that i facetimed my parents and it was nice and they ended up less worried about me than they have been lately

to have gotten to play music the other day with a friend who i thought had moved away

for the sound of electric guitar through a tube amp and for the ways that an effects patch can shape what you play and how you play it

for how miso was so overjoyed when i got home that night that it almost made me want to leave the house more 

that miso has had fewer accidents than i would have expected this week when i've been watching her alone

that on wednesday i got to spend all day coding and that friday i had a proof of concept of the thing i was working on that impressed people

my weekly call with the kind engineer, who is so honest and generous and who i can talk with about both technical problems and emotional ones

that our next team retreat is going to be on a beach in florida in may

to alexandra ocasio-cortez, who is such a fucking boss (https://mobile.twitter.com/nw_nicholas/status/1101545567321239553?s=12) and who is always dropping bombs of joy and principles and intelligence and righteous anger into the news cycle, which makes staying informed about current events not so endlessly depressing

that the stomach upset i had earlier in the week from eating too much spicy food has gone away (which means that tonight if i want i can let myself get some more spicy food)

watching bad movies that i probably wouldn't watch if d was home (last night overlord, which was dumb but also entertaining)

that d will be back in just a couple of days

that it is saturday and i'm about to go on a long run
