I just had the dumbest first-world screw-up ever. I accidentally returned my @stitchfix order to @ThredUp in a Clean. Too many mylar envelopes with prepaid labels in this house!

Yesterday, I returned to my easel. I've spent years telling myself I had to pick ONE THING to get really great at it. Now, I'm giving up being great at anything in favor of being joyfully mediocre at a bunch of stuff.
