Donated my faithful &amp; reliable 1997 car today to a disabled veterans’ group. Hard to see it sail away atop a tow truck, but the irrepressible twins made me laugh-by-text the whole time.

Waking up to rain (real, not YouTube) is delicious! <br/>2. Actually sleeping long enough to wake up cheerful is also wonderful. My mood is directly proportional to the minutes of 💤💤 I get. <br/>3. Working on a Procreate painting of Big Sur &amp; “drifted off with the fairies” for 3 hours — the same trance I used to experience while writing. (3 hours = 1 rocky cliff. The Big Sur coast is a marathon!) <br/>4. Bonus: my son filmed &amp; texted a video of the roads leading up to &amp; through his rural-ish NC neighborhood — very beautiful &amp; very autumnal. 2025-10-26T20:28:27+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstf6zh72yncxnzg2v6hxmjxun748xkz7s7rx8q5dwj2qvlzx3l0xszyz3kau208azylaasdm0fw39e48lxerl0w6lyc78c0zcvqzda24yw5jpu43c #3goodthings #ThreeGoodThings #birds #albatross<br/>Thursday, Oct 23 🎃<br/><br/>1.

Clean house, clean sheets — grateful that I have excellent help. <br/>3. (Pic below) This pair of gorgeous albatrosses have already mated since their return to Pukekura, NZ, &amp; the 2025 cam chick is more than halfway to South America (3600+ miles already) — plus, the popular eagle cam couples across the U.S. are nesting.
