I thought I could blame January for a lot of my winter blahs…but we’re into February and even though it’s getting lighter, I just can’t even this week.

So here’s some Relatable Content I saved from Instagram about how my brain feels lately:

Yuuup–but substitute “schedule a dentist appointment” or “return that Madewell order” or “look into refinancing the house” instead. (via)

 

Yes, even though I got a PR last week and felt super strong, this week has been a struggle to get to the gym. (Also, that Drawinfrogs account is a delight.)

Good thing feelings aren’t facts and feelings will pass.

It’s the “oh no I don’t have a post” Instagram roundup, mostly text edition.

And there’s always therapy Instagram, too.

And finally, I really feel this one. Baby Yoda and I are both so pleased that it’s the pandemic’s fault this time.

Well, grams of the times. Some Instagram stuff lately:

My therapist has been on maternity leave since the first week of April and WOW can I tell. I saw this on Instagram last week and realized I’d slipped right back into being the “let me fix it so you don’t have an uncomfortable feeling” friend/daughter/parter, instead of being the truly empathetic one.

This shit takes work! It’s like going to the gym, you gotta just do it regularly.)
