Star Wars storywalk

Dear Js, This has been a crazy year. We had a ‘war room’ for the last few months, chasing after an aggressive goal. All that hard work. No financial reward as yet. Just experience and scars. Outside of work, I have killed Secret Campfire. And

Like a one-legged man in an ass- kicking contest

Dear Js, I wrote a whole bunch of stuff over the last two weeks. But for some reason it got deleted. Serves me right for trusting a web-based text box again. I feel like Sisyphus. Like someone rolling a rock up a long hill, then

Whatever

Dear Js, Mama sent her first newsletter to all her past clients, as well as moms who signed up at her group! I knew something was up when she rummaged through all her bags and nooks for scraps of paper she wrote emails on. She

The misadventures of the poo train

Dear Js, So I haven’t figured out how to get you to poo. But I did somewhat figure out how to get you to agree to laxatives. You kept delaying, saying I’ll make it after dinner. I’ll go tomorrow. I’ll do it after bath time.

Work buys happiness (audio evidence)

You need feelings to make straight choices

Dear Js, This beer. It’s not working. Not tipsy enough. I’m fetching another. The first one was my Friday beer. The next one is my celebration beer. Why? Because I kicked ass today. Mama did too, but I’ll do me first this time, then her,
