March 2, 2026: Doorways
Today’s prompt: Describe a doorway that mattered.
On the day we took possession of our first house, we weren’t the ones to walk in first. Circumstances made is such that Hannah’s mom was the first to arrive, and the one to struggle to open the lock box to get the keys.
At the time, it felt like a moment lost, a novelty we’d never experience again. Now, it’s just something I remember when prompted. I tend to get sentimental about things.

Emi had a bad night’s sleep last night, which means that we had a bad night’s sleep, too. Recovering from that is not easy. Maintaining your own rhythm and fluidity is difficult. I couldn’t tell you where the weekend went.

I have to get better about these posts. Sitting down to write them earlier in the day would likely help. Maybe there’s a way for me to work on them throughout the day or something. Whatever it is, I have to figure it out because these little posts aren’t cutting it.

At some time last year, before Emi was born, likely in the summer, I acquired a beaded bracelet from one of Hannah’s sisters.

It might not look like much, but I’m kind of proud of this here pen rest. It took some doing to get to – a story I should write. A few final touches, just some cleaning up, and it’ll be good to go.

A little while ago, I was thinking about doing some research into the notion of model minorities. The idea of writing some personal essays on the topic interests me. For right now, it’s another project that I can’t take on.
I was thinking about how – who – sets the standards which I measure my success by. As a model minority, it’s the achievement of someone else’s – the majority – standard that marks success. This, however, isn’t a complete telling of the nature of the objectives.
I need to think more on this.

Time is just getting away from me lately. I feel like I’ve written this before. There does seem to also be some sort deja vu aspect to my life these days. I need to find my register.

Finished the sample. Next, plan the full sized blanket and then make it.
There’s a shimmer.
