from olalla to the city lights

I have not blogged because I had nothing interesting to report - I spent the last couple of days working in an attempt to start really getting caught up on everything I've missed. I got some good stuff done today, and then promptly felt overwhelmed because I realized that it was still just the tip of the iceberg of what I need to get done. But at least I *did* get something done, so I'll take it.

Anyway, as I said, there is little to report from the last couple of days. [Censored] and I have been subsisting on various Mexican-adjacent foods - I made taco salads on Sunday night, which turned into making extra taco meat on Tuesday night to use up the other fillings, and then I thawed out some chicken taco meat that I'd prepped last month so that we could continue eating without me needing to cook. Last night was also watched the latest Mike Birbiglia comedy special, which was pretty great until we realized it was mostly about his dad having a stroke, which was really not the direction that either of us wanted our entertainment to go in. So we palate cleansed with some Stargate, and I went to bed a little sad.

Today, as I said, was somewhat productive, although it tapered off at the end. But I spent some quality time this evening journaling + brainstorming some writing stuff, so I'll take it. And now I need to sleep so that I can be in it to win it in the morning - goodnight!
