three things make a post
Why did nobody ever tell me that tea is so much better than coffee? The little cafe near my gym has a blend called "Somali Tea", which is some random black tea with cardamom pods in it, and I drank that with cream while taking the train to work and I felt extremely Right.

I am not always a saintly parent. I love Natalie fiercely, but sometimes my patience is short. I snap at her. I have petty arguments about things that don't matter, because I forget that they don't matter. I do things I'm not proud of. It's my job to find the graceful and harmonious way out of a situation, but sometimes I just don't have the tools at hand and things suck. Sometimes things suck a lot. I wish that for just one day I could hear my mother say, oh, honey, it's okay. I did that to you, too. It's okay.
In the meantime, it's really, really good to have a husband who understands, and a child who can say, "I'm sorry, I really wanted to listen but my body wasn't listening to me and I don't know why." Yeah. I've been there. Sometimes I don't know either.

Which should I do: 100 days of pictures, with one taken and posted every day, or 60 days of portraits, one posted every day, but with portraits taken in batches? There are benefits and drawbacks to both, from this side; which would be more interesting to see?
