#BreakThings: Post Haste

04.20.21

My brain is mush.

My sanity is being held together with duct tape.

We might have seven days left at the Legislature and I don’t know how we’ll get it all done, but I’m about ready to quit now.

These Shimera pajamas arrived at my house Friday. Today, I bought two more pair. That’s how it works when you find something great for <$30.

I feel more depleted now than I did at the start of the pandemic. Can’t make plans. Can’t trust that I can move forward. Just stuck.

It’s called languishing. You may not be depressed, but you’re failing to thrive.
