I had a nice shower while I burned incense.

One of our succulents has bloomed.

I got some great recordings done!

My cat has successfully knocked down all acoustic panels of a certain make from the walls of the studio.

Finally figured out a good mic setup for recording voice and acoustic guitar in two tracks: RE20 and Beta 58 butt-to-butt, with the RE20 pointed at the chin and the Beta 58 pointed downward toward the 1st string at the 12th fret. The hypercardioid pattern of the Beta 58 is especially helpful.

My morning tea was a comfort.

I had a really helpful therapy session talking through my creative block.

I submitted an article pitch to a magazine; I hope they select it!

I went for a walk with my partner and our cat.

My partner made us huevos rancheros.

We watched some Power Rangers for the nostalgia.

I know some folks prefer CW for #politics posts. I hear that and try to CW anything I consider could be triggering.

But to my autistic brain, everything is political: that's what makes everything so interesting and so rife with opportunity for us to liberate ourselves.

My partner @jgerhardtmusic talks about "turning the prism of love," and that's what I mean: politics is a facet of that prism of love.

The new medicine my neurologist gave me eventually got rid of my headache.

Acupuncture was really relieving for my pain.

I felt good in my skin and connected to my sense of gender.

Oh the contradictions of being a music tech nerd.

Self-massage with my gua sha stone helped relieve my headache.

I drank tea from the mug my friend got me years ago.

My neurology appointment was relatively easy.

I LOVE how recorded music reverberates outdoors. Just the simple difference of opening a window is enough.
