Weight lifted...

5 October 2022: With some great advice from Hannah, I managed to work up the courage to say "no" to something work-related that I originally said "yes" to. I sent the email about it last night, but got the (predictable), "I understand/it's okay" email in response today, so I am counting it as content for today's post. I can't say how much better I felt just sending the message--like a huge weight had been lifted. Gotta try to remember this moving forward, esp. for something like this was--essentially not a big deal/reward, but would have felt so onerous.
