... You know, I had an epiphany dream last night w/out realizing until I looked at a calendar that that's what it was.

... You know, I had an epiphany dream last night w/out realizing until I looked at a calendar that that's what it was.

I knew it was Epiphany because the review I was working on last night was of a Christmas movie and I thought I could get it in under the wire of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but as soon as I heard the news about the—have we settled on a name for it yet? Insurrection, treason, sedition, attempted putsch—something else started to scratch underneath my associations with the day, and this turned out to be it.

Back to our regularly scheduled national collapse, I guess.

That works, too. But I got Cooper first.

Too real.

Too real.

It clicked and it felt like being haunted. I want all this light out of dark we've been holding onto to mean something.

May it be turned back, and may all the storms break and fall away. <3

You are welcome. It's our tradition. And it sounds like she was.
