When people say “I don’t know the right thing to say” in regards to death/grief/etc: yesterday one of my clients said matter of factly: “well, you’ve been fucken going through it” and I laughed my ass off. That was the exact right thing to say (to me). What a legend ❤️

Watched the auction of the house next door today and Ross told me it was definitely not ok if I interjected with Mortal Kombat commentary like: “FINISH HIM” or “FLAWLESS VICTORY”

Well, that few years of peace after Better Call Saul finished was nice.
The text messages have begun — “Um have you seen Pluribus because that actress is @erinmargrethe.bsky.social .”

Ross and I are watching that show about adopted adults looking for their birth parents and just yelling at the tv “ya dad was a mad rooter”

Hitch’s new frisbee- which he’s had all of 3 days- just ended up with Pennywise thanks to my elite throwing skillz.

Funny thing - as somebody who hates talking on the phone, it turns out talking on the phone is my preferred way of relating bad news (specifically: the unexpected death of a loved one). Been on the blower the last 2 weeks and I fucken hate it even though it feels right.

Our next door neighbours have been feeding us for the last few days. Veggie stir-fry with rice, some kind of veggie pasta, and yesterday a pumpkin lentil soup that is giving me life.

I haven’t watched Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in over 20 years. I forgot Rob Brydon had a bit part and I also forgot about Vinnie Jones “It’s been emotional”

Neighbour’s removalists asked if I could move our car. There was one spot further up between two cars - plenty of space for me. Removalists watched me attempt to parallel park for about 5 minutes before one asked if I’d like him to do it. I practically threw the keys at him. Managed to not kiss him.

Love to have an average resting heart of 82 for the last two weeks. That’s gotta be great for me. Thanks, my crazy family.

Me neighbour walked Hitch today (with his dog) and I had no idea
![Text messages:
Neighbour: Hitch had a lot of fun with his walk this afternoon. Did he need any other this week?
Me: Oh did he go out?? I got home around 4:15/4:30 and he acted like he'd been locked in a cage all day [crying laughing emojis]
Took him for a massive walk!
What a little fucking actor!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eu3uee3i45l6u4xpxuc4zd3a/bafkreibbbipqpkdq2aoq7rclffkqzo4wic2hkkngwivvwdbfj6snb2kvwi@jpeg)

I’m so wrecked about Kaleb Horton. I’ve had so much insanity in my life in the last 10 days that I haven’t been able to even think about him. I’m sitting here reading his Merle Haggard obit and sobbing my stupid face off.

I would just like to know how it feels to not be in fight or flight mode 24/7 due to acute external stressors. Not like climate change or AI or any of the lurking horrors. Just straight up drama involving loved ones.

Fuck. I’m from rural Central Cali. He spoke my language. I subscribed to his newsletters + I wanted so much to meet up/talk about being rural San Joaquin Valley kids. What a fucking loss. Where I lived, the Chowchilla bus kidnapping was huge. His RS article was a work of art.
I met Kaleb Horton in an In-N-Out in 2018 and was immediately infatuated—singularly thoughtful, talented, and kind; a guy who worked his ass off to do things with words I never thought possible. He is among the best writers of our generation; a model America hasn’t made since. Rest in peace.

I love Landline: “Australia is CHURNING OUT the goat meat”.
I’ve always assumed I loved it because I’m a central California farm kid (ask me the current price for nonpariel almonds), but I know so many Melburnians with no ag background who love watching it!

Had a very lovely massage, but was not expecting the 15 minute non-sexual titty rub.
Zero complaints, btw.
