Why am I less sleepy than when I have caffeine?
I was meant to be asleep 2 hours ago, since I have to be to work in 6.

There are trade offs. you pay for the money you get in the integrity of your body and health, and you will probably not live as long as your white collar colleagues. But for pure job and monetary security, it's hard to beat the trades.

You know that feeling when you're almost asleep, and then you realize one thing isn't quite right? Toes too cold, arm starting to fall asleep, need to pee, etc.
That's how I've felt my whole adult life.

Glad I took Monday off, although I do need to be back by dinner.
Current plan is to leave Sunday afternoon and possibly snag a hotel outside Des Moines.
May leave Sunday morning and take 90 to 29 instead.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.

This map shows the National Weather Service’s forecast snow totals. In Iowa, there’s a chance that even higher totals area realized.
Confidence is increasing for 8+ inches in Chicago and Madison, the bulk of which falls on Saturday.
For Indianapolis and Columbus, amounts walk a tightrope.

My exposure to her came through her co-hosting That Curling Show. She was so vibrant!
Also, I have a clip somewhere of Dunstone making an impressive shot in 2019ish and I'm pretty sure it's Colleen who said "I think this kid's fer real!"

Last night on The National we honoured Colleen Jones.
I’m so grateful for everyone who played a role in putting it together and lending their voice to celebrating Colleen’s life and legacy. She was iconic, memorable and so loved.

Feels fitting that I missed reading it in real time because I was working at a hospitality house for cancer patients.

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Definitely here to brag, one of my friends texted me that they're using the baby blanket I gave them in their Christmas card photos.
There is little that makes me feel as good as seeing one of the blankets I've made being used. 🧶

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
