#BreakThings: All Nighter
03.01.21
The big difference between working for Congress and working in state government is that things happen here. The tighter timelines, shorter sessions, and balanced budget requirements mean that there are no slow days. But on this last day to transmit bills that originated in your chamber to the other chamber, things are break neck.
I’m currently typing this while holding a quesadilla, hiding in an empty lactation suite, enjoying the 10-minutes that will be my meal break. Then, I’ll be right back it, sifting through the more than 100 bills we will vote on today.
Right now, I love it here. But ask me again at 2:00AM when I pour myself in to bed.
Who else needs to break some things today? Or maybe just read a light edition of the #BreakThings? Let’s play.
I don’t want to spoil these powerful and beautiful photos with a lengthy description. So just hit NPR’s incredible slide show.

Need an alternative? This makeup removing balm is a great option.
As the amount of daily sunshine increases, I feel the hope of spring and summer peeking through the clouds. This Daily Ritual t-shirt dress was one of my go-to options last summer, and I just want to be ready for the first day of warm weather. It’s relaxed, comfortable, and just a little bit special.
This weekend, I heard a truly haunting cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide in the most recent commercial for AirBnB. I’m torn on whether I love it, but it’s definitely worth a listen if you love Stevie Nicks.
Knix make amazing underwear. They can be worn when you’re on your period or if you have light bladder issues. My postpartum and pregnant friends love them. And I’m told they also make fabulous wireless bras and nursing bras.
I wear them as a backup option, and they have made being in the office on my period a much better experience. No one wants to rush out of a meeting that ran long because their feminine hygiene products couldn’t live up to the challenge.
What is your ideal salary? How much money is enough to make you happy?
Tough economic times tend to raise these questions, and this Medium article discusses how your mentality and money habits impact your satisfaction with your earnings. It’s an important article for everyone to read.
Simple enough right?
