What’s the coolest thing I’ve ever found (and kept)?
The love of my life, Elizabeth Ho. Hands down. Also: my kitties. Snacks, Nugget, Chloe, Bruce, Bingo and Silky. They kind of found me, and I can’t really say that I kept them, since they live their own lives…but we found each other, and they are mine. I got them fixed. I give them their two square meals each day, and I think I might be the only human on the planet they trust enough to let pet them.
I think this question might have meant things, like found a gold coin at the beach or something. I can’t recall ever stumbling upon treasure. I did find a $20 on the sidewalk coming home from school one day. THAT was very exciting. And hunting for agates up at Agate Beach in Trinidad was always cool, found several beautiful of those…
But really, I found love. And I found my kitties. That’s what comes to mind tonight when I think about what I’ve been lucky enough to find.

A better writing day! Not quite as good as Monday, but I got some actual shit done today. Tomorrow’s going to be a banger, I can feel it. I’m going to be ready to start doing the actual scene-by-scene detailed outline. That will feel very good. Tangible progress will be made towards the book being ready to write, and SO MUCH EARLIER than usual. I’m so freaking excited about that.
Not much else happened today. I got some business stuff done that I’d been putting off, that was a big win. Netflix work wasn’t super busy, but I got done what I needed to.
It was a solid day today. Middle of the road. I can hang with that.
Oh! Liz made chicken pot pie soup and hollllyyyyy shit it’s so good. Had that for dinner. Watched some more of Yellowjackets, and you guys…what are we missing. The show is mid, at best. We’re halfway through the first goddamn season and nnnnoooottthhiiinngggg has really happened. Stakes should be sky high, but they feel super duper low. Dialogue is rough. Characters are super broad. The central mystery is fun, it has potential, but it feels like we’re not doing anything with it. We’re disappointed. We’ll stick with it a little longer, I guess, but it better get good soon…and I don’t have high hopes in that regard because the way a series does anything is how it does everything, you know? I already know what the show is, it’s shown me.
Joy just dove underneath the top blanket, rolled and dug around under there like a maniac, and is now curled up and asleep, breathing hard. lol. She’s such a psycho. Love her.
Night night.
