The downside to living someplace where it doesn't rain often is that many people don't go out in it. Including DoorDash delivery people. Can't blame them since most are using scooters and e-bikes in the city and that just sounds miserable in the rain. But I'd still like someone to bring me a taco.

We're having weather again. It's just after midnight and when cars pass by I can hear that the streets are wet. We're supposed to have rain for the next couple of days. I'm looking forward to it. Good sleeping and reading weather, as my Mom used to say.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Wore the cassette out popping it back in every time I turned the car on. 40 years later, it's still on the top of my play list.

It's been a crazy busy week with work stuff and writing stuff and needing to spend hours hiding in video games to escape from all the crap going on in the world at the moment but every so often I remember we won the freaking Super Bowl!

Where the mountains meet the sea. This was my daily view until we moved back into San Francisco almost two years ago. So grateful for where we are now and equally as much to have lived 10 amazing years on the coast.

Batch of query letters went out last week. Two quick rejections for fit. Now, of course, I'm questioning everything I've ever known about writing, books, the book business, etc. I may have forgotten how to read. Maybe I'm just using voice to text for this. I might not know how to spell.

Told someone at work today that I was going to take Mar 2-3 off.

Them: That's the new product launch
Me: Yeah, I won't but I'm bummed
T: Can you change your plans
M: No. It's um, *mumbling* the new WoW expac release
T: A video game launch? How old are you again?
M: 59. But it's a tradition!
T: 😐

Copy edits done. An obscene amount of duplicate phrases have been deleted. All in all, I lost 3k words which I worried about for a minute but then said "eh" and sent it off for proofreading. I am itching to start something new but just got beta feedback on another so that's first.

I sort of can't believe how emotional I am over this Super Bowl win but I almost can't even talk about it. I never lost hope, always thought there was potential, but it's been a while since it felt possible. Now, I think we're back.
