I don’t have the constitution for a beach day. More specifically, I don’t have the melanin. I burn pretty quickly. I also dislike the feeling of sunscreen. I wear it! Obviously. I’m just saying I don’t enjoy the feeling of it. And I don’t like being cold, which means...

Any book claiming that something complicated in life is actually very simple, you only need to follow these steps, likely, almost certainly—you know what I’ll go out on a limb and just say “certainly”…is bullsh*t. That’s the theme of this podcast that we listened to...

Spam Musubi, y’all. It’s one of the best snacks out there. It can be your entire meal, in fact, if you want it to be. We rode bikes today. Every time I ride an eBike, it really really really makes me want one. And I know I can get one, there are many very affordable...

My friend passed today. She leaves behind three kids that I love with all my heart. Rest in peace, Cat. I love you, I’ll never forget you, and I will show up for your kids.

And my first finished book of the year is…Carl’s Doomsday Scenario. Second book in the series. Very much enjoyed it. Princess Donut, genuinely, is one of the great characters out there. Ever. They make those books sing. And also, the narration—because I’m listening to...

Another oddly hectic day. Sigh. I didn’t get all of my work done, so I’ll have to use my morning writing time tomorrow to catch up. I had a decent session this morning, even if it was only an hour. Anyway…time for bed already. Blech. Wish I could get back into my...
