A great day and night. Work was chill and then watched devil wears Prada in bed. Imagine tons of popcorn, ice cream sundaes, candy, and champagne. the plan was to try to sleep early tonight, but changed my mind. Imagine that too. grateful for quiet time, neighbor visits, raspberries, snooze button, online shopping, my mom,…

I’m proud of myself because even though I’m old and tired and have to wake up early for a corporate job, I go out and do fun stuff all the time. Tonight the bestie neighbor treated me to a delicious dinner (still milking the birthday celebrations). Her gold hoop earring fell out of her ear…

I’ve been lost in my world. It feels like my feet haven’t touched the ground in days. Sorry I haven’t returned your calls or texts. I forgot how things work. Does that sound bad or good? It’s been very good. I mean gốôđ. Grateful for my cousin from Texas, joyhogging, heavy cues, all my mayorships,…

A nice hot and sunny day. had lunch with sunhye at the K spot. What a beautiful and talented person. She made me the cutest ceramics. Some people are good at everything. She can do it all—science, art, Tetris, bouldering, cooking, pottery! But Me…well, I can drink espresso from the adorable little mug she handcrafted….

my favorite part of the night. Teeth are brushed and I’m already in bed. There is no goal to sleep early. The night is young until it gets vacuumed up. Today I made a whole bunch of plans. lunch plans, weekend plans, family plans, travel plans, executive plans, plan plans. they don’t scare me anymore….

Cj treated me to dinner tonight at the fave sushi spot. Yoey was there and we had the oyster with the little black fish eggs. I told her she had better get used to eating caviar. the apartment above hers is available to rent. Pros: close to cj, more affordable, large space, nice neighbors, top…

It’s that time of year again when I think about moving/changing apartments. But I know I probably won’t be going anywhere Any time soon—Current place is expensive but worth it.

It’s been eleven months since Eddie’s passing, which means I’ve already made it through all but one of the tough firsts. First Christmas. First therapy party. First birthday. Without him. Next month will be the first anniversary (do people call it deathiversary?). Thinking about it actually makes my heart feel full. I am so lucky…

I have had minimal contact with the outer physical world the past two days. That usually means my apartment’s a mess, my dog feels cooped up, and my dinners are sad. And everything’s fine! grateful for my loud dishwasher, my work team, not drinking, gel nails, ft, work from home, smoked salmon + avocado, Lancôme,…

More birthday love today! My bestie neighbor came over with a strawberry cake candles ablaze. We shared a bottle of prosecco and life updates. I received tight hugs and more beautiful gifts. When it rains it pours. Also, today it felt like eddie was calling me from the heavens. My phone rang and the caller…

Birthday adventure complete. I went on a big group trip to Reno/Lake Tahoe. It was bea’s 50th, and I always just piggyback my birthday celebration on to her’s. She does all the planning and inviting—it’s great. We did a lot of fun stuff like happy hour on a boat, amazing dinners, poolside chillin’, and extreme…

I felt very emotional and thought about eddie a lot today. And this past week. Maybe It’s the time of year—almost one year since his passing; almost my birthday—but this grief business is no joke so there is always more to it. I’ve been feeling things that I didn’t feel before…like the anger stage of…

Today i lived a very adult life. To say “living my best adult life” would sound cliché, but it would be the truth. Gratefully golden.

Ten months since Eddie’s passing. !. Time has been flying. Healing is happening. Today at the cemetery I talked to a very nice man who lost his beautiful 21-year-old son eight years ago. I could tell his grief journey is different than mine even though both of ours are grounded in love. I can’t say…

been having some very nice days. mostly because work has finally slowed down and I was able to log off early enough to enjoy Baseball, beer, hot weather. I did some balance training exercises because my ankles felt too wobbly to ride a skateboard. Balance is like pto…use it or lose it. Today we hopped…
