working from home for first day

in my new home, and working! from home! it’s cool but i see future problems. like snacking pretty hard; petting clyde; lot of time putting on more layers (right now at 3); extremely bad posture; thinking about drinking hot beverages; internet reading (42 tabs open); etc.

my project list for my time in houston

in other news, i just got back from my houston sojourn last week and had a lot of big creative plans for my time there (see above) but turns out i’m terrible at part-time contract work and basically just stressed the whole time and sadly did nothing on this list, except buy a black turtleneck at a thrift store. amazing. what can you do. but some other things:

• made this bath soak — fun, incredibly easy, not cheap. now i have a better idea about how to do it and how i would do it better, but i don’t even have a bathtub anymore, so i can’t test them and is that safe and am i going to get into the bath soak business?
• watched getting on — loved first two seasons, the third maybe not as much, but still deeply endorse
• watched transparent — truthfully, i loved it, though i don’t LOVE judith light on it, is that heresy
• wrote all my thank you notes
• loved every second of houston
• fell asleep pretty early every night
• started therapy
• deep hung with my family and basically no friends (exquisite)
• got no massages
• went to no cafes

basically all i did was hole up and try and regenerate. i think i wanna recreate this in marfa — just quiet living. KEEP IT QUIET (new shirt imma make)

(also maybe “WITH A LITTLE MORE MUSTARD”)

cloud pillow

guys, it’s new year’s eve! we went to a surprise (not surprise) wedding with a concert by bitchin’ bajas and now we’re supposed to continue partying, but ross (!!!!!) wanted to come home to change clothes and get warm, so good luck if i maintain steam to go back out (prospect: fairly likely, but not in the exact same carefree i’m-going-till-midnight-no-question way). however i got to see a lot of wonderful people that i love and drink prosecco and wear this one-shouldered jumpsuit that i’ve had for 3 years that i’ve never worn, so that was all quite cool. while i was sitting listening at the concert, i had literally ONE MILLION things to say, but now i’m like: ___________. BUT, in the meantime, i’ve been meaning to talk about this invention i had last week — a pillow made of many layered pillows, so you can burrow your head away from light / sound, without needing MULTIPLE pillows, and without said multiple pillows falling away or off your head and then ruining the sleep party. basically you are cocooning your head in a cozy pillow heaven. possibly also a suffocating pillow heaven. but first things first i need to make a protoype and see if i suffocate.
