I lock myself in the room. It was a small, austere white box with a bed. Good enough for a night.
I awoke somewhere similar, but different. The angles were wrong. The clock read 25:73, and I was staring down at the bed.
A dark void stared up at me and screamed.

Today would have been your birthday. If you were here, we'd go to Denny's so you could get your free grandslam.
And then we would probably go back to your place and groom some poodles!
Miss you.

Well, finally got a job interview.
Didn't get the job. I'm getting a little disheartened and a tad worried.

She may have a cute face, but that sweet kitten is the reason I had to protect my pulled pork by taping the lid on the crockpot.
She will try to eat anything she can get to!

I still find myself struggling with writer's block. It feels much like wrestling an octopus covered in oil.
It has a good grip on me and won't let go, but I cannot get a firm grip on it so that I can get away.

I had dinner with most of the team from my old job. It was great being able to hang out, chill, and BS with them again.
The only thing I miss is seeing those incredible people 5 times a week.
Plus side, I've not had a major tension headache in a week. Coincidence? I think not.

So, I was thinking of doing some co-writing sessions on TikTok Live... I figure some people who are stepping away from that one organization that has disappointed so many might still need some encouragement.
And of course, happy to interact while on Live!
