“I’ll Cry Until the Candles Burn Down This Place”

On Wednesday, August 12, 2026 I did several things I’d never done before. I turned 52. I started taking calcium & vitamin D12 supplements (which are delicious). And I worked out in a gym, taking my first ever Zumba Class with Aaron. Also, I successfully touched my toes. That must seem odd, but I’ve never been able to do it before. I’ve never even come close! Small victories? Perhaps. But they all felt great and they all made me very happy. Aaron also got me some gifts – including flowers and balloons – and lots of kisses. It was a good day. I’m 52 years old. But I feel so much younger! And I know I look way younger than people did in their 50s when I was a kid, so that’s a nice bonus!

I went to bed, having some healthy snacks along the way but I only slept until 3am. I’ve been editing photos and catching up on my blog since then. I didn’t realize until just now that it’s been almost 5 hours! I also had a smoothie in that time.

I’m going to go cuddle with Aaron while there is time!

“And it does not hurt…”

Coming back into our building after walking to Staples. 05-08-26.

I had another productive day. No cleaning, but I did upload about 40 poems and got a massive amount finished on the Marvel Multiverse viewing order (draft) which will one day be living here. I also got outside again. That’s 6 days in a row. I hadn’t been out 5 days in a row in months (at the very least) but 6 days seems like a miracle and I have plans to head to Pennsylvania with Aaron tomorrow, so hopefully that all goes well and I’m outside again. It means a lot to me, but I also feel a little embarrassed that my life has gotten so insular that this feels like such a huge win. But it is!

They released some more promotional art for this Tuesday’s Punisher Special Presentation, which of course I used in a collage, because when don’t I?

The “One Last Kill” banner was released today. I combined it with posters of Frank’s previous appearances in “Daredevil: Season 2”, Seasons 1 & 2 “The Punisher” & Season 1 of “Daredevil: Born Again”.

As far as food goes, I had a bit that wasn’t so great. I mean, I had junk food. I had chips. And later I had some garlic bread with chia seeds. But I also had 2 smoothies. I also drank a lot of water, which I also had yesterday. Tomorrow food will be…interesting, and possibly challenging as I’ll be a in a group of mostly strangers. I’ll probably have a smoothie before we leave but Aaron has seen to it that we’re going out for Italian food after and there’s a Pizza Margherita where we’re going and I usually do pretty well with those. Thanks Aaron! He scoped all the options out in advance. I just thanked him out loud and gave him a kiss.

I’m very tired. But I’ve been awake since about 3am. I will likely at least get ready for bed soon. I want to try calling Mark Adams first though. We’ve not spoken in a few days and I want to hear his thoughts on Daredevil.
