my super-talented daughter drew this for me the other day. i put it on the fridge to remind me how lucky i am that my working days aren’t that much different. i get to work in pjs, blast music, and tumble when i feel like my head’s going to explode from needing a break.
though i really don’t eat that much sushi.

Is this her way of saying she would like to illustrate our FITA in Space graphic novel?
You guys might have to arm-wrestle it out!
Ha! Love it.
I think I owe you a gif tutorial, Emma!
Hilarious – all the important and comforting bits of your writing work day are there.
I know! She knows me well
that is adorable! Mine would be me flat on my back, in bed, snoring loudly.
And probably drooling, too…
You totally eat that much sushi, Els.
Brandy, it was supposed to be a secret! Now you owe me a sushi lunch when we finally meet up
I wouldn’t dream of having it any other way.
Oh, and I LOVE your daughter’s picture!!
Aw, thanks, Brandy! I’ll pass it on
And I’m so not kidding about that sushi lunch. Though if you come up here first, we do have the best sushi around–so I’ll take YOU out!
IT’S A PLAN. And i was just talking yesterday about how I want to get up to Canada sooner rather than later, so WATCH OUT.
Yeah, Brandy! You’re only a bit south of April, too! You guys need to get up–do a road trip or something. Plus, did I mention we have excellent pho AND Korean food, too? Canada is calling you, girl!
