I’m going crazy. If you’re a technical lead, how do you manage writing docs, being in meetings, staying on top of communication, writing code, and alll of that context-switching?
PS - please don’t say “coffee”, okay? people are suffering here and all you wanna do is make jokes. you make me sick 😂

Every once in a while I think about how I was born before the internet was publicly available
I still remember those stupid email chain letters and how they had me in a chokehold thinking that if I didn’t forward them to 14 people in 1 hr I’d never meet my soulmate 😕
I have lived SO MUCH LIFE

My version of rest doesn’t look like just sitting around doing nothing. It never has.
I feel rested and restored when I’m building things, creating, and tinkering
And in 2026 I’m continuing to embrace that. This is my version of a “soft life”

Bought 6 pears so I could have a lil baked pear with honey for dessert instead of the cookies we baked
After 2 hrs of eerie quiet, I came upstairs to:
🍪 0 cookies
🍐 0 pears
👦🏾 1 child saying “Mommy it’s Thurs and that means it’s movie night (aka pizza and popcorn for dinner)!”
Diet starts Monday!

After a couple of back-to-back fails as a mom/big sister/friend/auntie, I was feeling v bad about myself & was starting to do That Thing where I start to tell myself I suck (instead of saying “the things I did suck, but they were only mistakes & I’m still a great person”)

ADHD is going downstairs to get a trash bag, coming back upstairs 45 min later with a pair of scissors and a USB-C cable, realizing you forgot the trash bag, going back downstairs, making yourself a cup of coffee while looking up apple pie recipes on your phone, and never going back upstairs

Tonight (a normal Wed) my 8yo fought back tears as he was getting ready for bed
I turned him toward me and asked what was wrong. He said “I had so much fun with you today and don’t want it to end 😭” (his face turned into that exact emoji)
Being so loved by the person you love the most is just- 🥹
