So…it’s terrible because I literally embody 80- 85% of this post. I do literally have backups of my backups…but I have been doing that for years. I literally do have 12 hobbies, I even grow my own freaking salad garden so I don’t have to go to the store so often. I feel attacked. (But in a kinda good way?!)

In reply to Anon. Hi. I am a little late to the party, but I thought the anon poster was using sarcasm to make an important point. Be kind to yourself. You have set an impossibility high bar for yourself. Navigating a pandemic is hard and risky and scary. Cut yourself some slack and do the next best thing. It's ok.

It was exhausting to read, perfectionism is debilitating.

This is hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. I’m seeing two trends of articles everywhere, the first being the type that this post eviscerates so well, and the second being how it’s OK to feel out of whack and unmotivated because we’re in an unprecendented event (for our lifetimes anyway). A subset of the second group is the ones that come right out and say that it’s capitalism that forces us to be and feel “productive” at all times. I’m squarely in the 2nd group, anti-capitalism subset. But then, I work for the government, so productivity in my world is not quite the same as in the business world.

I’m sorry.

But I’m finding it very, very amusing that the illustration here is a woman in a mask seeming SMELLING a Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana (Flaming Katy) which supposedly has NO FRAGRANCE. It’s supposedly allergy friendly (not for all!) which is good, but again – NOT a fragrant at home flower.

I’m sorry. Again. But OMG the snickers. :D
