Our company has made election day a holiday! Not some “if you haven’t already voted, you can take the day” bullshit, but a full on “office is closed, moose out front shoulda told you” holiday. Another nice thing – just … Continue reading →

Oh, let there be light!

Posted on October 10, 2020 by A Dreamer

How do I do this for another *year*?

Posted on October 9, 2020 by A Dreamer

I mean, I will, because I have to, but I just don’t know how I manage it with any shred of grace or sanity. I definitely have pandemic burnout. I am still mostly functioning (though you couldn’t tell it from … Continue reading →

Got my diagnosis

Posted on October 5, 2020 by A Dreamer
