Okay here’s what’s up: I accidentally left my laptop at work so I can't finish the newsletter. I’m writing this on my phone LIKE A PROFESSIONAL.

I’m going to take this week off because of this, and we will pick back up next week with more Q+A. Treasures and tweets are still below and I can’t wait to read about all your ups and downs this week.

See you in seven days! 👋

🎙️ My friend Angie Elkins of the chatologie podcast is teaching a live podcasting class on Zoom beginning April 19th! It’s a 6-week class that will help provide some tools if you’re either starting a podcast soon or just getting into the beginnings of the podcast grind. If you’re interested in this super helpful resources, you can sign up here!

🧑‍🔬 I personally love a good research story - and this article about Kati Kariko, whose mRNA research laid the groundwork for the COVID vaccines, is so fascinating! Although at times very science-y, my favorite part of the story has to be her celebrating her research by eating an entire bag of Goober’s chocolate-covered peanuts. That resonates with me deeply.

🎭 For all my Hamilfans and/or theater nerds: watch this video about Lin-Manuel Miranda helping to kickstart this vaccination site for entertainment workers in NYC in hopes of encouraging Broadway in New York to return.

Some of you don’t take the Psalms seriously and it shows.

Every day when I walk out the door, or log onto social media, I need to remember the plot. “Christian” doesn’t mean “little Rambo.” It means “little Christ.” I’m on the cross w/Christ. I die w/Christ. I have the power to love my enemies w/Christ. Remember the plot.

Hello everyone! I’ve only commented a few times before but it was big week for me, so here I am!

Treasures: getting my first dose of the Moderna Covid vaccine and having manageable side effects, getting really kind feedback from a couple of my professors (one that I love and one that I’m afraid of—not sure whose praise means more to me, haha!), and chatting with some people who connected through the We Got You Club about mental health diagnoses. Also, that NYTimes article counts as a treasure. I totally cried.

Turds: 3 near-all-nighters in 4 days (it’s the last week of class/beginning of finals at my university) and easing back into very limited social gatherings have me feeling awkward and out of sorts this week. The news continues to be horrible.

I’m taking a time-out tonight and I’m going to watch tv alone under my weighted blanket and eat dinner that I didn’t cook myself. My long-distance best friend, end-of-semester plans, and awesome boyfriend are all helping.

I hope this weekend is good to all of you!

You guyssss.

This week STARTED with us traveling 4 hours to Waco to stay at my Dad’s while my husband commuted to Dallas daily to see his brother in the VA hospital (basically for poisoning his body with alcohol over the last 25 years... he’s only 46). It got worse with my 9-month old niece (my sister’s daughter) having crazy symptoms after a fall (refused to open her eyes for almost 24 hours, super lethargic) that thankfully ended up being scratched corneas (from crying and rubbing her eyes after falling) & a cold. This week ENDED with my 3 year old puking into my hands this morning and having the worst diarrhea ever (TMI?)

Not to mention I had 6AM conference calls 3 days with European colleagues (who take literally coffee breaks in the middle of a meeting, lol)

I AM DONE 💀

We were supposed to head out of town to my cousin’s wedding this weekend but thankfully we are going to stay home and relax and hopefully nurse everyone back to health. I’m planning a book & a bath tonight and nothing else.

Praying you have all had better weeks!
