I think this pandemic world has almost made it worse sometimes. Some days I am hopping from one Zoom to the next or am available at any time on all sorts of communication be it email or instant message or text.

I follow a great Instagram account @thenapministry. “You are not a machine, stop grinding” They are also online at https://thenapministry.wordpress.com/. Anyway, they examine the liberating power of naps – rest as a form of resistance. Like I need another excuse to nap! On their website, they even ask “How will you be useless to capitalism today?”

I saw your injury on your Instagram story, ouch! Take care of yourself.

Speaking of grind— I’ve been using chainsaws and angle grinders for two days straight and when I set the grinder down before the blade stopped spinning it skinned the back of my hand. I have a deadline so I have “no choice” but to get back up in the morning and get to it.

It really is funny how seriously we take ourselves and our processes. Sometimes when I’m feeling like a total shit show, I imagine myself kicking back watching my life with a bag of popcorn. Let’s see what this chick does next! Oh snap, didn’t see that one coming. (Laughing face)
