I'm having my usual perfection stress with work, but other than that, the new job is going well. I've been better lately about snapping out of it and stopping to breathe and slow down.

I'm eating healthier with more consistency. The hardest habit to break right now is sugary pop (or soda if you prefer). I know hubs isn't going to stop buying it (I've asked), so I just have to have my own willpower not to grab it from the fridge. He's diabetic, so I'm not just thinking of me. Anyway, I bought some soda flavoring that I tried in seltzer water that I sweetened with stevia, and it wasn't terrible. That and drinking more water might help me break the soda habit. Continuing to eat well and moving more are my next goals.

I'll forever be an independent voter, but it's difficult watching someone go in the direction of Ben Shapiro/Steven Crowder/Jordan Peterson types or worse.

I'm testing candles again for my Etsy shop. I may have finally mastered the ratios for one scent that's been eluding me.

We got a few inches of snow a couple of days ago. Bridget was a very happy pup.
