wait, it's MAY?!

May 01, 2025

Hey there, friend!

So…I've been MIA from your inbox for a couple of weeks. (Sorry about that! Or you're welcome? Depends on how you feel about my rambling emails, I suppose.)

The truth is, I've been drowning in *gestures broadly at everything* and my executive function tank hit empty somewhere around mid-April.

But I didn't want to go another week without saying hi, so here's my extremely scientific graph of how months feel vs. how long they actually are:

Graph showing January-March feeling WAY longer than 30 days, April hovering right at 30, and then May through December doing a dramatic nosedive into single and negative digits. Arrow pointing to the beginning of May with “we are here” text

Back to my original question: it’s MAY!?!?!?!

Wasn’t I just complaining about January lasting approximately 74 years, and now, suddenly, we’re plummeting towards December like my dopamine when the thrill of a new project wears off.

Guess I should get my Christmas shopping done now since the holidays are right around the corner.

Anyway, despite feeling like a zombie version of an author these days, I do have some fun newsletter ideas bubbling up:

Something about menopause and the animal kingdom that will make you question why evolution hates some of us.
A piece on the trouble my dog could cause if she had any deductive reasoning skills.
A follow-up about my bathroom project. I think the stars are about to align, ya’ll!!!
