Note for the unwary: first thing to do with a set of Japanese watercolors in loose pans, if you cannot read Japanese, is to label the back of each pan in English.

Not a complaint but a legit query. Why do I not need a biobreak until I’ve applied hand lotion and not realize I’m hungry until I’ve flossed and brushed?

So what do you call a struggle meal when chosen voluntarily? I make a decent living yet prefer beans and rice or ramen with whatever stray food is in the fridge when eating in.

February book is ‘Miracles and Wonder’ by Elaine Pagels. The subject matter interests me, her writing is compelling, and, if that weren’t enough, the Paul Simon ‘Boy in the Bubble’ reference amused me.

This year I aspire to read at least one book each month. I’m off to an inauspicious start. Yesterday I grabbed the apparently most approachable book on my list then got started. Ruth Reichl is a good writer. I enjoyed every moment of The Paris Novel.

I know I am ridiculous, just to get that out of the way. Okay, so, most cats are covered in some quantity of fur of some length. Fur is insulation. So, why are so many cats heat-seeking maniacs?

Okay, so, I have been making a concerted effort to say the fuck-word less frequently. Well, I was unpleasantly surprised and a 'fuck' slipped out sort of under my breath but audible to those near. So, reflexively put hand over my mouth, as if it wasn't too late, said 'sorry' and blushed furiously.

Boston proper will prolly just get cold foggy rain, as usual. Might be worthwhile stocking up any way - if you have the ingredients you can make French toast.

Here we are at the point in the week where we must mediate between the dishwasher and the clothes washer. Each wants all the water and will not hesitate to shut down the other.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 1776

Hey new trend, post about stuff you like. Especially trivial stuff. Me, I like sea glass, a porch swing, liminal spaces (Waffle House at 3am), old china teacups, spicy chai and the ocean at 8 in the morning. And cortados, ripe honeydew melon, used book stores, wind chimes, late autumn & ghosts. You?

I’ve started using my accumulated fountain pens after a years long interlude of multicolor and often sparkly gel pens. The r/fountainpens folk (aka ‘penablers’) have been a bad influence and undermined my don’t buy stupid shit resolution. A Pelikan M805 marked down to $400 US is on its way. Sigh 🤷‍♀️
