It's National Infertility Awareness Week. While I don't have anything specific to share, I appreciate that it exists. It should be recognized in solidarity with anyone struggling to build their family.

The former police officer who killed George Floyd was convicted on all three counts. As sad and upset as I feel about the unfairness of what people of color go through, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what they're feeling. Photos of people reacting started flooding my newsfeed on social media. People crying; kneeling in the middle of the street; pulling the car over to process... overcome with feelings. I feel emotional. I recognize it's not about me.

At the start of the pandemic I ordered a pair of jeans to wear around the house. Comfy and zoom-appropriate. I made the mistake of ordering just a hair too small "to encourage" weight loss so they never fit right. While I was in the category of people who gained weight during those stressful first months of lockdown, I've since gotten back to baseline so we're back to just a bit too snug. My goal is to fit into them comfortably by end of May. Maybe if I write that down I'll be more inclined to follow through.
