Who?

My daughter has an imaginary friend named “Fighter.” (He’s the pilot for all her favorite cars and Legos and so on.)

Fighter has a sister named “I Forgot.” Yes, that is her actual name. I checked.

Maybe she plays baseball?

Unbuff

Lately I’ve had a hard time writing anything other than awful, angsty poetry (don’t ask). It’s like going through high school all over again, except now with kids and debt.

It’s also really eating into the buffer I built up from taking nine days to post a 1,200- word short story I’d already written. I wonder if there’s anything else salvageable on my DeviantArt account…

Take Care of Yourself

Because you are precious, and should be taken care of.

(me, complimenting my 7 year old on her Legos): You’re a great engineer.

(her): I’m not an engineer yet.

(a few seconds pass while it dawns on me that she is referring to her future career)

(me): Well, maybe not a professional engineer, but you’re very good at building things. I think I’m going to call you an engineer anyway.

(a few more seconds pass as she mulls this over)

(her): What about Angel?

(me): I’ll call you both.

(her, in obvious satisfaction): Okay.

She just comes up with these off the dome, you guys. No instructions!

Happy Pride Month!

It feels SO nice to have colorful nails again! It’s been way too long.

I wanted to do the polyamory flag colors, but I’d forgotten just how expensive this stuff is. Maybe I’ll have enough saved up by next year…

Talking Into the Abyss

The abyss’ gaze is unnerving, I admit

But it is a very good listener
