Like any normal person I strive to be a better person today than I was yesterday. Ya know?
I've been trying to "improve" on my baseline self for what feels like forever.
I am the least patient/forgiving than I've ever been in my life.
How are yall in your healing era?
Cuz fuck everything rn

There's a special election in TN today.
In 2024, Trump won that district by something like 20 points.
The most recent poll has the democrat 2 points behind with 5 points of people saying they are "undecided" making it a legit race.
We likely won't win.
But I really want us to come close

After not running or doing any meaningful cardio for the vast majority of 2025, I decided I should exercise, and I have jogged a 5k every day for the last 3 days.
I do not understanding easing into activities.
Whether it's hobbies, work, or exercise, I am mentally at 0 or 100.
I'm gonna die

We may get 2-4 inches of snow tomorrow.
I just want them to be wildly off base and we end up getting 15 inches of snow and I have another day off.

My husband, who "isn't a cat guy", but he's the one who has installed cat doors in all the walls of the house so they never get locked in a room....and I often come into the room to find the cat tucked into bed.

Im supposed to have the day off today, instead I'm answering emails because I see the notifications and feel compelled.
Im not a healthy person, but I don't know what to do about it. If I sit there not answering it, I will fixate on it. If I turn off notifications, I may not turn them back on #ADHD

I have one more day off tomorrow and then it's back to work. I had a glorious 5 days off.
I need to take 2 weeks off, though. I feel like I am halfway recharged...which is better than a flaming garbage barge that i was...but still... I need just a few more days to really truly reboot.

Did yall Americans survive this holiday, or did you go no contact due to family members espousing nazi views like we did with my in laws?
Gotta love time together with the family.
Forever grateful all but one republican in my family is firmly anti trump. Most switched to indie party in 2016.

Anyone have a recommendation for a SFF version of these two?

An amazing follow up to Orconomics.
It's Pratchett adjacent with a big theme on classism, racism, and economics. A rare instance where I feel compelled to complete the series since usually I am fine with book 1 only.

I reviewed a book!
Everyone, please clap, I've been unable to do this for 2 months due to a mental block.
As someone who almost never gets genuinely emotional about a book - this one almost made me cry.
