Overthinking is a fight or flight response, more accurately it's freeze. This is not to say all action is not fight or flight. In fact, fight and flight are actions. It's to say the ability to make mistakes in problem solving action is outside of the survival mechanism.

As someone who was often stuck with "it's a made up holiday" men who did the bare minimum if anything at all or were absolutely traumatic, I was happy to be free of the disappointment straight men bring to Valentine's Day this year. I spent the evening as I wished, no excuses needed.

The lovebombing with my ex was the first time someone was completed enchanted by me. It sucks it was fake. I don't ever care to have anything less or repeat not being "good enough". I'm aware that no one may genuinely feel that way about me. It just won't ever exist.

My ex brings drama and stress to my life. It's him and the people around him. I'm lethargic and want to hibernate at an exact time when I cannot. I'm recalibrating. We haven't restored no contact but we're down to 5-10% with silence for the remainder of the week. S P A C E

I don't think I'm better than another person. I made mistakes and done things I regret. I regret poor choices and don't repeat mistakes. Some people insist on being negative hateful garbage. I think I'm better than whatever that is because I actually choose to be and I honor that in others.

Just spent 3 hours to unsuccessfully complete 2 edits because the previous "web developer" used Mobirise for my client's website and it's literally the worst, most restrictive platform on earth. I'm exhausted.

I miss energy drinks and caffeine. Making your own energy from scratch is stupid.

My ex who was stalking is now in prison on charges of vehicular manslaughter with DUI. His alcoholism has casualties and my heart breaks. I'm praying for the family who lost their loved one last night. Our lives change in a moment.

I want bluesky to allow me to edit posts and change my username. A protected/followers only feature would be cool too.

I've been binge-watching Sisterwives for the second time in my life. TV junk food. The toxic behavior is obvious at the start after I've seen it in fuller forms in later seasons. I would feel better if this was fiction and not real people. As a mom, my heart breaks for Janelle and her family.

I'm not saying my life is hard but I don't think there's enough attention on when a sharp piece of tortilla chip gets caught in your throat.

This image resonates with me and the journey I've been on. There are a lot of grim things ahead in this year for everyone but I cannot help to be proud of everything I've overcome and be excited about everything ahead.

DAMMIT NPR. I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded. Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

Furthest North I've ever been: Denmark/Scotland Furthest South I've ever been: Hawaii Furthest East I've ever been: Greece Furthest West I've ever been: Hawaii This is why you leave the country, American boys and girls. At the very least get to Hawaii or Alaska if you can't go international.

I was browsing for large artwork for my living room when I realized I know artists. All I have to do is save to commission a piece instead of buying some cheap canvas print. FYI I pay my friends what they charge because I am their friend.

Christmas dinner is done. Burnt ends with roasted carrots, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and homemade cornbread. Omg I'm overfull. We're on The Two Towers in our extended cut LOTR screening. Remember this day ❤️

Christmas Movie Month Day 24: The Muppet Christmas Carol We started Christmas Movie Month here, we conclude here. The absence of arguments, meanness, and drunkenness is replaced by relaxation, joy, and gratitude. Traditions have returned. Everything is better without him. Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄🌟🎁

Christmas Movie Month Day 23: A Christmas Carol The gothic and most delightfully captivating retelling of my favorite Christmas tale. It's a reminder that Christmas is set in the darkness of winter and it's we who bring the light. It's the best thing you'll see without Muppets or Snoopy.

Christmas Movie Month Day 22: Home Alone One of my dad's favorite Christmas movies on the eve of his birthday. He would have been 94 tomorrow. I hope he's enjoying all the slapstick humor from charming Kevin McAlister with me.

Christmas Movie Month Day 21: A Christmas Carol (1999) This is Patrick Stewart's incredible portrayal of Scrooge but it must be said Saskia Reeves is the second greatest Mrs Cratchit ever, even outranking Miss Piggy's performance.

Christmas Movie Month Day 20: How the Grinch Stole Christmas Hurt people hurt people. Trauma makes joy intolerable and the only remedy is supportive kindness and a willingness for that person to heal.

If you’re in stores this weekend, be extra nice to the retail workers! It’s not your fault you waited til Mary’s water broke before you started shopping.
