Had a good day, saw a relative, received an amazing gift, went to a restaurant with a 2nd floor porch patio overlooking the beach. A good day. But the bottom still fell out. I'm not alone, I've never had more support (and Thomasin has never been more clingy), but I still feel that way. The feeling passes, but it is powerful.

On the patio, enjoying poutine and cola (they serve my favourite beer, but I can't have beer for a very long time, if ever)

This patio is the source of most of Balm Beach's pretty lights

I stayed much longer than I expected, you can yell because I've now had too much sun

I only look sunburned, the sun is filtering through a giant red string light bulb

But I really do look sunburned
