so, *is* this what you want?

a friendly intro to this newsletter before i get into the good stuff

hi there, friends.

So, if you’re reading this, you might already know that I, as a fully vaccinated healthcare worker, tested positive for COVID-19. It’s a bummer, but I’m lucky enough to be asymptomatic (for the most part) and to have a wonderful support system. Really, the worst part about this whole experience has been isolating from my wonderful partner— who has been relegated to sleeping in the living room— and not being able to cuddle with him. It’s a total bummer, and it happened because I am starting a new position on the first of the month and had to do a bunch of health clearance stuff. Luckily, work is allowing me to work from home for the first week (whew! We love a good support system) until I pass clearance. You know what that means? I have a lot of time to scour the internet, consume media in all its shapes and forms, and buying stuff.

so why should I read this?

I mean, you don’t have to, but this is a nice newsletter/site to look at the things that I am admiring, consuming and lusting over. A lot of them have suggestions, but also it’s an informal place for me to shoot the shit with you all without the added pressure of feeling like I need to write anything serious. It’s a good place to have a conversation (besides, comments are open, so spam away, y’all!)

We’re on this journey together! I have no idea what’s going to come out of my mouth (or in this case, my fingers?) We’re exploring and all that together. So click subscribe if you’re interested, uhhh… yeah, first post is coming soon!
