Life is happening faster than I can post about it. That’s not a complaint. These are all very good things happening, but they keep stacking on each other and then I’m so exhausted that I just go to sleep. So, again, I’m not thinking about it anymore–I’m just posting when I feel like it.

Very good things that have been happening:

1. I went on a Disney Cruise. It was dope. I still have not posted pictures to Facebook.
2. I went to see August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom tonight. Also dope. I am behind on posting pictures for all of the plays I’ve been to in the past few months.
3. I have an essay in 88 Unashamed Black Mental Health Stories. The collection is–wait for it–dope. This past Saturday, I read my essay along with a bunch of other writers. The event was…well, you know the rest. I don’t remember how many of us read, but I do know that I and a seventeen-year-old (!) contributor plus the photograph were the only non-poets there. Some of my friends went, and we had dinner, and then attended a games night. LONG DAY. (But dope! You knew it was coming.) You can buy the book wherever you buy books!
4. School started. My classes still are not fully prepped out, which I do not like. But it’s a good group so far. They all seem really engaged, and two people already said they like our class. I have two much older returning students in my comp class, and they are so adorable. I could have been nicer to my creative writing class today, but it’s too late now.
5. Tomorrow, I’m supposed to be going to a Ted Lasso watch party. The party starts with episode three of the new season. I have not yet watched the first two episodes of the season.
6. I am taking a sewing class.
7. This week, my schedule has been bananas. I have had something to do directly after work each day (see above re: sewing class and play). It calms down next week. (Except for the sewing class.)

And now I’m falling asleep. (Hello, it’s the next day! I officially fell asleep while typing that post. EXHAUSTED. It’s 8:38 a.m., and I already need a nap.) (Plus also, I have a catch up post that I hand wrote on my Kindle Scribe–I have a Scribe now! Her name is Bartleby, of course–but I haven’t had time to convert it to text I can post.) (I feel like Jessie Spano in Saved By the Bell. Don’t worry. I haven’t started taking speed.)
