A poem for a rainy day in Florida. Cold rain in rainspouts; warm cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting; pu-ehr tea like delicate mulch; the end of my nose and the tips of my toes; a song with tri pa let tri pa let tri pa lets; fake wood flooring underfoot.

Adventures du jour! Got triggered hard yesterday; still a bit freaked out. WOW is it hard to be rational in moments like that. Riding it out via music, burning a candle, tea that is strong and hot, clipped fingersnails (typo but Imma leave it) so I won’t tear them all off, adding new ink in

Adventures du jour! Talked with a friend this morning about the Happiness Lab podcast, which has the following definition of fun: 1. play, 2. connection (with a person, cat, nature–or an AI ), 3. flow, or a state where you don’t notice time passing. I choose to have a fair amount of fun. If I

Adventures du jour! A gray day in Tampa. My brain is sludge. Yesterday while writing I got bogged down in a scene, hit a spot that shouldn’t have been that difficult, and lost all will to live, as it were. I went to bed early and finally slept pretty hard after a number of days

Adventures du jour! Me: I need a day to slack off and take it slow. Also me: [Dances to EDM.] Someone mentioned cologne and I got jealous so I put some on: Hades/Immortal Perfumes. I might have to get more of this one. It smells like someone said, “You need to be spoiled rotten” and

Adventures du jour! Today was attitude problem day, by which I don’t mean that my attitude was a problem to me personally. You know when someone says, “You better fix that attitude of yours?” and you look deep inside yourself and go, “Make me”? That type of day. Yesterday was good, but I didn’t get

Adventures du jour! Tropical Storm Nicole is a bit of a fizzle, but WOW am I loving sitting here all day by the patio with the door open, listening to the wind and the rain. The air is fresh and cool.–You are welcome to laugh at me next summer while I’m complaining about the heat.
