I cling to my gym membership like grim death.

Lifting heavy three times a week has kept my depression in check for a long time. I still get low, but not horribly, horribly low, and I'm stronger than most of my guy friends at this point. All around win!

Here we go, my only baller move.

Oh, god. The overly earnest dude who doesn't want to pay for public services because "gub'ment" but does want to tell me what I can and cannot do to my own body because it's for my own good. Did he use the "but abortion's so gross!" argument? Because they always seem to fall back on that one.

Kid Electron loves Lego and princesses, and will tell you with all the haughtiness a three-year-old can muster that Princess Leia is a princess. It doesn't have to be a zero sum thing. She's going to be who she's going to be and you learn to roll with it.

On one end, Snackin' Sara could be my revenge on Kid Electron and her constant need to forage and then immediately reject any and all food that aren't penguin-shaped chicken nuggets (thanks a lot for that one, MIL). On the other hand, she'd probably just present me with Snackin' Sara and demand they both be fed.

I was nodding along until you got to the part where you edited financial releases. I did that, too. I was also told to be more bubbly and passionate about the work. It was a miserable period in my life, and now I'm wondering if we worked for the same company at different times.

Chip — may I call you Chip? — I love my 590s with the fuller waist cut. I have a couple of pairs that I wear religiously. They are the most flattering jeans I've found since Kid Electron made her debut three years ago.

Miata transmissions, especially in the earliest models, were gummy as hell.

I ran into Adam Clayton of U2 on Oahu's north shore.

Y'know if the guys who made Rome had optioned the Masters of Rome instead of just winging it, they'd be on season 10 right now, and GRRM would be a science fiction footnote.

Honestly, I loved watching Sulla go off the rails. It was magnificent. I also adored his friendship with Aurelia. When she goes to beg for Caesar's life? THE BEST.

I love those books so much.

I haven't had a single migraine since I got the CPAP. Seriously, don't just consider it — get the ball rolling tomorrow.

Not to be that person, but the "wake up with a headache" thing jumped out at me. Have you had a sleep study? I had a headache every morning for years, and then last summer, Mr. Atom mentioned I'd stopped breathing in my sleep the night before. Just once, but it scared him. I had a sleep study and was diagnosed with…

Before I had my baby, I got some "dig in" advice, but mostly I heard about how beautifully transformative motherhood was, and how my heart would break from joy at holding her, and how my family would be complete and how my husband would love me at a newer, deeper level, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Kid Electron has eczema in the winter, and it's just murder on her. After three really itchy years, some worthless steroid cream and a couple of dietary/environment changes, I tried Vaseline. Two days. That's all it took. Two days of being slathered in Aveeno and then coated in Vaseline, and her legs were smooth…

I'm dreading the goddamned Valentine's Day goody bags for preschool. I just did Christmas.

FIND YOUR KILLER DRESS NOW!

Every time he's reminded that she's dating Nick Kroll, Mr. Atom will shout, "BUT LESLIE IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE DOUCHE!"
