    I used to think dreams were supposed to be this wild playground where your brain finally gets to cut loose and do something interesting for once. You know, flying around, meeting celebrities, having those weird conversations with people who’ve been dead for decades but somehow know all about your current relationship problems.

    I’m sitting in my Honda last Tuesday, crawling through downtown Minneapolis traffic that’s barely moving, trying to make a hands-free call to my sister Linda. Should be simple, right? That’s what they promised when Donald bought this car three years ago – just talk to it like a person, Ruth, it’ll understand you perfectly. “Call...

    Well, I’m about to admit something that might shock the nice ladies from my book club who occasionally read this: I am a complete organizational failure. There, I said it.

    I’ve been managing projects for over a decade, which means I’ve seen every productivity tool known to humanity promise to revolutionize my schedule management. Spoiler alert: they’re all lying. Last Thursday I sat alone in a Starbucks in Midtown for forty minutes, periodically checking my phone and wondering if I’d somehow missed my 3 PM...

    You know what I love about social media? How it makes everything look so effortlessly perfect that you forget actual humans with regular-sized kitchens and questionable knife skills are behind those dreamy photos.

    I used to think the most frustrating part of my day was explaining to teenagers why they can’t turn in a research paper written entirely in text speak.

    So apparently I’m now the office freak because I… eat food when I’m hungry? Wild concept, I know.

    I was drinking my morning coffee yesterday when I opened my news app and found this perfectly normal-looking article about stock market trends. Read through the whole thing, nodding along, thinking “huh, interesting perspective on earnings reports.” Then I scrolled to the bottom and saw it.

    So there I was last Tuesday, staring at this wellness program signup form like it was asking for my social security number and firstborn child.
