I need a GLP-1 but for coffee noise instead of food noise. I’m trying to cut back to one cup a day (from two) and all I can think about is how amazing another cup would be.

I’m so grateful to everyone who has donated so far to my fundraiser. We are at 70%! If you are up for it, could you share this post to help me get that last 30%. Thank you! gofund.me/bde351a10

Hi friends! Some new diagnoses have given me a better idea what's going on health-wise, but also confirmed that I can't go back to work yet. I set up this fundraiser if anyone would like to help. Please only give if you can spare it--your presence in my life is already a gift! gofund.me/abd68fdf6

Friends, this wonderful human is going through a lot of the same things I have in the last few years, but with not enough resources. If you’re able, could you drop her a few dollars? Even $5 or $10 makes a difference. I would be so grateful.
