In which I skip out on Instagram and Facebook for the month of March but still allow myself the internet.

Day 1: Super productive. Made myself a delicious egg sandwich for breakfast. Wrote 4,000 words for someone else, and a few for myself. Put away all of my stuff from my overnight with my boo, applied for a medical marijuana card, walked to the library where I commiserated with my lovely librarian neighbor Beth about the newly-painted hot pink house at the end of the street while I picked up Ross Gay’s The Book of Delights. Walked to The Wine Source where I got coffee and showed incredible restraint in the face of a wide assortment of delicious treats while the coffee was being ground.

On the way home, I wonder if it’s too early to start drinking. Maybe just a glass of wine.

Once at home, I realize I am hungry. It’s not even four o’clock, and I get a glimpse into why old people eat so early. Without the constant distraction and disruption of social media, they finish #allofthethings and sort of run out of stuff to do, so dinner seems as good an idea as any.

I am sad at that thought but looking forward to my sorority girl’s snack of salad with chicken tenders. #SolidKarenMove
