Friends who have traded in traditional front door locks for keypad locks, how are you liking them? And did you go with the version that has a back-up key lock? Or straight keypad lock? Thanks!

Well, it’s almost 3 weeks since the election. I am in a full Diet Coke relapse but I have not started smoking cigarettes again. Also bad sisters is so good.

I walked four hours today. Cried all over Boston and Cambridge. Saw some art as well as a modern dance performance. Lots of convos with terrified friends and neighbors, many of whom are planning on leaving Ohio.

And I gotta say, so far it seems like if any platform will foster this balance, it's this place

Just shot awake in a panic. The way I have been doing multiple times a night for the past nine nights. Good healthy sleep is nothing but a memory.

Gorgeous essay by Cindy Lamothe. "Before motherhood, I didn’t understand how chaos and calm could coexist within a person. I didn’t understand that the space I craved was more than physical—it was the room to become, to grow into something beyond myself."

It is so (so!) much! But that's a good first step!! I feel like we need brain assistants who can sort out and organize all the stuff that just confuses the heck out of us. And then we can go from there!

Health issues (for me, brain injury) and financial instability can really do a number on things. I have an uncannily parallel scenario that I'm slowly sorting. Glad you're getting yours figured out!
