Today’s “Dad Text” from Ang resonated with me more than usual. These texts are so thoughtful. She was missing her dad and signed up for service to text her daily with messages that a dad would send to her daughter. And then she copies them and sends them to me! (And others too, I think.) […]

I was browsing IG this morning and ran across an article in the Atlantic which immediately made me stop and read. “Why calling loved ones by their name is strangely awkward” OMGosh, YES! Why, Atlantic? I must know. Names are so important. I will make people repeat their names to me three times. I have […]

Today was a satisfying day. I was a little slow and tired. Still fighting a weird not-fever, where my temp just flirts with 100 degrees all day and I can feel the chills in my body and the heaviness of my head. But I popped two Tylenol at 945am and went on my way. S […]

I was a little out of sorts, off-balanced, uneasy. I knew I was stuck but I wanted to power my way through it in another direction assuming that would get me past my thoughts and into another – better – place. It was a good jolt to be asked to think about it from another […]

Describe something you wish you could relive I was scrolling through journal prompts today wanting to take 15m to write. There were so many prompts that were interesting but this one caught my eye. What popped into my mind immediately was the day we cruised with the dolphins. It was a beautiful February day and […]

So I obsessively recorded my year. I did mean to only do a few pictures a month but I wanted to get it all down. Maybe a resolution will be to do a monthly post this year. Hmm… I know I will come back to this next year and in 5 years and reread it […]

Continuation from Jan – June. “A pebble that we picked up last July” A few days after we got back in July it was admission day at SDSU! She was so occupied with checking everything, getting her classes, and it was such a fun day. I met such nice parents and had fun conversations and […]

I’m doing a two-part recap! And then will have my mini-recap and goals… Starting with January “We could leave the Christmas lights up till January” To be fair, I wanted to do one or two pictures per month when I started this post back in March. But… that didn’t work out and now I’m committed. […]

For years, Truck has written everyone very long and (rambling) beautiful birthday notes. It is his “thing” and for years I have told myself to write him notes in return. That’s his love language. He loves writing, he loves being written to. Some years I would. For a long time, I simply had no capacity […]

I read a write-up in the WaPo that Will Ferrell did a documentary with his best friend that sounded fascinating. I really like Will Ferrell and am always interested in supporting the LBGTQ community. Since I don’t tend to watch a lot of TV at home with a short attention span recently, I wanted to […]

My other top highlights on TTPD Part 1 are Guilty as Sin, Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, and the actual named SONG Tortured Poets Department which I feel is overlooked? Let’s start with the only one I made a note of on my first listen which was Little Old Me and I wrote “that […]

My next three ear worms from TTPD are Down Bad, Alchemy, and … But Daddy I Love Him. I’m trying to get to the point where I rank the songs in the album but it’s so hard because it depends on the day, time, month of which songs I’m skipping or repeating! I’m trying to […]
