Extremely impressed with @jakemarsing.bsky.social and his virtual town hall yesterday. Well spoken, well educated, great plans for Longmont. He has my vote! Get on those ballots everyone!

DM’d a D&D session for a group of 7th graders. They’re hilarious and wildly creative. Definitely keeps you on your toes.

My oldest child marching in the Boulder County Fair Parade with their new friends from the Northern Arapaho Tribe and Chino, Japan. Last night, we had the Arapaho to our house and the kids danced for hours on our porch together, while FaceTiming the Japanese kids. This is how peace is made.

When you get a new glasses prescription, and you think, “shit, have I been blind for the last five years?”

This much sorrow and rage is exhausting. It’s wearing me down.

My bobtail cat, Kiki, went tearing across the table, taking everything off with her, launched herself into a perfect fuzzy cannonball, and slammed into the dining room window, scaring the shit out of all the squirrels and birds at the feeder. Then she cannon-balled back the other way.

Fixed air conditioning and it was only $250. Now to fixing the wet carpet in my flooded basement (broken drain pipe, thankfully another (relatively) cheap fix)

When you you want to take your kids to a castle in Okinawa, finally get there, and find out that the castle FELL DOWN, but they put this building over it with this painting on it.

“This castle you would have been seeing today…”

It was unexpected.

My husband is Japanese and from Tokyo; we are currently in Japan. People keep speaking to him in simple English with over dramatic hand gestures, trying to show him where to put things. But yet they speak to my teen with dyed hair in Japanese. It is absolutely hilarious.

“I want milk tea and toast.”
“Milk tea isn’t included in this set. Only hot tea.”
“Hot tea please.”
“Do you want milk in your tea?”

Ah, Japan.
