Accountability post... Met with my doc this evening. Gonna try some new stuff and see how that works. Here's hoping we might have solved one health riddle.

Self-care took priority. Trying again tomorrow.

I'm still finding my footing, but I hear you on the complex plots. I can also get super detailed to the point of paralysis if I let myself.

Trying to find that right blend of depth and momentum - that's what's been giving me grief the last few weeks.

She's surprisingly supportive for an opinionated, snarky trash goblin 😂

I think our mutual love and adoration of "What's My Line?", an old TV panel quiz show, helped forge our collaboration 😁

Plus, we both have low key crushes on Arlene Francis and her signature wit ❤️

What's My Line?

The What's My Line? channel features all 757 episodes in the Goodson-Todman archive of the classic game show "What's My Line?" which aired on CBS from 1950 to 1967, plus much more: Dozens of "extras" ...

Nearly forgot to check-in. Me and the muse were deep into some notes this morning which I hope to put to productive use after work.

Provided, of course, I have any brain cells left at that time 😮‍💨

Love you 💜

Accountability post... Worked on some notes from this morning. I think I've wrangled my two remaining brain cells to where I can write tomorrow. Even if just a little.

A little more self-care to shore things up 😮‍💨

Accountability post... Not much got done today. I tried to write after work, but no progress made.

Early night, self-care, and reading.

Muse: For fuck's sake, go back to bed.
Me: I wanted to get at least one paragraph written.
Muse: This is your paragraph. Now get your ass back into bed.
Me: No negotiating?
Muse: You're fucking sick, go to bed!
Me: Fine...

Accountability post... Been feeling off all day today. I really hope I'm not getting sick. I did try writing a little earlier, but only got about 100 words in before my head said "no more".

Calling it an early night.

Ugh, woke up stiff jointed and have a pounding headache already. Looks like self-care takes the driver's seat this morning. Maybe after this ibuprofen kicks in I can get to writing.

That I was able to shutdown the lies my toxic, gaslighting boss tried to feed me when I raised a significant risk factor to him. Told me I was overreacting, so I brought him receipts he couldn't refute.

Quite tasty 😋 carrot juice is sweet, an earthier version of orange juice in IMHO. Paired nicely with raspberry, lemon, and orange sherbet 😍

All of the above with his own special brand of bullshit. Toxic, gaslighting, and too scared of my team to "confront them" about their way of working. But he expects me to magically work miracles because he suggested I do something 🙄😮‍💨
