What gives me anxiety/ stress is seeing everyone I know reach their publishing goals and feeling behind/ jealous because I’m not there yet I’ve got three projects that I start and stop bc of lack of time I just have to keep reminding myself we all move at our own pace and I’ll get there eventually.

One thing about my dog is that she will tell me when she ready for bed … all lights gotta be off by 9 or else. She must think that’s she’s the alpha in this house
