Hey y’all,

This blog was started 18 yrs ago- whoa! Thanks for reading, subscribing, and sharing my writing! Follow me on IG and Bluesky: knightleyemma.

Sorry for the longish absence, I’ve been dealing w/ a V big workload. My team continues to be understaffed/overworked; these last 4 mos. were esp. tough. After the recent (JAN) storm, where we got a crazy amount of snow, I was stuck inside for 5 days (TOO long)! The snow soon hardened into ice (V dangerous); it hasn’t all melted yet!

This is a V dark/heavy time for ppl (esp. we who are POC) here in the U.S.- even though we are expected to “act normal” and go about our daily biz. I’m trying to spend less, eat better (incl. limiting DoorDash deliveries), and go to Orangetheory (3x) ea. wk. I missed 2 wks b/c of bad weather and (tight) deadlines recently. Sometimes, we have to pause to let ourselves feel sad, angry, or whatever else.

I joined the DC Movie Club; this social group holds many events, incl. at Alamo Drafthouse (Bryant St). I was a BIT late for the happy hour (HH) when I went, BUT I saw Park Chan-wook’s latest film- No Other Choice. IF you go on a TUES, you’ll save on tix. If you’re in the area, check it out!
