I had a dream that David Lynch's ghost was rowing me in a canoe to where he kept his secret treasures. They were all in a house inside of a tree, like the Keebler elves', and he had a bunch of manuscripts and trinkets and cool rocks and sticks. He lamented the price of propane for his lanterns.

Not to brag, but my baby is so fucking cute that my friends who literally run an organization about being childfree request photos of him.

Going about my day like I didn't manage a poopocalypse from 2:30-3:30am. But when I close my eyes. I still see and feel these wet horrors.

I got two (delightful) pages in before the baby needed me, but I have high hopes for more time with it at some point!

This is all I ever hope for when I get on a video call.

Good news, my friends and I have decided we don't accept Catherine O'Hara's death, so in our circle she remains alive! Anyone is welcome to join us in this reality.

The downside of being so happy is that I look completely psychotic in every single photo with my baby
