2022: Year of FUN
2021 I don't know about you, but 2021 kicked my butt. Instead of spiraling into misery, and telling you about my year of burnout, panic attacks, and ugly crying, I am going to tell you about my plans(resolution, but scheduled) for the year of 2022. Effective immediately, I am going to have a lot of fun. Yep, even when I am writing this. I'm dancing at my stand-up desk while I type. Of course I still plan on eventually collecting $200,000.00 when passing "Go"(inflation, look it up Monopoly), fitting into my skinny jeans again, and writing a New York Times best selling book(you know, attainable resolutions), but, the important part is that I am going to have fun doing it.

Knit-Wit
Free the Cripple In 2016 I underwent a private surgery to bid adieu to the chronic nerve pain, and lower back pain that had haunted my life for far too long. My family and I were at our wits' end with hearing the word chronic, followed by the word pain. It was time to try a new avenue; one that was not offered by the cookie cutter approach of the Canadian healthcare system. It was time to stop using my no-gravity chair as a crutch, and to stop relying on everyone around me to pick up the thing that I had dropped on the floor (as much as I loved that). The possibility of being free from the imprisonment of back pain that I had grown familiar with was an absolute dream. Being a former rower, swimmer and twenty-three year old who had enjoyed movement, being active and being upright, I was beyond excited for the possibility of returning to the physical activities I loved.

My Dream Career: Writirement
Writirement ("/rīt/"-"/ˈtī(ə)r/"-"/mənt/"): A non-career, or unconventional employment path paved by sweatpants, and earning loads of money for writing. The act of leaving one's job, and writing for income instead. Contrary to traditional retirement, this career path is designed to happen early in life.

If JoJo Rabbit, then Fleabag
Feelings: our ultimate TV guide I believe it is the feeling we seek that steers our movie or television choices. We select a story to feel love, to be thrilled, amused, inspired, optimistic, or comforted. Cinema can be our escape from feeling scared, lonely, sad, sorrowful; or it can be our excuse to feel scared, lonely, sad, or sorrowful. Through story, the screen in front of us allows us to connect to our emotions, and each other. How we felt when we first planted our bums on the couch, has changed, all of forty five minutes later. We travel through an array of feelings, and come back to the screen to feel it again. We watch television and movies to feel human.

The best thirty-five pounds I've ever gained; The Weighted Blanket
In the past year, I have spent more time online shopping than I have working. I guess you could say I spent most of my billable hours online shopping, and then a few hours after "work" online browsing, for extra measure. It's not that I am a bad employee or anything; I am just a product of my environment. The internet is where I make, and spend my money. If the movie Mean Girls was my life, I would play the part of the entire female population of North Shore High School, and my cookies and data would be none other than Regina George. "Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by your cookies and data." *I sheepishly lift my finger off the "checkout now" button and slowly raise my hand.*
