It’s hard to articulate what another year without my dad is like. Although the world continues to spin, and life moves onward it’s an emptiness that remains.

The pain never goes away, but like a curled edge on a carpet, the frequency with which I trip over it is less and my mind and body have grown accustomed to the hazard.

Not to say that I don’t still fall on my face from time to time. And today, on this day, every year there is no way that I will ever avoid the fall. His absence is an obscenity that I will never be desensitized to.

The Dad shaped space that occupies my life where he used to reside radiates brighter on this day as all the things I wish I could share with him and tell him boil out of my throat and spill into the nothingness he left behind.

This month I saw two bands that I first saw with him, and while I enjoyed my show companions, it felt weird to see them without him. I want to listen to records with him. I want to show him movies that would make him laugh. I want to recommend books to him that he will discover in the bottom of a pile and read 5 years after the fact and call me to rave about long after they have exited my radar. I want to hug him. I want to hear him say “hey Paige-o” I want to watch him do too many things while he is driving. I want to shoot around of disc golf or wax poetic about sunsets.

All of this to say, I miss you Dad

Listen, if you’re in the impacted tidal surge zones or in evacuation zones. LEAVE. I don’t care how long you have lived in Florida, what your neighbors are doing, or how you think it could never happen to you. Climate change is real, and these storms are nothing to gamble with. GET OUT.

Matty and I are in Colorado and the cat sitter we booked to watch Proffe and Doctor is not working out. We’re back on Wednesday but we need someone in the house who can give them a topical medication twice a day. At this point I am out of patience and have zero options. If you can hang out with them until until Wednesday I’ll literally owe you my life.

There aren’t really words to express the hole left behind when the greatest of us departs. There is no filling it, but Angela is an A+ human and any support you can show to her in this horrible time is greatly appreciated.

It's the winter season, and that means that most Americans choose to exchange gifts. While I love a good pixie present list, I am not in a place to do an organized gift exchange this year, and I know a lot of other people aren't also.

So, leave your wishlist for whatever sites here, and I will leave mine, and look through other people's and if you want to pick up a little something, then do it. (I also just want to see all of your wishlists, because I'm nosey) Goodreads lists also accepted, though you may need to accept some DMs for addresses if someone wants to buy books for you, or a kindle/nook email address.

This is not a holiday gift exchange, this is just an opportunity to get and send some gifts if you so choose. No obligation, no requirement, no gods, no masters, just fun.

I am so grateful to the people who have been sharing and donating already, it means the world to me and my boy.

You are all the best.

Hiiii! It’s me again!

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared, and reached out to me. You’re all amazing, and I am so grateful.

I’ve got the further testing scheduled for two weeks, and am hoping to get that portioned covered by then. If I have to eat it, so be it. I gotta case of ramen and a will to see my boy thrive, but I’d really rather not resort to that.

Bosch is big mad at me because he needs to lose 4 lbs so his food has been decreased by about 10%. And when Bosch is mad, he poops on stuff. So far he’s aimed at shoes, my desk chair, the floor in front of the door, and my sleeping body. I managed to catch him each time before he could fire his stinky little missiles, but protest heard buddy.

I was down with a migraine for all of yesterday hiding in my bathtub and praying for death, abs as per usual my little guy was the best nursemaid.

Thank you to everyone who has helped so far.

If you can’t donate but would like to help, a share goes a long way.

❤️
