Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Man! This has been a crazy awesome week!

Okay, so here's the deal: I've been on my first official road trip with two dear friends from my TikTok shenanigans. The goal was to move them in together, and we've already done a lot of unpacking and enjoyed ourselves. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to travel safely and meet some incredible people in person.

Also, I'm gonna be thirty-two in three days. I've always liked the number 32. Not sure why. It just feels solid. I've accomplished a lot. I'm in an amazing marriage. I've learned and loved and grown into a person I never thought I'd become, even as I navigate things like online teaching and doing palliative care for an ailing pet.

And now I'm going to crash on the couch and enjoy the fact that my Colorado friend has central air.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

Her curls lay in wet swaths around the warm nape of her neck. The statues would crumble in due time. The deluge was impending. We both would drown.
