Some great sentences in this piece.

"Rest serves work...rest is idleness with an alibi."

"The rester is preparing to be useful. The idler has, for an hour, simply declined to be."

“I just want to go for a wee and get out again,” says Chay Brown. “But going in there worried — is someone going to say something? — it’s not nice, and that’s why a lot of people have changed their behaviour”.

"The difficulty of always feeling that you ought to be doing something is that you tend to undervalue the times when you’re apparently doing nothing, and those are very important times."

An incredible journey through women's clothes sizing. I aged out of high street sizes in my late 20s and will get to meltdown territory if I try to shop in stores (not because I'm unhappy with my body, because it is so much work). I stick to 2 online stores where I know the size fits.

When they get to 15 "most girls in their cohort will be able to find a size in the women’s clothing section.... This will also likely be the last time this ever happens in their lives."

I told my partner I'd make fun of him for it on social media and he said I'd just be making fun of myself because this way is obviously better ???? 🤔

I still feel like I never want to work on someone else's schedule again. Maybe that feeling will soften with time.
I'm doing a writing class/group. The first few assignments were easy. Now I'm trying to write something more personal and I'm STRUGGGLING. I just need to keep at it. At some point I'll also have to show other people.
I'm walking slower and it's OK, I'm not in a rush. And best of all, I've been able to spend more quality time with the kids than I had for a long time. I have time to figure out the financial side of things later.
