Had a dream of her last night. We walked a riverside trail, she looked really able like when we were in our twenties. Then we walked to a mall. Uphill even. At one point I said to her, glad I can still hang out with her, even if it’s a dream.

Fitbit said it was about an hour or more REM sleep.

Revolving restaurant is closed today or I’d go for the occasion.

Roads are bobsled tracks where the car slops from side to side.

Maybe I’ll just stay here with you. It’s something I’m good at and for.

I’m still putting the seat down.

Ending 2025 by listening to some Canadian tunes.

I hope 2026 brings us all joy, comfort, and peace.

Thanks for being awesome, Bluesky fam!

Went to the Thai place we liked. Still like. Listened to other people’s drama the next table over.

I don’t miss the drama.

Not sure why I do this.

A friend of hers (J) likes Lego and flowers so I gave her a bought but never completed Lego Orchid thing. She finished it today. Glad it found a home.

So much stuff here bought on a whim and forgotten the moment it made it in the door.

I should have done it with H.

Just sat in the living room and tried to watch TV. Meh. Sat with a music channel and let the birds out for a bit to get some wing time.

Cements my notion I would like a variety of different spaces in a living area. Like one of those apartments that have three side views.

Just had your second last bag of popcorn.

Remembered how you didn’t like to share it even though you’d maybe eat a third.

But I knew how rough it must have been in that house you grew up in.

Still might not ever eat that other bag.

People say music “saved them.”
No.
It just reminds you that you’re still here long enough to do the saving yourself.

Three recipe websites later I ended up back at ChatGPT.

Didn’t even suggest rat poison in crepe batter.

I used to play that sudoku puzzle on my phone after we watched some animal rescue videos.

Survivor benefits isn’t how I planned to get a pension.

You liked watching the snow blow across the road.

Glad you taught me how to do a steak in a cast iron pan.

I found this weird little unicorn hat of yours and held it for awhile.
