About 1/3 of my brain is stored in my writing clogs:

A pair of Birkenstock suede clogs with a cork sole, which contain approximately 1/3 of my ideas, clarity, and perspective, and when I misplace them, my brain fritzes out

A roughly-made plywood desk. A vase containing peonies and gardenias, mint sprigs and laurel leaves, is in the upper left corner. Two small Diptyque candles are burning sandalwood and rose scents into the room. A manuscript is propped up on the left-hand side, a draft-in-progress is on the laptop next to it. Edited pages of the manuscript are scattered behind the laptop.

A writing nook with a chair and boards laid across shelf supports. There's a vase in the corner holding a bouquet of peonies, gardenias, mint sprigs, laurel leaves, and ivy - it's from Meghan Markle's collaboration with High Camp florists. I am on a small retreat/long weekend in a historic old house, because I want to and nobody's stopping me. What you can't hear is the music - WQXR is playing Bach's St. Matthew Passion for Good Friday.

OMG. How I stared at this album cover as a child, trying to figure out just what the hell was going on:

Album cover of Herb Alpert's Whipped Cream and Other Delights. A woman in a white gown made of whipped cream - with a dollop of it on her head as a hat, holding a rose, is licking her finger. I spent my childhood trying to figure out where the dress began and the whipped cream ended and just how the heck did they make this even possible - it wasn't until I was a much older kid that I realized it was about sex. I was just like, "how did they get a Cinderella dress like this?"

If you see this, qts with a pic from your gallery to describe your mental health

From the outdoor set of the series Gotham, which was filmed at Bayley-Seton Hospital, the sign reads "Arkham Asylum." Bayley-Seton was where I first went to get outpatient therapy, while it was being used at a set for Gotham. The hospital was mostly abandoned and probably haunted. Incredibly effective.

Songbook. Hootenanny Songbook.

Cover of The Hootenanny Songbook, which contained so many folk songs that my father would play on his guitar, or with his friends on banjo and mandolin, and I would play on autoharp, recorder, and piano.

Pan-seared duck with cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach. On fancy dishes, with the fancy silverware, and a bouquet of red roses in a crystal vase.

One summer evening, a few years ago, I went for a walk after dinner. It brought me to the far side of the zoo gate and there was a peacock there to greet me. Creepily.

Peacock behind a zoo gate. You can't tell from this photo, but he is staring at me.

Picture of Corrie Ten Boom, who hid over 800 Jews in her house in Haarlem, Netherlands, during World War II. She was eventually arrested and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. She survived (her sister and father did not), and went on to write The Hiding Place, which was published in 1971.

That pot roast was really something else, and I'm looking forward to more tonight.

Pot roast with potatoes, parsnips, pearl onions, and gravy. Seasoned with rosemary, thyme, red chili flakes, and finished with Maldon's sea salt flakes.
