Sending you love, Jodi. I don’t think much can take you down. You’re a fucking warrior woman. xoxo

OMG The Jodi, your plate is full and trying to keep sarcasm etc out is a job for an angel. What a world. Glad you are in it.

Take the SS as soon as you can. Get it now, just in case it goes away and because money now, from a financial security POV, is always better than “MAYBE money later”.

The soundbath sounds amazing! I’ve done a couple but never coupled with biofeedback.

It's a project by someone I know. It's hooked up to his brain waves, turned into sound and music. That's all I know, but it sounds...transformative. A little trippy. And I could use that right about now. I'll let you know how it goes, it's part of my self-care efforts.

Trying to figure out how to trigger SS to start in January, it's a considerable jump, and only a few months to wait.

Thank you, my friend, for the coffee.🩵

I’m with you on the calls and paperwork and incompetence. I think one of the most frustrating things is that in many cases you’re just stuck dealing with people who make your life more difficult. It’s not as easy as deciding you like one pasta sauce over another and just buy the tastier one. I hate feeling like my time is being wasted on endless calls that go nowhere, whether for caregiving or otherwise.

I hope you get some respite this week. I’m very curious about the soundbath and would love to hear how that goes.

The soundbath should be respite. It's hooked up to someone else's brain waves, turned into sound and music. That's all I know, but it sounds...next level self-care. My best trick is something I learned in recovery, but don't always remember when I need it. That I can start my day over at any time. I can hit the reset button and start over. Hard to remember when I'm grinding my teeth, but it does help.

Thank you for the restack and the kind words.
