Learning to Rest!

The reason I have been MIA is that I was ill. I had Kidney surgery two weeks ago and I barely started feeling better this last Friday. But during this time I mostly slept. I wasn’t just recovering, I was to the bones exhausted.

This has made me think a lot about my health, burnout, and future. I love putting together information like you see above. I love creating tools for users to make their lives easier and streamlined. I love writing ads. I love doing creative work.

What I don’t love is how the work never ends, we never get a chance to breathe and the amount of responsibility I have to keep Mothers going is enormous. And frankly, it has me rethinking my original protest that started this whole thing.

I hate the politics of politics. I just want to work on good things, with good people, and get a lot accomplished by being focused on THE PEOPLE. And that’s what I am going to continue doing. But from now on I have to reclaim time with my kids and sleep. I am teaching myself to sleep again. I’m still going to keep going but I don’t give one shit about what anyone says or thinks about me anymore. The truth is I have accomplished a lot more than a lot of people and I am proud of my work and I am fresh out of fucks for those that suck up my energy and focus.

We have a real opportunity right now to say I am a Democrat and I believe in Farmers, Teachers, Students, and workers. We have a chance right now to connect with people and that’s what I will be focused on. THE WORK!

See you all at the Capitol,

Nancy Thompson
