Not at all indicative of what my time in Jamaica was like, but this abandoned hotel (transitioning to office space) was pretty neat.

I had some heads down time working at a coffee shop this morning. When I came home, Gracie was sleeping on her bed in my office, waiting for me. It has become her favorite day time spot, whereas she used to stay alone on the couch downstairs.

It didn’t feel disgusting outside today for the first time in a long time.

The number of showings makes it clear as day, it’s Barbie’s world, and we’re just living in it. Nice to see a female-forward movie getting all of the time.

I’m at a bar alone. I have one non-fiction and one fiction book with me. Lethal Weapon is on one TV; Happy Gilmore is on the other.

After three nights in the ER, Gracie came home the other day. Her condition is not improving, so we’re moving to a different phase of care here. It seems pretty certain I’ll have very little time left with her. Our hearts are breaking.

No edits, just remarkable colors on a beautiful day.

I mean I’m not going to order this, but I feel like a should, just to support somewhere that would have this.

They don’t really make Barber & Beauty Supply Shop Fixtures & Supplies buildings like they used to. I find myself thinking of how different our economy used to be, and how unsurprising this building ran into trouble in 1929.

Is there a better breakfast than a baguette with poached egg in tomato? Probably not.

For years, I just used my own pots, weights, and Macguyvered contraptions when using the sous vide, but it’s really so much nicer to use tools that are engineered for my specific use.
