⛄ New item added to to-do list: Check webcams on a ski town in Spain. Fingers crossed there’s snow after Christmas.

🗺 Hey, look, it’s Hemispheric Views Day in Sticker Land!

A peeling utility pole with a blue and yellow sticker reading “Hemispheric Views” in front of a wall with glossy green tiles.

A sticker on a pole reads “Hemispheric Views: A Podcast for Vitality,” set against a blurred background of greenery and a path.

🌺 The Garden

A rustic window with a peeling white frame and green trim. The glass panes feature a colorful floral pattern in shades of blue, pink, and purple. The wall around the window is textured and worn.

A laptop with "Pampa" written on the screen.

💵 The new travel magazine that will use my photos from the islands is US-based. To get paid I’ll need a W-something or other form, and also jump through some hoops before I see the money. No idea what my tax situation will be after all this. On top of everything, they don’t even pay that well.

🥰 In the morning, before heading out, I built her the biggest pillow fort/cave she’d ever seen. We went in, and she quickly drew a thank you. Unaware that it will be my next tattoo.

A child’s drawing featuring a cloud with a sun, a purple figure, a heart with an arrow, and a red drawing labeled “PAI” with a smiling heart, with Mohawk hair, and a crazy beard.

🍰 We had a very full day, with two birthday parties. tinyMovieStar slept on the way back, but woke up when we got home. It’s close to 11PM, and she’s still rambling about how some kids in her school are too naughty to grab a spot on the good Santa list.

🥃 Back home. movieStars met me at the concert, had dinner there, and we came home together. While there I was introduced to the most amazing cachaça I’ve ever tasted! Great might, in the end.

😊 Off to shoot a concert. Pro-bono, almost. Would rather be home with the girls, but… it’s a pro-bono situation.

That Christmas, 2024 - ★★★½
