Sometimes Abigail goes outside with her people.

It's probably different elsewhere, but as a public defender in Oregon, I never receive payments from clients. I get a salary from a nonprofit. The court does sometimes charge clients a fee but that money doesn't go directly to us, I suppose the state DoJ gets it. Honestly, not sure about that.

I went to Saturday Market today. It was crisp and lovely and some folks were in costumes and some were handing out candy. Low-key ancient harvest holiday vibes. It was sweet and fun and even in the midst of all this, a few small memorials, a sense of changing seasons, a hint of dark and spooky.

It's been a long week so I'm going to wear my cozy orange sweater and make soup.

Sometimes I'm worried about some wild birds because they're not doing much so I go check on them and then I realize that they're just very chill birds. They're fine.
