This has been a pretty fun week for me, though my eye twitch continues (despite sleeping well and spending a lot less time on the internet!). I am happy to report that I haven’t checked my Amazon ranking in an entire week. I’ve been set free.
On Monday evening I flew to Oakland. I stayed with my oldest and dearest friend Diana (pronounced Dee-Anna for those who don’t know; her dad is Serbian). Diana, her husband, and their 10-year-old daughter, live in a beautiful house with a perfect deck overlooking hills that seem downright Tuscan they’re that picturesque. If you have multiple kids, like I do, the quiet and calm of their home would truly amaze you Oh, to have only one neurotypical daughter! Imagine the peace! Their house is like a fucking spa every day!
