Holy cow! It's a whole year of episodes! They made it! Huzzah! This week, Anna struggled a lot with distractions. Sy was still pulling out of last week's funk and was also struck with insomnia and the red tide - which never helps. But overall they got stuff done, and are feeling ok.

Sy and Anna both struggled this week, and have visual proof of their productivity crash in their journals. They're such good friends, they unconsciously matched their negative moods!?! Anna was mostly avoiding editing and feeling lazy, Sy legit had some mental health nastiness sabotage her week. Both recognized their struggles and have started taking steps to break the cycle and are making plans and setting goals for a better week.

Huzzah! They made it to 50! Sy had a good week, including a therapy appointment that went very well. Yay for competent mental health professionals! That plus a better journalling system has led to a much more productive week. Anna had productive days and lazy days but overall accomplished a lot, and even managed to work out twice!

Anna struggled a bit to settle back into a routine after the trip, but she still adulted reasonably well. Sy had some very busy and productive days, and went for a run! You'd think this would be a short chat since it's only been half a week since the last one - but you'd be wrong.

The long-awaited mini chat in which Sy and Anna talk about the ways in which the TV show "Rizzoli and Isles" portrays life's many kinds of relationships better than most other shows.

Anna is back from her convention and mostly recovered. There was some drama getting to Chicago, but everything went beautifully from there. Sy finally realized she hasn't been recording her days and needs to. She's fine but needs to work on her addiction to TV and the interwebs as a way to avoid the adulting.

Both Sy and Anna had stressful weeks. They also had the usual tangents - this time about singing, family drama (divorce! debt! resentment! oh my!), and coloring books.

Sy's insomnia struck and she burned out writing, making her so tired she can't even. Anna had a productive week - in spite of a near-disaster with her keyboard and some emotional stress overflow from the husband. But we both survived. It's a miracle!

Anna is better this week, setting daily goals and journalling and taking steps to prepare for her upcoming trip.  Sy got an unexpected email of good news her jerk-brain isn't letting her accept. She is working on tackling the new challenge and shutting up the jerk brain. THEN SHE'S CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY!! Also, we ramble about lots of tangential things, like we do.

This week, Sy is a jerk and makes Anna actually talk about her feelings. It takes a while.
