  • Mental Health September 2026

    Every year around this time I keep coming up with “A Plan.” “The Plan.” The plan to fix all of my personal organization issues, keep a house, manage the yard, be a good parent, pet parent, regularly exercise, be creative, achieve my writing goals, stay hydrated, and maybe squeeze in paid employment.
