As my calendar marks the end of January 2025, I realize how easily my steady rhythm of writing, editing, cooking, tutoring, and reading has made me lose track of time. The days have blurred together, particularly since harsh weather has kept me home. Yet, looking back, the month has been full.
Though the days felt repetitive, much has happened in these first weeks of the year. I've kept busy with my furry companions and various pursuits — following the devastating fires in Los Angeles, listening to audiobooks, and diving into webinars on health, gardening, and other interests.
Today is special. Hoppoo, Pishi, and I celebrate Looloo’s birthday — fourteen years since Hoppoo and Koochooloo’s boy came into the world.
Thank you, Koochooloo, for bringing Looloo into my life. I miss you every day.
