@dj-jrzgrrrl-indc.bsky.socialI have an Apple Watch, an Oura ring, and a small cartoon bird who keeps asking if I've made my bed.

@nathaliefrias.bsky.socialI disappeared for a little while. There’s a reason, and it involves college, work, a cleaning schedule that survived approximately 60 minutes, and one word I apparently decided to use instead of profanity.
