already complaining about winter darkness and colds that we just can't shake

lately edition // observe ten. day 3061. (wednesday 11.19.25) // 1. her bell as she trots around, thrilled it’s morning again. // 2. where is her house? why can’t i remember? ah yes, next to the jason bourne alleyway. // 3. street sweeper + snuffleupagus leaf picker-upper. it’s a richard scarry kind of morning. // 4. electric birdsong. so many frozen ginkgo leaves. // 5. the halloween gorp kicked off a customized trail mix frenzy. // 6. this countdown app used to look so different. there are still events from pre-pandemic times. almost 3000 days have passed. // 7. yesterday he would have been 88. he’s still around, just not “around around”... we talk about how energy doesn’t die, it just changes form. he’s been transformed. and he’s everywhere, it seems. // 8. on the other side of things, we have the “you’ve been spared the pain” situation which i’ll never be able to wrap my head around, although i know i should just shut up and be grateful. when it stops hurting, i will. // 9. focus groups and letters of recommendation. still so many things i’m behind on. // 10. gonna give it until monday and we’ll see if it’s any better. just let it be better. this descent into winter hell is no joke. i’m going to need the days to get longer again, stat. // #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 #nibletsrhymeswithgoulet
