what's the pain comparable to? a slap on sunburned skin?
a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter edition // observe ten. day 2866. (thursday, 5.8.25) // 1. grocery shopping with charlie. he knows where everything is and i realize i can’t remember the last time i was in a local grocery store—like within our zip code. i really delegated some things while simon was off of work and grocery shopping was a big one. i don’t hate the idea of taking that back, it’s just a paradigm shift. // 2. the checker at pick n save had to help me find my loyalty card in my app. // 3. charlie stayed at home by himself for the first time while i went to get his sisters. another last first just checked itself off the list. this is the leaps-and-bounds summer. oof. // 4. i’m sitting in the car working on my laptop at soccer practice. i answered a call and managed to get my watch stuck in my hair. insomnia does lead to a day of challenges for sure. yikes. // 5. i wish someone would walk up to my window and offer me a snow cone. that’s not a possible reality, but i can’t say i am not trying to manifest it. blue raspberry, please. // 6. people who name their kid "gideon" probably never realize that when yelled across a soccer field it sounds exactly like "idiot" and it's really quite awful. // 7. how many spiders live in the average american’s car? // 8. both girls will have art in the ernie pope art show this year. both works are animal-themed and i haven’t seen either piece yet. // 9. i have no elevator speech. zilch. it’s dive deep or else. yikes. // 10. i’m going to have to reach out, i guess. is it an obligation? if so, is it to myself? which iteration? my future self? my past self? and what about jiah’s birthday? that’s a different kind of silence. // #memory #magic #writing #ordinarymagic #dailylife #observeten #list #memories #reallife #ordinarylife #poemnotes #dailypractice #beherenow #weareinthistogether #storytelling #weareourstories #thesacredordinary #thepresentmoment #memoriesrealandimagined #swimminginallthefeels #beloveds #iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou #whatmattersmost #keepshowingup #trusttheprocess #idreamtofyouallsummerlong
