T's gone out of town for a few days, enabling strange culinary experimentation, just made myself some burrito-type things filled with very cuminy cabbage. Kind of reminded of the large cabbage-heavy egg rolls I used to get at Wong's Chinese fast food when I was 13 & had Bar Mitzvah money burning a hole in my pocket.

There are some flies in the house, driving Peretz nuts.

Continuing to feel oddly at ease with myself, thought I'd resigned myself to the darkness of this world a long time ago, honestly, I probably had, but I've just had to do it again. Let myself hope that something worthwhile might be spared with enough care & effort, I'm done hoping for that. We're all going down together at least, love you kids, let me know if you need anything.
