I want to be interesting but I am so tired

A short and sweet newsletter because of winter blues.

On my Substack home feed this week I saw this comment: I want to be interesting but I am so tired.

I had to laugh, because it just summed up my general low-level malaise at the moment. I don’t even have a good excuse for being tired other than it’s freezing, and everyone I know is sick, and I keep forgetting to reply to texts and then wake up in a panic in the middle of the night thinking that everyone must be angry at me.

Am I having a millennial mum midlife crisis? Possibly. Or maybe we all just need to hibernate until winter is over. (Ideally with a good stack of reading material.)

So, that’s all to say this is a pretty brief newsletter today! Hopefully you can relate?
