it's a convoluted mess
Hey listen. It’s technically still April. Timestamps tell me I started this draft on March 31st, edited it on April 1st and didn’t touch it again until today. There was about half a paragraph written that didn’t make any sense, so I deleted it. I am disconnected and unfocused and unproductive and unsettled by it all. No–no, more than usual. I don’t recall ever having such a useless stretch of time that didn’t involve bad… Keep reading…The wrong situation…
Earlier today we went out to check the mail and there was a lone turkey in the neighbor’s yard having a snack from the bird feeder spillage. When the door opened, she straightened up, darted away from the tree, looked around in a panic, and started booking it across the street.

Everything I’ve tried to write here recently has been nothing but bitch, bitch, whine, bitch, whine, bitch, whine. I’m kind of sick of myself to be honest. Ech. Anyway. Bob sent me this on Discord. Then I turned my head to the left to see smiling snoot. He also sent me this without context. Because why does a frog riding a goose need any context?

The texture was on par with good Chinese food. I didn’t have… Keep reading…Up for grabs…
December. To that I say, finally and how because this year has felt both like an endless slog and a smear of blink and you’ll miss it. More so than usual at least. A few years ago (when exactly, I do not remember) finding the motivation to put up the Christmas tree did not happen until very late in the season (when exactly, I do not remember) and even then, I really DID NOT feel… Keep reading…Bathing in light…
November. We turned off the A/C for the last time on October 4th. It snowed for the first time on October 30th. Air conditioning to snow in 27 days. The turkeys have been hanging around almost daily under the neighbors’ bird feeders. They come running from the woods in a real hurry just to stop short under the tree for snacks. They get distracted easily and start to wander off, and then remember they were… Keep reading…Blown by the wind…
