I showed up for this.

I have been in the worst mood this past week. Not sleeping. Then sleeping during the day. I haven't been to yoga. I haven't shown up for myself in any way. I haven't been reading the manuscript I said I'd read for a friend. Last night I had a gin and tonic and a bowl of nuts for dinner. Tonight ice cream. In my pajamas. At 6 p.m. But I made a sign last night.

And today I showed up for this.

Some days I love my fellow humans. 

Dear fellow compassionate humans, I wish you well.

Wax your surfboards, the blue wave is coming!

I didn't make it to Washington D. C. this year or Los Angeles either because I just got home from a writer's residency, but Ventura's  march did not disappoint. The title of this post was my favorite sign today, but I didn't get a photo of it due to the shifting mass of people. The blue wave, the blue wave, yes.
