I used to do the /word-a-day challenge every day. Then I missed a day, then a week, and somehow found myself in a quagmire of other things demanding my attention. Fresh streak started . . . 1 ✍🏻

I’ve been creating for years, but after so long in healthcare consulting, there’s still a reflex to want someone to validate me as an artist. Imposter syndrome is persistent like that 🫠

I’m building a new proposal for a potential client today and started with a cursory pass, meaning I sketched it out just enough to get the structure and flow without getting pulled into every detail yet. It’s a good way to see what’s taking shape before refining it. On a sidenote, this is a big opportunity for me!!!

I'm starting to think some habits are just immutable. I've rearranged my morning routine more times than I can count lately. Tried waking up earlier, sleeping later, delaying coffee, eating breakfast, exercising, walking Izzy earlier, not checking my phone, journaling. Simply changing things up to feel "healthy". But somehow I always end up doomscrolling a bit too long, coffee in hand and of course Izzy supervising. Could be worse.

Izzy and I sleep in, so we miss most sunrises. But we catch the sunset. Arizona skies go deep orange for a few perfect minutes, and that kind of beauty is transient.

Izzy sleeps diagonally across my full-size bed and I end up curled around the edge like a guest. Magnanimous of me, don’t ya think 🤔

I can contemplate a lot with a cup of coffee (or two) and only Izzy for supervision.

If I can’t point to something tangible I’ve done, I’m pretty sure I just vibed all day. Izzy can confirm. There may even have been scooby snacks.
