7/7: stories
A new story by my friend appeared on her Substack (link to the Substack here), and I read a short story by Naoko Awa to Chris.
7/6: cleaning
...the carpet in the bedroom. It needed to be done, but I kept putting it off. When I finally got to it, I enjoyed the work and the results. < I need to keep this in mind in the future, so the lesson I learned is an additional good thing.
7/5: so happy
...that my mother gave me the 6 cookie stamps we used at home when I was a kid. I love them, and I love using them to make peanut butter cookies (like I did today).
7/4: echoes
...of a meal. Last year on 7/4 I wrote about the dinner I had with my mother and a friend in Pennsylvania: pierogi, baked beans, vegan dogs, sauerkraut, peanut butter and jelly pie. I wondered what they were having for dinner today, so I texted them to ask. My friend had opted for pierogi, vegan dogs, sauerkraut, and a vegan ice-cream sandwich. It turns out that I had decided on that same menu for Chris and me!
7/3: happy finds
...via Artforum today: an essay on Blythe Bohnen's brushstrokes and a recommendation of Max Davies' Inventions for Broken & Prepared Guitar. The digital world has caused troubles for sure, but today it allowed me to see more of Bohnen's art and listen to Davies' album.
7/2: working
...on websites I manage. I'm not good at it, which frustrates me, but I kept going, and that's a good thing.
7/1: good emails
...one of which I received yesterday, from a friend I first met 40 years ago; the other I received today, from a former student I first met almost 11 years ago.
