oh by the way—- the people want eternal grackles. I promise it’s not even just me saying it. The are others saying it too—- i can name them if you dont believe me. so that’s what we’re hoping for. swirly apex grackles will be sick though.

rest easy zach. i know it isn’t a game, but i always think of this quote by kobe where he was playing terribly in the first half. before the second half he says “I work too hard. These shots HAVE to fall eventually because I’ve worked too hard”. i know some like to point out it’s an arrogant attitude (probably a kobe hater; as a spurs die-hard, i was the ultimate kobe hater), BUT, what I take away is having confidence that your hard work will win out in the end, even if things are currently going your way.

from the looks of it, everyone knows youre putting in the work. I wonder if it’s possible to care a lot about something, and not feel anxious about it? Probably not. So the anxiety seems only natural.

It’s big brain to always be thinking about what you can do better and fix mistakes made, but make sure to be even bigger brain to take time to rest and rejuvenate.

all the best.

I vouch for his working on the phone while we watch tv. It’s crunch time that starts at 6am trips to Home Depot and ends I don’t know when I’m already asleep most often. Is this US Women’s again and what can I do? Okay I’ll run the store on Mondays and act as a semi-store manager. Might spray paint OOB stakes tomorrow- just learned this today. It’s all hands on deck in a mostly volunteer community.

My husband shows up. Physically and mentally shows up whenever needed. It’s been like this for as long as I can remember and I’m so proud of him. And so exhausted for him. And scared too when I hear about all the chainsaw activity on shaping the course/fallen trees.

Thank you everyone for your support of Mint Discs, its employees and its community. And Zach Jansen, my favorite person in the world… who fell asleep mid-show which inspired me to write this…I wish you the sweetest of dreams ❤️
