I have so many cool outfits…but I can’t fit into any of them rn and I’m depressy about it

Wife is sick again, ugh this is insanity. This house is always running with illness I’m soooo tired of it

Thinking of doing a tech sabbath, like no tech except for listening to physical music (cds/vinyls/cassettes), and prioritizing being present for a full 24 hours.

It just sucks because it can’t be a weekday where I work, unless I take the day off. Might do that honestly 🤷

Medical OCD is no joke….ugh

Here's a thoughtful and generous reveiw of the Gum Parker record from Start Track's own @newtfangs.bsky.social

Thanks a ton NF!

Tendonitis is so fun!! I love only being able to use one hand!! It totally doesn’t make my job as a writer more difficult in ANY way!! 😃

Same music, just more curators contributing to it. It will be a playlist for more advanced listeners :)

Day 6 of 75 Soft and I feel GREAT

(minus the shoulder pain from going 0 -> 100 doing this challenge)

But overall, I’m loving engaging with my body more and feeling a tad stronger everyday. Starting to look forward to workouts

9 more days of the March Music Writing Challenge 🤙 Blog is on substack and beehivv

Made a list of all of the artists in my music library that I need to give my full attention….i think it’s like 50+ so that’s fun 😅

12 more days of this writing challenge…I am tired tbh LOL it doesn’t help that I’ve been sick and work has been busier than ever.

At work I’m probably writing 7K-10K words per day, so it can be hard to want to write for myself after that.

I know I can do it though, then April will be for rest

Hey so my wife and I have been sick (either one or both of us) since December 🙃🙃🙃

So this is a PSA to take vitamin c, wash your hands, and for the love of God….MASK UP!!

Btw I am keeping up with my March Music Writing Challenge and you can find all of my blogs/blurbs by clicking the link in my bio 🤙

Sometimes I’m just a tad too busy to post about them here, apologies

Next week goal: Keeping my boundaries intact when it comes to work/work-related tasks.

I work 9-5, not a second earlier or later. Just because I stick to my time doesn’t mean I’m not a team player, it really means I respect my time and others time as well.

I am a valued team member regardless

This weekend is reserved for writing things I enjoy, Skyrim, outdoor rest, and cooking with my wife.

Everyone and anything else is getting ignored

Had to go to the ER last night for my wife to be able to breathe, it was very scary. Extremely thankful to all of the staff, however, you’re dumb if you think I’m paying that bill 😂

Your reminder to mask in public if you’re able, for your health and those around you!

Also Liposomal Vitamin C is a game-changer, water is important, and sleep is necessary.

Take care of yourself so you can take care of others 🩵

Health is wealth

We're about to go to an ENT and ask to pay in cash for the removal tbh, even if we have to take out a loan for the $4-6K, that way they don't have all the stupid red tape of insurance

About to crowdfund for my wife to get her tonsils out. Being this sick every couple of months is just not it
