Dear Lonnie Musk, I can tell you five things I *didn’t* do this week: - give you up - let you down - run around and desert you - make you cry - say goodbye And a sixth bonus: - tell a lie and hurt you Best, Dz. Nutz

Kris and I watched a documentary on the artist Aldwyth, who assembles huge amazing collages. I never heard of her before and I feel like my brain is on fire.

Not sure if it was my mouse or keyboard or google's unwanted AI angel, but it deleted my poem one letter at a time, quickly. I could get an older version that still had everything but needed to redo some editing.

This baby is staying in our boiler until the snow melts. Glad he is finally using this bed! (PS his fur is always a mess by the end of winter but the mess is happening early this year)

We played Civ 7 for a couple hours last night and I think the new system will be okay. I am glad it is different because I kind of felt like I was doing the same thing every time I played a game of Civ 6.

Student in my class who is from Boston and likes to try to NJ/Philly vs Boston with me all the time: People are just so...ignorant here! My teacher, who was not part of the conversation, laughing: Hey SCREW YOU, BUDDY!

I don't know which of the 100 things I did this weekend helped my back feel better but I haven't had sciatica all day. I also did some run/walking yesterday, which usually makes it worse.

Kris and I went on separate walkruns today at the park and I liked walking and talking together but when we do this separately, it is great for mind wandering thinking. I realized I rarely get to that mind state now.

Kris and I have been married 14 years. This is one of the ways I have been most lucky.

A patient at work had a Le Voyage Dans La Lune t shirt on and we both lamented how there aren't many silent movies screenings around here. He also said he saw a chorale-backed showing of Joan of Arc, which sounded terrifying.

In my dream I went to a poetry event called Strawberry CheeseKiss and a famous poet was mad that more people went to SCK instead of his event.

We are getting a costco membership today and I am going to have to make some special black out/pinhole glasses to wear otherwise I am going to get overstimulated in 5 seconds and bite someone like I am a cat.

OR Loretta can use the heated cat house we got for him. OR stay warm somewhere else. I just can't have him outside in single digit temperatures, trying to curl up on snow

We let Loretta back outside now that it isn't super cold anymore. I hope he still trusts us if we have to trick him into the basement again next time it is very cold.
