Oof. Bit of a rough morning — had a really hard time falling asleep last night, for no good reason. Think I fell asleep around 2 a.m. Then Kavi overslept, so I ended up having to get up and run her into school so she wouldn’t be too late (usually she walks herself in, 30 …
Meet Captain Jack, the newest addition to our cemetery. Jack was tragically lost at sea, but has wholeheartedly embraced the pleasures of the afterlife…
It’s late, but I’m buzzed from tonight’s Zoom writing workshop and can’t sleep. Guess I’ll find something productive to do…
So, I’ve stopped taking the Lexapro, and I don’t think I’m going to be trying another anxiety medication anytime soon. I’m going to walk y’all through my experience and reasoning, in case it’s helpful, but I want to preface this by saying I don’t actually have a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder (I *do* have …
I recently got a new cat food bowl that is so pretty. I will note that talking to a friend, she thinks it’s better to have a plate or bowl with lower sides, because of whiskers brushing against the bowl — I don’t really know anything about that, so please research if it’s a concern. …

I’ve caught some winter bug that isn’t COVID, and I find myself weirdly irritated by it. Like — after EVERYTHING we’ve gone through, and all the precautions we’ve been taking, with the masking, avoiding people, compulsive handwashing, etc., how dare OTHER viruses still get me sick. GAH.
