It’s 2025, so I figured I’d add a quick blog post a year early.
I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to let you know that I’m mostly active on other platforms now, but if you have navigated here and enjoyed any of the stuff I’ve written, thank you! If you feel so inclined, you can even buy me a coffee.
I’ve rediscovered a few things I love, including writing, reading, [not ‘rithmetic — I’m worse than ever at that, thank you phones], and updating old blogs for relevancy.
These days, my DIY/sewing life has screeched to a halt. I have committed to reading and journaling more often as a way to reduce the otherwise almost-certain odds of burnout. One thing I’ve learned in the past couple of years is that working somewhere involving constant communication and documentation leaves me exhausted at the end of the week, and most of my weekends are dedicated to rest. I do want to bring back some leisure, but the dreary Ontario weather has so far made that complicated.
Anyway, all things considered in the world, things are generally good for me and I feel grateful. I’m leaning back into things I used to find joy in in my much younger years — for a while, that even involved tarot cards, though lately I do more collecting decks than reading them — and I am learning to know this new version of myself that channels Kim Wexler to do adult things, and allows herself to relax more and be silly at night, as well as speak the truth about her feelings, which was something I felt I had to hide for a long time for some reason.
So listen. Thanks for being here.
I hope you have a very good weekend. Talk again soon.
