I didn’t realize how much of my morning revolved around Julius. It’s so weird to eat breakfast without a cat trying to rub his face against mine between bites.

Having aging pets is heartbreak, expense, and yet the years that precede illness are so worth it.

I have 1 extra ticket to see Sunday’s 1pm Chicago Stars match in Evanston. Happy to give it away free so it doesn’t go to waste.

I love living in a neighborhood where a mariachi band occasionally plays backyard parties. But I wish the parties started and ended before 11pm.

I finally saw the Matisse exhibit at AIC. There was a small girl with her father and she kept asking him to photograph an occasional drawing. Because she wanted to try to copy it at home.

I put it off for way too long, but I finally got the Shingrix vaccine. It was less painful than any of my Covid boosters. So if you’re worried about how painful it is, don’t be.

I am helping put together a panel of queer speakers for a work event. Do you happen to know a queer speaker from Ireland or India you’d recommend? Born in the US, but able to speak about their experience in the country would be fine, too.

My therapist got an amazing dream job opportunity. I’m thrilled for them. But now I need a new therapist who does EMDR, has good ethics, speaks Internet, and is taking new patients. And ideally takes my insurance. Tall order. I know. But your girl just wants to fucking heal.

A Minneapolis yarn store is selling a protest-hat pattern worn in Germany to protest the Nazis (who learned all their tricks from American slavers). Proceeds go to support the rebellion. www.ravelry.com/deliveries/8...?

I’d knit an entire skein of yarn in a fairly complicated multi-cable pattern and I just ripped it all out. My gauge was off. I’d made too many mistakes. And I think I’ll be half a skein short.

34 years ago, I sat at a table in a campus building at OSU and helped appliqué fabric letters onto a quilt square. The letters spelled out the name of someone who died from AIDS the year before. I had thought we made it through the period of fear and hatred. I was wrong.

Hoan Hyunh came up to Andrew and I on Saturday while we stood in uptown with signs pressing ICE to ask if we were okay after being flipped off by a jerk driving by. Today ICE tried to bust out his car window with a gun.

While in the front yard last night before it rained, I saw a few bats zipping through the air. Does anyone in Chicago have advice on putting a bat house in your yard?

30-40 minutes after using my allergy eye drops, I get a horrid metallic taste. It’s awful and it ruins the taste of my tea. But I’m not bleary and itchy.

I keep thinking about last week’s Nick Cave concert. I had known he’d play “Cinnamon Horses”. But chuckled at my friends when he introduced the song. It’s so beautiful, even if it’s about masking grief. www.nickcave.com/lyric/cinnam...

If you’re ever stuck in an elevator, just call 911. Then tell press the call button to tell the elevator company they need a technician. Because they won’t call 911 unless someone is dying.
