Pandemic Diary: April 28-May 9

April 28 Here's a weird habit I'm picking up in quarantine: obsessing over my body. I blame it on having so much extra time, but I will stare at myself in the mirror until I'm sick of it. I vacillate between profound delight and violent indifference over how I look at different angles, in different…

April 27 After a five-week-long closure, my coffee shop is scheduled to open on May 5. I miss my coworkers and I miss my routine, but I don't know if I can return, because I don't know where I'll spend the night. I have two options: Commute 50 miles from Puyallup to Seattle. That means…

April 11 Tomorrow is Easter. I've still only been reading the Bible for Lent. I'm halfway through Ezekiel. But tomorrow, I'll finally start reading other books, too. It's about time. As good as it is to read the Bible, it's not easy. My favorite book I've read the last couple months is Ecclesiastes. Some of…

Three days dicking around in Florence and I only just discovered that this is where they blew up that sperm whale in 1970. Link in bio. (Not to one of my David Sedaris wannabe blogs, but to the actual explosion footage.)
The Alvord Desert! (Possibly the most remote place I’ve ever been?) There were wild horses, hot springs, snowy mountains, a vast, thrice-rain-shadowed playa, and generally a lot of views that made my tummy feel funny. It took rerouting an entire vacation, five years on the bucket list, three days of driving to get to the middle-of-nowhere town closest to it—which is still 2.5 hours away—precautionary tire chains, a long audiobook, and a cooler of food, and it was all worth it! If you’re ever in the area (doubtful), be sure to swing by.
Today I celebrate two of my interests—tator tots and religion—by going to the Taco Time whose salsa bar the Rajneeshees attacked.
The next valentine is a bit more racy and features partial nudity.
Wrote a valentine to a guy I stared at during an open mic three years ago. Should be good. (I also draw pictures.)
Shoutout to the kid who drew a cup of water for our winter drink special drawing challenge. As a prize, he has won free cups of water for life!
Look at all that geology.
My bathroom doorknob fell off a few weeks ago. I was just leaving the door ajar but today I shut it and now I’m stuck in my own bathroom. Have a good one. #pleasebuymybook #effortlessstyle #pnw
