Breakfast & Other Journeys We Take came out in November. Anthropods came out last month.
Worms is on its way! I finished my "last" round of edits on Monday and currently working on my "last" read through before sending it out again.
The work is never done, and this is what I want.

Change is a central theme in Escape and Transform - something I've had to not only adjust to, but also embrace, in the last couple of weeks. I'd like to run into the woods, feel the fog envelop me.

I was laid off in 2022 by an LMS software company. I started later that year at another place and all of the training was done by the company that laid me off.
I left that job, starting a new one today. All of the training is by the company that laid me off.
I want to scream.
