full on wept all through Brandi’s intro of Joni Mitchell and Joni’s performance, both of which felt specifically formulated to make me, a poetic queer woman who loves folk music, cry

my best sleep aids: a new weighted blanket (Bearaby is worth it), the Slumber app, and the right dosage of the right SSRI. sleep well in 2024!

as you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of spreadsheets as a way to organize and process things in my life - so in 2018, I maintained a color-coded spreadsheet of where I slept each night of the year. here's a thread of some fun pie graphs illustrating that data!

some favorite sleeps:
-excellent AirBnBs in Portland and Kennebunk (one in July, one in February)
-the van on Maui where we woke up to the sun over the mountains and the local chickens
-camping on the slopes of Greylock
-the cozy home we’ve settled into this winter

I slept a lot of places this year! (as usual.) after the aforementioned accidental move to CT, halfway through this year I returned to being a year round MA girlie (even better, a year round Western Mass girlie!) a trip to Hawaii and a road-trip in January stacked the deck.

finally scored Delaware somewhere in upstate New York. back in Massachusetts with 9 states to go (but we have a couple days before we actually make it home)

this year’s Great Winter Road-trip is much less ambitious than the past two (only about 2000 miles over a week and a half), but that doesn’t mean we’ve lowered our license plate game ambitions at all. in fact, we’re taking it as a challenge.

we are also still missing both Dakotas, because we chose to drive the car with MA plates instead of the SD one this trip.

the Netflix Christmas RomCom Cinematic Universe is my Marvel AND my Roman Empire

the internet told me that when the dog yells out the window at nothing I need to calmly say « thank you » so he knows that I know what he is trying to tell me but actually there is no threat. anyway I feel silly and my friends who make fun of me for gentle parenting are right.

I was in Boston for a total of 21 hours this weekend, but in that time I saw a guy bike around a rotary with one hand on the handlebars and the other on his Dunks, so my hometown pride has been refilled for at least the next 6 months

(had a rare Thursday night where I was done work and could have gone to bed at 11, but stayed up to hear the vault tracks. worth it.)

I’m fifteen again.
