I was going to write a chatty update today about how I'm more or less feeling better, but suddenly it's almost 10pm and I got up at 5:45 this morning in order to take care of the dogs I was watching before going to work to take care of other dogs ( Read more... )

Hello! A quick update to say I'm doing well; I'm still trying to figure out what to put where in my pint-sized room (i need more things with drawers! or shelves!); and my alarm goes off in less than 8 hours.

Real talk okay sometimes I know I come off as really preachy/judgy here (sometimes!? you say), but, you know: it is easy to have strong opinions on the internet. In person, though, I'm actually far less likely to state any opinion, strong or otherwise, especially if doing so seems like it will shut down someone else.

Listen, today was a hard one, news-wise -- I've flown through that very airport outside Istanbul, sat in that very terminal, for literally dozens of hours; this all feels very close -- and I'm just going to go to bed. Sometimes that's okay.

Them: May the Fourth be with you!

Me: And also with you!

Unfortunately, your intrepid blogger has stayed up too late, and cannot now think of any interesting things to share. Or, rather, I had an entry planned and now I'm too tired to properly compose it.

Better luck tomorrow.

hello hello hello, about to get on the train in trinidad, and i won't have wifi until sunday. um. i will have mobile signal, so you can text if you want.

i meant to leave a thoughtful entry about the farm and my feelings, but i prioritized packing and eating food instead.

Ah, friends, I have nothing much to say tonight. The trouble with doing mostly the same thing with my time each day is that it doesn't leave me with anything interesting to report. I went to the library. I wrote some more. I started another Star Wars novel. I didn't even read anything particularly interesting online, unless you count Star Wars meta ( Read more... )
