I did this last year. I was drinking a bottle of wine basically every night and smoking a pack of cigarettes to go with it. In an attempt to quit smoking (haven’t since may!) I just stopped drinking. I drank tons of bubbly water instead. It was hard at first but it got way easier. I’ve let myself drink more often now.…

Comfort food-lately, dumplings with furikake, sesame oil and soy sauce. I wear my most comfortable pajamas and sleep as late as I want. Long hot showers.

Good luck!!! You can do it. I’m in the same position, literally. Waiting to hear if a grant goes through to fund my position, so I can move back to my home state as well. I’m a nervous wreck.

A new vacuum. Fucking love it, especially with three pets. This week I bought a new mattress and it’s life changing. I am so happy. Congrats on your new fridge. I hope you fill it with things that make you happy.

agree re: the strange dialect. i’m also a native speaker and i could hardly understand them.

We showed up and left after 10 mins. My husband faked a stomach ache. No one can blame us! We tried.

I have to go out to dinner w my in-laws and 15 of their colleagues. Racists, fascists, trumpists, misogynists. I already told my husband that if any one of them says something fucked up I’m not going to just take it quietly. I just want to stay in and watch Harry Potter. Ugh.

i was in therapy a few years ago when my anxiety was at its worst. she was really helpful and i saw her for about a year. i think i’m going to try meditation. you’re the fourth or fifth person to recommend it. i think it’ll be good to try and corral my thoughts, thank you.

a friend of mine recommended a meditation app that worked well for him, so i think i’ll finally try it. you’ve convinced me. it’s called headspace. have you heard of it?

two tarte lippy lingerie pens (pure and envy) and a tarte lip scrub. the scrub is amazinggggg i love it!

my anxiety is starting to spiral out of control i think. i am in north texas for the holiday and it may storm on sunday and i am on the verge of panicking about a potential tornado, which is obviously unlikely, but still one of my biggest fears, especially because i’ll be home alone. i’ve been flying a lot lately and…

i’m stuck at my in-laws house which really sucks. i don’t want to be here but felt obligated. i’m just going to drink a lot. ugh.

Our Shaya reservation is today!! I’m excited to go there. :)

I always feel lonely and left out during the holidays. My husband is Jewish so we do some Hanukkah things but that’s not my thing you know? And neither is Christmas. It’s almost over. How are you doing?

Congrats! What was phase one? I need to exercise :/

Good luck! You got this.

Where’d you go Bernadette is fun!

35 thousand?!?!?!?!
