The daily affirmation, left for me by a coworker over a decade ago, is fading slowly from the sun and time
But itโ€™ll fall apart before I take it down

I used the same knife to cut a dragonfruit that I used to crush some garlic

I thought I had rinsed it well enough.

Anyway, garlic flavored dragonfruit isnโ€™t as bad as you might think

I dunno, sometimes itโ€™s 30F but in the sun it feels nice and toasty so why not sit in a hammock chair in your patio?

I do this thing where I make #PaperStars when anxious. The bigger the anxiety, the smaller the star.
