happy Caturday from Adventure Jack, who has finally taken the great leap onto the tallest bookcase in the living room. Trudy (the ceramic head) wonders how he’ll get down. #cats

don’t forget to have good times with people you love. you don’t have to keep it positive, you don’t have to put on a fake smile. just be there with and for each other. ingest sugar. enjoy the fact that the soulless, small person in charge will never know the joy and satisfaction of true friendship.

touched grass tonight in the form of a dinner out with a couple dear friends. there was good conversation, a smiley waiter, and brandied apple pie a la mode. for this fleeting moment, my mind feels like a slate wiped clean.

if you’re tired of your heart breaking in a bad way and want it to break in a good way instead, I recommend listening to this song:

everything is awful but I walked around outside with my family and got a cupcake, and then I worked on editing my novel and designing a scrapbook of early childhood memories. what small joys did you manage to find this weekend?

unfortunately, yes.

To me, seeing someone announce art or good news during terrible times isn't like trying to sell balloons at a funeral, it's like getting hugged at that funeral. When maybe you didn't know how much you needed that hug. From anyone. Or everyone. Folks need all the soul fuel they can get.

birthday fun vintage shopping at Illicit Rag here in Baltimore! also: banana Oreo, bad TV, a birthday serenade from the teen, and some high-quality goofing off. A+ day, no notes.
