it depends on how much it is …

is there really a such thing as “extra money” these days anyway?!

not as often as i should. for sure.

i used to have time once a week, just for me. but the endless TwoWeekLockdown that never ends really ruined that.

i do try to set a little bit of time every day for me to just mentally take a break. it doesn’t always work out like that.

i haven’t really had the chance to take a real, proper break for a while. like … a long while.

i was thinking of taking off to a hotel in town to just get away, even. for a night. from the small humans that never pay their rent but insist on continuing to live here. 😉

i try not to.

people do enough of that for me to want to join in at all.

i prefer to be labelless

i have a puff and i read a little bit before turning on a guided meditation, or a crazy YouTube rabbit hole video, and pass out!

it’s usually the same very night … a little weed, a little read, a little bit of calming music to lull me off to sleep.

meltdown free.

seriously.

i am simple.

if i really wanted to get complicated, it would involve a lot of productivity. many tasks completed *also* without meltdowns.

oh that would be so wonderful. like a dream. like winning the lotto!

that i actually get to make a difference

every day

my dad.

definitely.

i always wanted to be just like my dad. and do everything that my dad did.

i thought he was the coolest guy.

i still think he’s the coolest guy.

when people ask me, which they often do, how tall i am … i always reply the same thing:

i’m 5’12

and then they look at me funny, and i continue:

six feet is for boys

more and more lately.

i never noticed the need to, outside of work, until my first child got older and then when i had my second … ohlordy … the deep breaths began. and increased ever since.

i couldn’t even estimate how many deep breaths i take in a day. intentionally. to not lose my cool.

i should just, really, for the sake of my self and my sanity during this ongoing CoVidCrisis, take only deep breaths. it would be better for me.

i stopped smoking so that i could take even deeper breaths, as well. to really get the most breath bang for my buck.

deeper and more often. that’s how she goes.

summer

hands down

no questions asked

i wish it could be summer all the time!
