Here's the truth. Today has not been my favorite. My parents are sick, and the exhausted daughter in me wants to control a situation that is out of my control.
Ellen went to school for the first time and was scolded for using her own water bottle. The exhausted mother in me wants to pull out all of my favorite adult words to let her teacher know how I feel about that. (I won't)
We sold an old car. We played beat the clock. I have overflowing inboxes. This is... Everyone's life right now if they are lucky? Please don't worry about me because I have the support I need to handle these problems. It is bullshit that not everyone does.
In the midst of it, occasionally I pull up Facebook and feel this unshakable dread that we are getting persistently dumber. On tomorrow's podcast, Sarah and I talk about social media and just what the actual hell we are all doing in what feels like a collective experiment.
