Who doesn't love Christmas?? Well, me actually, I'm a giant Grinch. But it's Christmas in July week or whatever and my next middle grade horror book, CARNIVOROUS CONIFERS, set around Christmastime, comes out tomorrow! The 2nd in my Stein's Monsters series, but is standalone. For fans of Goosebumps!

I'm really good at letting emails sit in my inbox until I "have the time" to handle them, then taking all of 30 seconds to reply when I finally get around to it

Every year I stay up past midnight to see my birthday in, listen to music I used to love and become a total head case for an hour or so before finally going to bed haha. Totally normal things I'm sure, no concerns about getting old or anything, obv

For the past 4 years I've promised myself I would prioritize my own writing and write more than the year before. Somehow I've written less each new year, with this year by far the worst. It's almost impressive in a way

Built a compost bin over the weekend and immediately found enough materials to fill it completely, which was kinda satisfying. Domestic yard and garden stuff is my life right now I guess and it's not bad?

Wednesday nights this month are filled with 3 hours of climbing (bouldering) league followed by an hour of hockey that gets me home around midnight, and while it's a blast, these Thursdays man, ugh 😴

Spent the afternoon organizing all the native perennial seeds my wife and I collected from our rain garden. Hopefully we can expand the garden with these. Nature!

The last watermelon harvested from our garden was a monster, and perhaps the best tasting watermelon I've ever had. Kinda sad we have to wait until next year to grow more.

Took my son to his first professional hockey game last night (a local AHL team) and it brings me such joy to watch him experience new things. We had a blast, and the takeaway might be just how absurd hot dog cannons are. In his words: "This is getting *too* crazy!" haha

It's really disgusting that the recovering skin around the burn on my arm looks like the edges of a roasted marshmallow.

Re-potted our little pawpaws to better accommodate their taproots, planted some black walnut seeds for a tree-growing experiment, and then tomorrow I'm off to my favorite native plant nursery for some more native trees/shrubs/perennials. All of these things are better than everything else, currently
