I've written 60k words this summer. Today I forgot how to spell Wednesday.

I have become way too invested in avian real estate in my backyard and my views towards house sparrows is becoming increasingly problematic.

I am sitting outside watching this mockingbird wreak havoc on just about every other bird in the neighborhood. It leaves the little birds alone but has no problem starting fights with everyone else. I respect that.

At my kid's band concert last night, two boys played Black Sabbath during the intermission. It was like watching the real life version of "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton."

She just wanted him to be happy. This is not how she imagined that going. #questpit #Q #A #U
Old man with young woman. A Lesson in Pain Management.  Willow has never said no to anyone in her life. So when her grandfather needs help running a nursing home drug ring, she says yes. Falling for the strait-laced administrator was a mistake. The felony charges might be worse.

Chronic people-pleaser Willow would do anything to reconnect with Pop. He knows an easy mark when he sees one. What starts as sneaking contraband into his nursing home escalates quickly and this time she won’t be able to smile her way out of a felony charge. #questpit #Q #A #U

Gandalf and Sauroman walking and talking with Sauroman saying,"Elves and Men started this war, we will sit down with Sauron and discuss which rare earth metal reserves and pieces of the Shire he would like in return for peace.

I don't understand how you can take rights away from people and still feel like you're headed in the right direction. Makes me so angry.

Things are scary and most times it takes a great deal of effort to keep myself from feeling hopeless. But today the snow geese have returned as they do every year and I think there is a kernel of hope that can be found there.

Remember how they used to be all about the constitution and their rights when it came to their precious guns? I guess democracy was just a phase they were going through.

It's so disappointing to watch GenX slide into their boomer era. As an elder millennial, it's also a little frightening.

You know what I hate about myself? I don't care about Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds or Justin Baldoni, but that didn't stop me spending a stupid amount of time reading through all their texts.

It was weird to see Bianca Censori at the Grammys dressed like that because I can’t tell you how many times I have had dreams like that. Like I’m naked and everyone’s dressed and I’m just trying to convince everyone it’s totally normal.

The kid spilled nail polish on her favorite hoodie and was really upset. Fortunately I had just enough embroidery skills to fix the problem.
