Waiting for the package
Oh, hi friends!
Yesterday I was afraid to leave the house.
Because…a package was supposed to arrive by 10pm.
This is a silly reason, but I really couldn’t miss it.
So I fluttered around the house working and doing chores.
One ear was always waiting for the buzzer.
Finally, it was 10:30pm.
Despite the package being “out for delivery,” I gave up.
But oh ho, what a fun lesson!
You can’t sit around waiting for the package to arrive.
You can’t sit around waiting for anything, actually.
Because the thing is going to arrive whenever it wants.
And you can either choose to spend that time waiting, or getting busy doing something else.
(Btw, it’s going to be delivered by 10pm today. Allegedly. We’ll see.)
Try not to wait today.
"And making this incarnation of Mr. Saturday Night has taught Crystal that there is still so much more he wants to make, if he can just pace himself.
As he explained, in a voice that was familiar for both its shticky-ness and its sincerity, 'I have too much to do and I’m in no rush. When you rush, you make mistakes. That’s the old excuse: ‘How’d you fall?’ ‘I was rushing when I shouldn’t have rushed. I didn’t read the thing. I tripped and I fell.’ So, I’m just going to take it as it comes.'"

Apple Finally Heard My Cries
For many moons, I've wanted to be able to mark text messages as “unread.” Why?
Because when a message is bold and “unread,” you (meaning me) is more likely to respond.
Because you might see an important text while you’re standing in a checkout line, start typing a response, realize it’s time to scan your mango and almond milk, and never get back to it.
Because it simply MAKES SENSE.
I love when things make sense. With the new iOS update, Apple is allowing you to mark threads and individual messages as unread, so you can respond later.
OK, just had to share the good news. Have a great day!
