My brain is always spinning way too fast, so for me, it’s putting on a favorite ASMR track AND doing a puzzle like Sudoku. Within minutes I’m dropping the phone on my face. And recently, I’ve been using my new heating pad that has an auto shut off after 2 hours at the foot of my bed… Read More

The morning alarm hack! I figured out about five years ago to do almost the exact same thing, except I don’t get out of bed. But I have a “be awake” alarm and a “get up” alarm about an hour apart. I am allowed to stay in bed, but I can’t go back to sleep. I usually watch two episodes… Read More

A good mattress: we dropped A LOT of coin in a TempurPedic mattress with a moveable base (and has vibration/massage settings!) and we LOVE IT. We probably say at least four times a week, in a wistful, satisfied sigh “I fucking love this bed” to each other. Plus, I have heartburn issues… Read More

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was brought o tears by the acoustic rendition of the theme song at the end..... haha

Cashiered at Kmart. In those days, we were trained to not remove coat hangers from clothes, but instead fold them over into the clothes and put the whole business in a bag. It’s not how I as a customer prefer it, but when it got busy and you were trying to hustle, it was the fastest… Read More

The additional roles that teachers play — like a coach or a department chair — sometimes come with a monetary benefit but often the amount is paltry in comparison to the amount of extra hours and responsibilities these roles require. I coach my school’s Speech and Debate team and… Read More
