A more heartening day than expected: wrote “The End” on a comics project (a few more revisions for pace before a week/two week break from it and final tweaks) and figured out the podcast recording process. My brain is relieved.

Nothing at Parenthetical Recluse this morning. Switching to weekly – too many plates spinning and teetering and my interest in daily posting is at a low ebb. Want to try my hand at longer, more thought out things. New essay tomorrow.

Three years ago today, after some excremental excuse for a human being dumped this bundle of love, joy, and crazy out of their car in front of me on the day’s run, I brought Izzy home. And my heart’s been hers every second since.
