I SAW PIKACHU!!
So, the local grocery store is in a tiny mall with a handful of other shops, one of which is a comic shop. And today, I walked in the lobby and they were having a whole ass comicon! A tiny … Continue reading
So far, so good.
The last ~36 hours: Eat, eat, sleep, coffee shop, read, read, read with some adult beverages and watch the turtle pond, nap, snack, eat, sleep, coffee shop, watch the turtle pond. My more recent ancestors probably think I’m a lazy … Continue reading

And now, a note for Biden voters
THANK YOU. Especially those in red states – it must have felt futile, but THANK YOU. To every volunteer, organizer, phone banker (sorry I never answered), text banker, lit dropper, and canvasser who got out the vote: THANK YOU. To … Continue reading

It’s not even 9:30
And I am up, snagged Starbucks and been to the market. Go me, who is apparently actually 68 years old. At the market, I saw a little girl with a great purple mask with little stars on it, and I … Continue reading
PPE, but FASHION!
Because I have no impulse control, over the past few months, I’ve acquired quite the collection of masks from Vera Bradley and now I pretty much can match a mask to any t-shirt I own. Granted, most of my t-shirts … Continue reading
