Always a runner, sometimes a marathoner.

Sometimes it feels like runners talk a lot about unseasonably warm conditions at marathons or stifling conditions in Tokyo for the world championships, but not enough about climate change.

I’ve never spoken or typed anything about the P@ragard IUD for my phone to eavesdrop, never mind had one, so IDK why I keep being served ads about the lawsuits for being injured by one. Skeeved out, nonetheless.😵‍💫

Found out a smaller Midwestern fall race I was considering is already sold out.🙄
I’m already over social media bc *gestures around*, but if it ever actually all goes away, I hope a byproduct is that the general public chills on running. I think it’ll wind up more fun again.

That annual sigh of lease-renewal relief that I’ll keep living solo for triple digits (that is, rent below $1K).

Proud of myself for knocking my taxes out early this year, especially as a freelancer who actually does them herself.

Help, I’m in that pre-vacation limbo of not wanting to shop for food that will go bad or spend $ on takeout😖

Stalking the Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian weather a week out and am so excited for cold sunshine.

Can more people get on the Bluesky train already? So fed up with Meta. Almost ready to trash it all and figure anyone who needs to reach me can send a LinkedIn message.

Love to Google “Can you turn off Google AI” only to get their AI telling me I can’t 🙃

Annual Christmas tradition is shaping up to be housesitting w/ a cute dog and booking a spa hot tub experience. Will take it over being around Republican relatives and their inflammatory comments💁🏻‍♀️

Truly, the thing that holds me back from being more of a nomadic worker (vs. WFH and just traveling on vacation) is not being able to bring my monitor and blow up whatever I’m editing to 200 percent.👵🏼🤓😓
