Wow. You GUYS. In the madness that is my life right now, working so hard every gottdam day…I completely missed my ninth anniversary of writing this blog.

NINTH. ANNIVERSARY. I’ve been writing a blog every day for NINE YEARS.

It’s kind of wild. It’s a habit I started, and I just never stopped. I do most of these entries on autopilot now, I’m not going to lie. But, they help me enormously, still. They mark the time. They’re a place to just dump my brain before bed. They make use of my iPad.

I remember buying my first iPad — it was an iPad Air, the first one — specifically because I wanted to start writing this blog. It felt so FREAKING stupid. I didn’t need it. I could have figured out some other way to write these entries and post them…but the idea of laying the iPad on my lap in bed at the end of the day and writing an entry, plus posting a cool photo just seemed really really exciting to me. And so I brought it. It was an excuse, which is why I felt so foolish, and I probably couldn’t really afford it at the time…but I’m so glad I did it. Same thing with the DJ controller back heading into quarantine. Oh, the GUILT. It was strong. But, for no reason. It was worth it.

And here I am, nine years later, plus a few days.

My book manuscript came back from the editor. Need to approve the changes. Need to put in all my fixes. And then…it’s done. Thank god.

Also…still sick.

Night night.
