After #writing the first draft of my novel, I stepped away from it for a month (as suggested by @thenovelry). But then I moved, was bedridden for two weeks with covid, and had way too much work to catch up on. So, THREE months later, I'm finally back at it. Fingers crossed!

Nothing like a dance party in the bathroom to wake me up for a workshop at @thenovelry 3 hours after my bedtime. But a Lopi cannot miss the opportunity to bathe in the wisdom of @tashadrinkstea!

I like to ride that fine line of eating just enough chocolate that I don’t feel so sick I can’t eat another.
I fail every time…

Anyone else experience the #MacBookPro battery swelling after 5 or so years? We're going through it all for the third time (all separate devices), and as much as @Apple says it's not normal and won't cover the cost of replacing the battery, it seems really common.

Now I’m annoyed when my car doesn’t wirelessly connect to my phone immediately so I can stream unlimited music from the magical interwebs…
