Twenty-Three Days In Before I Didn't Have a Blaugust Idea And That's Kinda Rad

I mean, I'm still here doing it anyway but I think that's fascinating

Ok so, considering that this month so far I've done the following:

  1. Celebrated a 21st anniversary
  2. Quit a job
  3. Started a new job (Not writing about that here)
  4. Gone full hog into prepping for a cross-country move
  5. Other stuff that's day-to-day important but feels inconsequential in the scheme of the above

it feels weird to me that it was this, the twenty-third day of Blaugust is when I got hit with the "wel...shit, what should I write about today?"

I think that's kinda neat tbh!!

Blaugust is nothing if not an exercise in doing a thing and sometimes it's ok for the thing to come up empty. However writing this down (and selecting the photos) did give me some ideas for stuff I could write about in the future. It's all a process, man.


Anyway, thanks for reading. Here's your-end-of-post cat; her name is Skitters and sometimes she screams at us until we find her a soft blanket to nurse on. She's ten years old.
