Ironically, the song playing as I'm reading this is Lady Gaga's I'll Never Love Again. Fitting for this story.

Re-read of a Sumerian story. Words still hit hard thousands of years later.

January 2026 New Releases on my TBR.

I'm enjoying everything I'm reading so far in 2026.

SPOILER: If you look at the fine print closer, you may spot some Easter eggs on what I'm currently writing.

I'm going to need another country to do this to the false administration. Save the world.
Mike Johnson: "This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change in behavior by a regime ... we have a way of persuasion because their oil exports have been seized. That will bring the country to a new governance in very short order. We don't expect troops on the ground."

Sometimes I think the main reason I've always had a cat: I can eat the skin and they can eat the meat. Matthew ate the majority of the chicken in the box. He'd take a break, then come back when he realized I was starting the next wing. I think he would have eaten the whole box of chicken last night.

So are they confessing they're murderers & rapists?

Psychics, tarot readers, etc are saying by mid-2026, we will discover they've been unaliving the people they're kidnapping.

Walking into the office in 2026, I didn't care what mess I had to clean up after being gone for 2 weeks. Yes, there were messes. I saw one email after another. I shrugged my shoulders and chose to be happy rather than annoyed & anxiety driven. It's amazing how the universe made the messes go away.

I'm surprising Matthew tonight with his favorite. Korean Fried Chicken.

When I first adopted him, he never ate human food.

The only time he ever ate human food was when I brought home Korean Fried Chicken (or donuts). He stole an entire drumstick (or two) & devoured it.

Wait. People are selling their metrocards for $10,000?

Ooh. I have one!

My two week staycation (never leave the apartment & just fucking rest) is over.

My calendar is filling up.

All the while, I'm trying to transition to a new life. There's so much to do, but as the anxiety builds, I stop & say to myself, "One step at a time. I can do this."

Part 2 of @datlow.bsky.social's BH #17 Recommendations. H-Z.

So cool seeing so many of the authors that both Matthew & I have met this past year on these two lists. I was doing a quiet cheer for every one of them.

Part 1 is below Part 2.

Every time I write, especially with a pen, I think I'm safe.

He's asleep in the next room. I start writing down my to do list in my planner... look who shows up. I only got to write down a couple of things. This happens every single time.

He does this while I'm working on the novel, too.

This is the inspiration I needed today 💚

I just made lunch. We're waiting for it to cool off. I made a vegan lunch & Crab Rangoon dip as an afternoon snack. He knows I made something good because I gave him a bowl of crabmeat. He's taking a nap on my lap until I say it's time to eat.

Spoiled. This one.

So Matt has met both my Maine Coon and my brother. That is wild.

Finishing up the last few pages of book 3. Matt Dinniman told me he'd met Matthew 🐈‍⬛. For the life of me, I couldn't remember Matt meeting Matthew. But as I read this, the memory came back. I didn't know who Matt was at the time, but he did try to do some kind of mind meld with Matthew at StokerCon.

I've been trying for a week now to show him there's a tent bed with his new tunnel. He's played in the tunnel for days & bypassed the bed... until today!

Wow. I cleaned out the coat closet/pantry. For once, it's frigging organized & I can reach my coats & access everything.

Inspiration this AM: "You live in survival, not abundance."

I can't tell you how hard those words hit.

More...
