​This is the second most meaningful Wordle board after getting DREAM in just one try on Day 4 of The Virginia Film Festival when I was thinking of my temp role at VAFF as the DREAM JOB! 😴 💼 🎥 

RIGID is a word used to describe me by a therapist who now has a hearing scheduled in February 2023, two years and 5 months after I filed the complaint. All I wanted was a public record. I got it! ✔️🏅

I’m still trying to process what it means to finally get something I so desperately wanted: VALIDATION. Acknowledgement by an unbiased Board that what happened to me was either negligent or intentionally harmful (or “causing injury”).

It’s hard to believe that I finally received an email about the progress of my complaint after having the first phase of my exit interview with VAFF, when I connected these two events in my last post, I had no idea that this day would come while I was still working at the Festival.
 
Stay tuned for more about my desire for connections and finding meaning in my work - the writing, the therapy, and the job. 

I LOVE WORDLE! I even am making a bunch of wordle-themed Halloween costumes and Christmas cards.

WELLNESS CHECK
by leah connor

If I don't share my Wordle score
Please send a wellness check to my door
I may be dead or captive

If Garmin shows me inactive
If I suddenly feel attractive
These are signs not to ignore
Please send a welfare check to my door

If I look rich instead of broke
If I see a bear that I can’t poke
If I never laugh at a joke
Please check in on me

If I stop being the squeaky wheel
If I quit obsessing about how I feel
If you think it’s worth the trek
Please check in on me

If my tweets seem jejune
If I text "no worries" or "soon”
If I speak without saying "I'm sorry”
If I'm not bold, anything but chary
If I rant without expletives
If I fail a test for stress
I may be under duress

If I pretend I don't care
Or write a blog but don't overshare
If I don't keep a promise
If I'm not brutally honest
If I can’t imagine the absolute worst
If I grab a Pepsi to quench my thirst
It’s not me

​If I don’t celebrate Christmas before Halloween
If I’m not a Hallmark-y glued to the tv screen

If I don’t lose something of value every day
Or fail to admit I‘m atheist before I pray

If I don’t offer to take the blame
If I don’t live off guilt and shame
It‘s not me

If I miss a chance to self-deprecate
And start showing up an hour late
It’s not me

If I avoid self checkout, trash Apple Pay
If I make the choice to leave today
It’s not me

If I ask for sex, but decline a hug
Cancel the doc who might prescribe a drug
It’s not me

If I love the chimes when there’s a breeze
If I see the forest instead of trees
It’s not me

If I decide to just let it go
If I stop admitting what I don’t know
It’s not me

If I’m ever satisfied without wanting more
If I don’t share my Wordle score
Please check in on me
