I didn't want to write about it earlier, but a few days ago I saw the most amazing and beautiful morning anyone will ever see. It was around 6:00 am. It was just frighteningly beautiful and ridiculously magical. I won't go into detail. But, yes, magic. Literally magic. There were walking clumps of grass, unlawfully vivid full rainbows, mirror tricks, and then some. I was on the verge of tears when I was driving because I didn't have a camera. I bet if Garrett were in the car he'd be crying too. And then I told Brian we'd also be laughing/screaming at the ridiculous amounts of beauty and magic. Much like Zim and Gir when their spaceship was hurtling towards the ground in the Plague of Babies episode.

I return to Oregon soon. I always feel like I have some fatal disease in the last week or two of home. I feel like I'm the dutiful husband of a very conventional wife and father of a family of three kids (two boys and one girl) and I've just been told I have some sort of cancer that has rapidly spread to some vital organ and I've only got a few days or weeks to live. I've got to tie up all the loose ends here. I have to give away some stuff, collect some stuff, say bye/hi to some people I haven't gotten to during the summer, organize my finances, clean and organize my living area so other people can navigate through it without me, experience the beach one last time, eat at my favorite restaurant, have family get-togethers with relatives, spend quality time with my cat (which basically means I'm going to lie down flat on the ground with my chin on the floor as me and Milo stare at each other for a suspicious amount of time), and then just enjoy the rest of my time here as much as possible.

I tried replacing the toilet seat in my mom's bathroom today, like she's been whining me to this summer. The fucking screw wouldn't come off the old toilet. And my mom hid the tools and the new screws somewhere. I stabbed the seat cover with the screw driver. I'm a little irritable because I feel a twinge of cramp.
