Last night I called a friend and talked about the procrastination struggles I wrote about yesterday. She helped me break one task into bite-sized chunks. And then she made me this! Thanks, LT

Valerie’s post on “The Power of the Period” has brought forth so many personal, funny, moving reader stories of the first time “Aunt Flo” came to visit. Reading them, I had a major flashback not to my first period, which didn’t come until I was 14, but to 6th grade sex ed class, which is…

‘K, so I’m sitting at my desk. I have a to-do list as long as a ZZ top beard. I have coffee, water, chocolate nearby. My computer and internet connection are fine. It’s quiet. And yet. I don’t know where to start because everything is important. And even the things I know are most important feel like mountains to…
