Today my sister Alexis would have been 42, which is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Today I'm going to eat tacos for every meal and do puzzles and watch TV which I'm pretty sure would be a perfect birthday for her.

Working today on a scene where a character is trying to teach students about asteroids and meteoroids only to get a sudden text wishing me a Happy Meteoroid and Asteroid Day

I looked it up. IT'S REAL. We love worlds colliding (but not asteroids colliding!)

We grew up on different sides of the country, both thinking the Addams Family theme song was a days of the week song co-opted by a TV show and not the other way around, whoops.

Turned in my edits on time so here's my little treat: reading a book that's not mine for the first time in TOO long.

Once I met an old woman and she gave me all of her dresses and then disappeared (I still don't know where she went) but I got to dress as a West Egg princess because of her. Thanks, Shirley, wherever you went.

Found some texts from March 2023 on the day that I figured out how my untitled novel (Now titled HOW TO LOVE YOU WHEN YOU'RE GONE and debuting next year with LBYR) was going to end.

Thank God for words.
