Tadaima
A place to jot down the random stuff that pops in my head. Tadaima is Japanese for "I'm home!" or "I'm here!". It's also a great album by Akiko Yano.

A few weeks ago I went up to see that MAGA friend.馃檮 I had written about her in the past, but after an unrelated post brought in some unexpected traffic, I unpublished that post about her since it suddenly felt too personal. Long story...
If a stranger is annoying me, they'll probably never know it. I have tremendous patience and will put up with most things as long as I can maintain the peace, even if I'm seething inside. But there are other times when I reach a breaking...
Couples who don't have children all do one thing together: play board games. I feel like that's all me and my husband and all our friends do when we're together. Someone cooks and makes drinks, while the men get way too into the game and...
It's funny reading posts from people talking about how old they are, how they're changing, how things aren't the same anymore, how they're worried about the future, how they miss their childhoods, how aging is scary, how they miss the...
I have an Obsidian note titled "Copypasta" where I copy/paste random shit I stumble across that I think is weird/funny/interesting and don't want to forget. The other day I was looking at it and found a weird Amazon review I had saved...
I've been progressively getting into dream symbolism lately, but it's been a long, slow road because dreams are so abstract. Most of the time I wake up and, even if I remember the dream, I have no idea how to even put them into words....
My husband had to have a minor surgery a few weeks ago. Before they wheeled him into the operating room, I slapped him on the foot and told him he'd be okay before walking out with a garbage bag full of his clothes. I sat in the waiting...
Every old Christian person I know (which is basically my entire family) thinks it's the end of the world. They're convinced that we're living in "perilous" times and that it's a wrap. Get ready. Christ is coming! (Although they say this...
When I got my first real job, I used to get so nervous about writing emails to my boss. I would run spellcheck, triple-check the grammar, read over it again and again to make sure my tone sounded professional and mature and not young and...
Lately, I've been thinking of getting a cat. I've never had one before and have only had dogs. Unfortunately, right now I'm not at a place where I can devote the amount of time and responsibility needed to care for a puppy, but a cat...?...
I read this article about "shared realities," and it obviously made me think of current events. I live in a red state, so whenever I'm meeting someone new, I always have to send out feelers and hints to find out where they stand. Which...
Although I don't miss NYC, the one thing I do miss is not having a car. I prefer walking. I like trains and buses. I like reading and napping during my commutes. What I don't like is being stuck in a car, sitting in traffic. Or wondering...
I work from home and so does my husband, so space is tight. I endured it for years: frequent interruptions, my husband loudly cooking pasta at 2pm while I'm on a call, random drop-ins from maintenance workers. I noticed my productivity...
I spent all year whining about stuff I hate, so here's a list of stuff I didn't hate. Not everything was released in 2025, but it's all stuff I happened to stumble across this year that made a lasting impression. The key word here is...
A few weeks ago, I spent some time with my aunt and my mom. We were catching up and sharing stories about my grandmother and the house they grew up in. When we got on the topic of forgotten family pets, a memory I hadn't thought of in...
