A bath, a cigarette, and an espresso are always a good place to ponder one's circumstance.

It will be interesting how all of this shakes out. Though your own priorities listed here make good sense to me, from the perspective of a creative. For a writer to have one's books, and records, is a big deal.

I only hope that the clearer minds of you and Salome prevail in this moment. Yes, Daisy may be making progress, though achieving any sort of clear mind will take months, if not years.

I trust I have not crossed a boundary by being so bold as to say so.

All the best to you, my friend. Sending good juju your way.
