The film Sugarcain is a must-see. It’s about a former school for indigenous children up in Canada, and the horrifying truths that are still coming to light as they investigate its past. And I mean horrifying stuff. It is beautifully done. Absolutely stunning. I...

What is my favorite drink? You know…I don’t know that I’ve ever had one. I have several that I like and will order with regularity, but I don’t know if I actually have a favorite. I’ve always liked blonde ales, heffs, cocktails with citrus fruit in them—love me...

I have a little worry that Coopey can’t see out of his blue eye, the one that’s healing. He just saw the doctor for it today, and they were satisfied that he was on the right path—in fact, he gets to be out of his cone now except for right after he eats, which is when...

Late. Not feeling so hot all the sudden, though it feels like a stomach thing, came on right after eating my dinner. Hoping it’s not what Liz had that took her out of commission for a few days…also hoping its nothing to do with the thing on my back, though that has...

Struggle writing today, but I put in the hours. Nearly. Just shy. But, still proud of myself. It’s hard breaking a cycle, and that’s what I’m trying to do right now: get this outline done the earliest I ever have, and then change up my whole routine entirely. Not...

Doing a quick entry tonight. My phone wasn’t charging through the night, so it wasn’t on by the time morning rolled around, and apparently that means my alarm wasn’t going to go off, even though I had my apple watch on. Weird. Now that I’m sitting here thinking about...

Am I patriotic? What does ‘patriotic’ mean to me? I am. I deeply believe in this country and the values that it stands for. The ideals. And when we fall short of those values and ideals, as we so often do, it’s why I stand up and criticize, or vote, or debate, etc. I...

Liz his home! The household rejoices. Genuinely, Joy and Cooper are sooooo happy. They were super excited when she first came home, and then immediately passed out on top of her afterwards on the couch. They miiiisssed her. I did, too. We exchanged cards for...

Snacks is meowing outside the bedroom right now. We have this sliding glass door there, and he likes to post up on the little landing right outside it and meow for Joy to come outside. It’s late right now, but I’m just shutting everything down after podcasting, and me...

Busy day! Man…it was definitely a day that could have gone sideways with all the stuff I had to do, some of it unexpected work-wise (which is great, actually, because I’ve been slow at work)…but I handled it. Got up on time and handled it. Writing was good. Legit...
