It’s finally just warm enough that I can sit outside at 11:30pm and listen to the rain with just a light jacket on. It’s so nice. The frogs are loud!!

Me, high, trying to explain music: I have to unmask. I have to be vulnerable and I have to see people. And it’s like I haven’t managed to do that until the last show. A fucking Bon Jovi song. But for that time I was a microcosm of my own, a world that was the size of the stage. It was just us.

Eating an edible, drinking mead, and sitting down to chill and life my best life with my husband and cats.

Been quiet out here but everything has been on fire for several months. If I can survive the next few weeks everything will be okay. But they’re going to be an exhausting few weeks.

kill the part of you that calls your art "content" kill the part of you that sees creating for fun as "unproductive" kill the part of you that craves "number go up" kill the part of you that thinks you're not a "real creator" kill the part of you that sees praise as "forced"

Third handover of my life is so far awful. First hangover of my 40s. I don’t like it. I just keep hoping the cats lay on me so I don’t have to move.

Is it a mistake to drunk text my former boss because it’s too late I did it

Time to go to a party and hope the lady that alternates between hating me and whispering “I love you” into my ear while drunk is not there.

So as far as I can work out, Ozzy is deaf or mostly deaf. The Roomba comes right up and hits him before he notices. He doesn’t hear me shaking a food bowl or telling him to stop beating up a chair. I played videos of cats making noises. No reaction. (Fiona on the other hand lost her shit).

IDK who needs to hear this right now but Perfectionism™ is the enemy of Done™. Just finish that thing at your current skill level and make a better one later… Ppl get more praise for putting mid things into the world than for holding back chipping away at Perfection™ and dying before finishing.

Sent my husband and stepson to get dinner. Daughter in law is doing a literal exam for school. The grandson dog is asleep. Time to write about Frank seeing the bunker, friends. This is the perfect quiet moment for writing. 🤣 Sitting on my stepson’s couch writing.

On the bright side *today was a beautiful day* and I love this new neighborhood. It’s so quiet and chill here.

At a certain point you really do need to stuff the negative voice in your head into a locker because it's like...actively rude to the people who believe in you. I say this as someone with high confidence yet low self-esteem, you can't let the low self-esteem side of you win. It's never logical.

So. I am pretty certain my mother in law is dying from the Covid infection she has. I’m just torn because I don’t have any love for her and her anti-vax shit. But I still have to figure out how to deal with the situation. Who loses 2 parents in 6 weeks? My husband, apparently. :(

I just spent several hours with a lady that acted like she hated me for the last 6 months whispering “I love you” into my ear and I don’t know what timeline I’m in now. Everything is on fire except this one lady whispering in my ear after treating me like shit. What is happening 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve had awful writer’s block in the lead up to my father in law’s passing. I’m hoping to get back to it this weekend. ❤️
