I’m so excited for my office Secret Santa because I’m self employed so it’s just me buying myself little treats all month

Thanks, parking meter app, this is a helpful notice!

The website hits are always down on holiday weekends but the main post that got viewed yesterday was “a guided meditation for anxiety” which seems fitting for a day a lot of people dread. I hope it helped. 💜

This is Nola!

Apparently LinkedIn has added puzzle games so I might actually check this account because who doesn't like puzzles??

@WriteDragon I mean my husband has hobbies and they definitely are not the same as my special interests - plus what about folks who made a career from their interest? I feel like hobby doesn’t capture it (but maybe I’m missing something?)

Why does my husband's boss need to see our marriage license to keep me on his insurance every year? It's the same license we showed them last year and the year before and the year before. Do they really think he'd divorce me but keep giving me healthcare?

Have confirmed SNAP payments didn't drop, at least in South Dakota.

HyVee has an add up that they're doing $3 meals for parents and kids eat free.

The Banquet has breakfast and dinner Monday through Saturday.

St. Katherine Drexel is giving out non-perishable groceries as well as wipes and diapers.

Feeding South Dakota is doing a mobile giveaway at Peace Lutheran at 5:30 tonight.

My admin took a couple days off and I am reminded how much of my time went into fielding messages before I hired her. I truly love talking to potential clients, and also my autistic brain is like WHY SO MANY PHONE CALLS 🤣

You know how those pushy sales bots keep emailing all of us? I’ve had a few slip past my spam filter lately so I opened them before marking them as spam. I just got one that said “I saw you opened my last message”

Ok did you also see that I didn’t reply? Leave me alone!

Does anyone want to come over and explain Daylight Savings to the cats because they are LOSING THEIR MINDS about having to wait for dinner

It’s almost time for my favorite Halloween tradition: starting shit on my relatives’ Facebook pages

#Inktober2025 Day 24: Rowdy

@MistressCaution I’ve nicknamed my internal monologue “Travis” so in moments like that I can tell Travis to shut the fuck up because no one likes him

Me when someone else makes a mistake: Listen to me. You are amazing. You are beyond wonderful. It's ok. It was barely even a mistake. You are made of stardust and I love you.

Me when I make a mistake: You absolute piece of filth, you are garbage. You are the single worst human on the planet.

Still a work in progress I guess 🤷♀️

Was trying to describe a breakfast/lunch combo and forgot the word "brunch" and said "blunchfast" and honestly I like my word better

Telehealth Certification Institute: Updates to the APA Telehealth Guidelines

Guess who's doing another course with the Telehealth Certification Institute! It's me! I am going to be transparent: I really struggle with marketing my courses because I am not sure how to make these topics sound catchy in a blog post. I have been repeatedly told that I am a good speaker and make even the blandest topics at least a little bit entertaining, but I struggle to translate that…

Wow Barack Obama wants to help me improve my website’s SEO! Thanks, Obama!

C: Absolutely.

After the errand

M: Ok, ready to work?
C: You absolute fool
