It was a chili cheese fries kind of day.

I’m still sick – I can finally breathe through both nostrils, but I can’t stop coughing now. I tested neg for Covid, so it’s just an annoying common cold. But I def was less sick the one time I got Covid – Let me paint you a pretty picture: I’ve gone through 6 boxes of tissues, the skin around my nose is raw as fuck even though I’ve solely been using the tissues with lotion in it, I keep having coughing fits even though I’ve sucked on a whole bag of Ricola, and every time I sneeze (frequently), snot flies everywhere. Boys, try not to fall in love with me.

It’d be fine if I could just wallow in my own self-pity alone, but I picked up Milo from my parents and all he wants to do is play. He keeps bringing me his toys 🥹

Also, he removed all the eyes from his favorite toys 😅 Should I be concerned?

I walked him to Petco Park so he could burn off some energy, but I forgot there was a ballgame this afternoon. I could hear the roar of the crowd from blocks away. Were the Padres winning?

Nope. Just a fuck ton of Cubs fans in SD 🙄

I took 3 days off from work, so I’m back at work and catching up. We got a note that the CEO didn’t like one of the emails that went out for Mother’s Day.

Direct quote: ‘I think it could be a lot sexier.’

First of all, I’ve been told by Marketing to avoid using models who are showing their midriffs bc our customers are conservative, and second of all, you are 85-years-old. Pump your brakes, my guy ✋🏻

I didn’t design it, but I worked on the international job based on that email with translations for 15+ countries and 500+ assets 😵‍💫 The domestic email’s being redesigned, and I’ll have to redo the entire international job based on the new creative first thing tomorrow.

Also, I started my period today. As boss lādāy would say, ‘The devil is working hard today!’

Update:

My coworkers talked me off the ledge by reminding me that I’ve survived worse 😮‍💨
