We decided not to buy him a book he wanted, and I already feel awful about it. I *hate* saying no to books. But it's a new hardcover, and we were only at the store to buy a birthday gift for his friend.

I wouldn't feel nearly so conflicted if it had been a toy. And we really will buy it for him soon - probably next pay period!

But he is heartbroken and wounded and angry and sad.

I'm at a stage in my life when I use makeup not to look pretty, but to hide the fact that I haven't had a full night's sleep since 2015.

It is 9:15, and we turn the clocks forward tonight. So if course, Oliver is still awake.

I'm too tired to toot, but here is a photo of my cats. Gozer (calico) is trying to clean her brother Perry's (ginger tabby) ears, but he's not thrilled about it and is biting her toes.

Sibling love can be complicated, even for cats.

Parenting means that I have to be thoughtful, empathetic, constructive, and considerate of long-term goals *all the fucking time* and it is exhausting.
