Pretty Good Hat

Ever find yourself just really, really looking forward to making tacos tonight?

I probably shouldn’t have skipped lunch?

Just out for a walk yesterday. I love love the effect of stormy sky with evening sunlight on the foreground.

It was only days ago that a spider made a home in my briefcase, and today there was a snake in the hallway.

I finished listing to Borne. I liked it. It definitely draws thematic lines right from Vandermeer’s Southern Reach but reads a little more whole as a story? I think.

Also I love this little touch in the app when it’s finished. Off to check out another audiobook!

My son, staring intently at me:

“Dad, I think I see one gray hair right there by your ear.”

Me: “Oh! Well that’s nice of you to point that out.”

Son: “Never mind, there’s a whole bunch.”

Eight-year-old wisdom is UP FRONT, gang.

Today in Brief Moments of Lizard Brain Terror: reaching into the briefcase pocket where I keep my wallet and ID, just like I do everyday, to find it utterly entombed in spider webs and also occupied by a reasonably large and angry (but harmless) wolf spider.

Picked up Borne in audiobook from my library, using Libby. It’s an intriguing read/listen so far, and I continue to be really happy with how well done Libby is.

It’s three o’clock and I’m working from home today, so that means… Espresso time!
