Me: “God, being nice all day is exhausting.”
Someone else: “Didn’t you make one of your coworkers cry today?”

I should probably mention that I have #books once in a while instead of just posting cat and food pictures. 🤣 If you're looking for some Octobery reading, my feminine gothic horror, Church of Shadows, is available at most of the online #book retailers. Find it on Amazon here: tinyurl.com/287pb5sb

If your day job stresses you out, I highly recommend going outside and walking until the world of men no longer matters to you. #exercise #writerlife 🚶♀️🌳
