This is my wife’s fauxito.
Just taking a quick look, it seems that I sent about 16 personal emails this year. I have a feeling that probably much , much higher than average.
Took a picture of some of the flowers outside a friend’s home.
Finished reading: The Assassins of Thasalon: A Penric & Desdemona Novella in the World of the Five Gods by Lois McMaster Bujold 📚 I enjoyed this book in that it had various twists and turns and yet still felt cut and dry.

I loaned out my laptop to a friend a couple weeks ago and I kind of miss it being part of my writing workflow. Honestly, he’s going to do more with it than what I was doing. He’s stuck in the hospital and I’m stuck running errands without a second to think.
I sometimes think about how our infrastructure slowly corrodes.

Some times, I got the feeling that the plot was put together with the same nonchalant attitude. Not a super great movie. Overall, I liked the movie. I wanted to like it more. I was ready to see someone get in there and be a hero, but I left the movie with a feeling of indifference. Why? I think it might be that this movie isn’t much different from other superhero movies that I’ve…

Finished reading: The Perfect Divorce by Jeneva Rose 📚 I don’t like most of the characters in the book. I’m reading in order to see if and when they get what’s coming to them. Sometimes, I yell at them to think. For some reason, they can’t hear me.
I’m reminded that I like the feeling of having a plan and seeing it change versus no plan at all and seeing the chaos take over.
She is not here to clean up. I love a good beat 'em up movie. Seeing the protagonist face off against dozens of indistinguist minions as they make their way to their objective. I feel that this movie does a great job of establishing the story and characters and then getting out of the way to let the action happen. I was hooked on this movie from the moment I saw the trailer. I was so excited that…
I feel that when people say “the only thing stopping you is you”, it doesn’t give you credit or blame for the fact you’ve been using your power to destroy your own dreams and aspirations. Good job me! I’m dealing with the stuff you haven’t dealt with. Somewhat joking. 🙃
Went to a rose garden today.
I thought it would be nice to take the scenery in for a bit.
'Whip Appeal' by Babyface Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. My dad would play this album on a regular basis. Babyface had a whole lot of great songs that you can just put on and just chill. Again, I had no idea what this song was about but every time it would play, I got to go play outside.
