I’m having a bad mental health day. You’d think a new puppy would help with that, but I have to go to work today. Therefore, I will lack the good vibes of the new puppy. And believe me, this guy helps.

For now though, I just have to get through my day. It’s also my oldest’s 18th birthday. Big day today.

As for writing… we’ll see. Sometimes writing helps on days like these. But sometimes on these days, I hate everything and trying to be creative is worse for me. Every word and sentence is terrible and I shouldn’t be doing this. Even my favorite lines. They’re corny or too snarky, or whatever. I hate them.

This might be a day of just keeping my mind blank and getting home. Sometimes, being customer service Kate helps. I don’t have to think. I have scripts. Just focus on one customer at a time and getting the job done. No thinking and no need to.

For now, I’m getting another cup of coffee before I take the dogs out back and try to get my mind right before work.
