I’m in a terrific mood. Maybe it is just the hormones cycling up. Maybe the red lights we installed in the bedroom are actually improving my sleep quality. Maybe it’s getting a foot of powdery snow over the weekend. So much of life seems to boil down to manage my own circadian rhythms even as […]

Day 1417 and Simple & Finite
An offensive “joke” I learned from my favorite trainer when I was a powerlifter contains a simple truth. You should only ask a former fatty for exercise and nutrition advice. The reasoning is simple. The naturally slim and athletic never had to work for it and as such don’t understand the struggles of the average […]
Day 1416 and Lagom
As no cultural heritage must remain uncommercialized, you can find many pop culture best sellers on Swedish “lagom” philosophy. “Not too little, not too much. Just right” I’d actually never heard of it until today despite being the daughter of a Swedish American man. I am not one for balance though I actually do live […]
It’s fun watching an entire nation realize none of our citizens functionally have opinions of their own as all of the tribalism of the American system slides off the board into the swamp of personal animus. – @almostmedia The great realignment is in full swing. And no one is sure where they stand. The worst […]
Institutional trust in the media has reached a new low point for Americans. The news exists in a strange place for many of us as we must stay informed but it is no longer has quite the same halo of necessity when it comes to life and culture beyond the headlines. Many of us read […]

There is some evidence blue light from screens decreases melatonin production which is why so many sleep hygiene guides suggest using a program like Flux on […]
Day 1408 and Downmarket Sephora
The Sephora Savings event has begun for their loyalty program shoppers. And I’m so disappointed by their holiday merchandising. It’s their downmarket I’ve ever seen the brand while somehow also being incredibly expensive. If you are not aware Sephora is a cosmetics retailer owned by luxury conglomerate LVMH with roughly 2700 stores globally across 34 […]
Day 1406 and Relief
I am so relieved to have the American presidential election wrapped up within just one day. I didn’t think we’d be so lucky to have things decided so quickly. I was emotionally prepared for a long interregnum with bitter fighting over a slim margin of votes. I remember both 2000 and 2020 and neither hanging […]
I spent several hours with my ballot last night. My husband and I engaged in scenario planning with every race and ballot initiative though we’ve been following them all closely through the year. We have done our best to get engaged in the civic life of Montana because that is our obligation as people with […]
We have arrived at Election Eve in America. It’s a bit tense online and in the media, but there is a palpable feeling of relief that the day is finally upon us. That relief dissipates as rapidly as morning mist on a sunny day as the one contemplates the range of possibilities. No one has […]
