Parenting is a 78 bubble text message exchange at 1 AM when your gen z child has moved away from home but needs instructions on how to mail a handwritten letter to his girlfriend 🥰

Finally opened the mail from the week 🙌 I’ve wanted this on vinyl forever

Just focusing on some little joys of parenting (to help me through the teenage and empty nest years?)

Last night I fell asleep to the sounds of my 14yo playing Nevermind while he was doing the dishes and the pings of incoming messages and photos from my 19yo who is visiting Seoul.

This is good 🥰

A client recently described this cat as a blonde tabby and I’m still smiling about it

Music for getting stuff done

Starting here today. Cowgirl (Bedrock mix) + Things We Lost In The Fire.. and fixing the record player remains less of a priority

Trains Across The Sea makes me burst into tears, every time. DCB was a songwriting genius

Soothing music drifting in from the front room (sick day)

No suffering happening here even though my turntable continues to be out of commission ❤️

I think the issue is that a lot of people really want recorded music to just be in their background and some (most?) music can never be that. Listening with intention is a gift you can give yourself, if only you’re willing to be still and focused (like you hopefully are at a live performance) 🧡

My little family’s third annual autumn apple tasting was a fun and relaxing way to ring in our first dark Monday evening of the season. The Ruby Mac was the big winner, with Envy pulling up second with honorable mention as the best with cheese. Opal, Pink Lady, and Crimson Crisp tied for third 🍂

had to revisit Clube da Esquina in honor of Lô Borges. perhaps the most *all timer* of all timers on my record shelves, an album I could listen to any time, any day, and feel my spirits lifting. RIP 🕯️

At the show tonight in London, in spirit ✨✨

Found a vinyl copy of this (grail) at Cafe Oto last week. A joy to see it and give it a little hug, lol. Alas, my cd will have to do :)
