Can’t sleep can’t sleep can’t sleep can’t sleep can’t sleep can’t sleep

the past few days I cannot turn off the incessant maniacal onomatopoeia in my mind, it’s all it’s doing, dictating those preposterous names and words and phrases; simultaneously soothing and exhausting.
I have nothing to wear so I mended an ancient frayed white linen shirt using grandma Smaro’s αυγό καρικώματος / darning egg / œuf à repriser, or stoppeæg -for our Danish readers. Nailed it, no? Rather literally.
I miss grandma.

Be careful what you wish for.
The goddamn universe always be eavesdropping.

After conducting an admittedly quite half-assed research, it appears that so far into 2026, the word husbandry was used 4 times by The Guardian, 4 times by the BBC, 3 times by The Independent, not once by The New York Times or CNN and once each by Fox News and Wall Street Journal. ’Tis a pity; ’tis a good word. Perhaps its meaning is too stressful or—God forbid—triggering, for the brittle snowflakes of today.
(also lighting a tall ass candle for the indignant fate of our dear fallen friend—the em dash.)
Tzenifer died today. T called me to tell me.

I had been walking to a lunch date, I heard crying. I searched and I searched. I looked up. She was perched atop a 3 meter iron door, crying. I gather her family was probably on the patio on the other side of the door. I immediately climbed and brought her down. She was instantly calm and purring in my arms. I cancelled the date and took her straight home, a warm bath, a fluffy towel, she fell asleep on top of me, we dozed off. The most affectionate, tender, trusting, sweet natured cat I have ever met. I had to ask T to adopt her, I was too scared of the attachment; how damaged my mind is. They became inseparable, he loved her hard. He’s devastated.
I’m so heart broken, she was the kindest soul. I hope I did good by her. Poor darling.
Typically unfair; I wish it had been A. instead.
It was c4nc3r.
