but do I really even want it? Just here, existing in chaos and leftovers. #HolidayHangover #ConfusedAndContent

i know coffee won’t fix me but it won’t not not fix me

I love this ✨

Today would have been Chadwick Boseman’s 48th birthday.

adhd moment: wandering around the apartment with a mouth full of meds because you forget where you put down your coffee

Libraries are an investment. Not an expense

Working a call center on Black Friday= nothing to do, desperately need a gallon of iced coffee, but have none. Honestly just want to hermit away, and Massachusetts isn’t even delivering snow vibes yet. Where’s my winter aesthetic? #BlackFridayMood #HermitLife #NeedSnow
