If I do not clean the juicer tonight...

April 9, 2018 Melina Coogan

...then my husband will leave me and frankly who can blame him. Because it is a Herculean task that takes anywhere between fourteen to seventy eight minutes, I must dedicate this evening to this task instead of writing. Besides which, I wrote yesterday's with half a brain and it shows. It barely makes sense- maybe I need to space this thing out more. Perhaps writing every day is an exercise in senselessness. 

However, in the spirit of the world's most insipid journal idea ever (one line a day for five years, come on) I'll say this: Bug is six months old to the day. How has six months passed, etc etc and similar sentiments. We hung out with Juniper Rose, one of Bug's best friends. Trader Joes run (saw all our friends). Tasting Station out of commission so we didn't get a food sample- bad luck- mom was looking forward to it. She wore a hot pink hipster jumpsuit with a synched middle, Amelia in produce gave compliments. Jumsuit arrived in mail from cousin Ali three days ago. Best outfit yet. 

Six months old! One Half! Point Five! 

I also have to clean the Cuisinart. 

God help Me.

I used to work under her! ✨One more ballot packed with votes for for sustainable development, public transit, affordable housing, universal healthcare and common sense gun laws (reproductive health, taxing billionaires, climate health, immigration reform...) for North Carolina!! #votedemocrat

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!! 🌈 Ever since we had Olive surgically extracted from my mid-section, every day has felt like a happy birthday. But today really is your birthday so I’m going to try and make it extra special, even though we’re all sick. You are so funny and I’m so in love with you. I thought you’d be a good dad, but I was so wrong. You’re an extraordinary dad. You’re the best.
