FYI: Scratch out the 39 and write 50, since the picture still applies.

It’s hard to come up with creative stuff to write about when your brain has officially turned to jello. That’s usually where I am at thus point in the week. I even failed at Wordle, missing the word for the first time since February.

But here I am at the end of the day, talking about it all in past tense. Some days, your victory will be that you persevered and survived, even if you have nothing else to show for it. For me, I actually accomplished quite a lot. Still, I know what it’s like to be able to say, “My accomplishment for the day is that I’m still here.”

Plus, there’s coffee. As long as I have my well-doctored cup(s) of coffee, I will be fine. Whatever the day throws at me, caffeine will lie to me and tell me how easy it all will be. Plus, coffee does tend to help you keep your eyes open, which I believe is considered important if you want to do your job well.

I also believe that you need to celebrate the little victories and small accomplishments. So yay me for not falling down any stairs or punching myself in the face today. Well done.
