I say this with love. And realize this is, actually, my drama. And I realize this is written for more than one person, too. Four months to four years. I do feel your absence. I wish I didn’t. I wish I could learn not to feel, but I’ve been that person before and I am […]

Today, I felt peace. I wasn’t expecting that. I’ve barely worked my other jobs this week. At some point, I’ll kick myself, for the money I could have made, but, right now, I am at peace. There are times, with my meditations, that I think of emotions as drops. Drops of anger, kindness, grief, giggles. […]

Yesterday. Yes, more yesterdays, but this one is happier. Yesterday, I called home, so excited. I was driving down a hill, in our spectacular fall weather, grey skies, gorgeous yellow and orange trees. It was a split second. This red tailed hawk fell from the electrical lines, snapped his wings out, and flew right over […]

It’s a day for quotes. I think the words I’m trying to avoid are “full circle.” That I’ve hit this point again. Seems like yesterday. And yesterday and yesterday. I have the song, “Yesterday,” going through my mind, as I’m writing this. “YesterdayAll my troubles seemed so far awayNow it looks as though they’re here […]

The nice thing about crushes is that they end. After this wonderful, terrifying emotional roller coaster of angst, misery, and that all-too-necessary brain-frying oxytocin, it can slide to a gentle stop of bemused comfort. That’s the main difference, I think of crushes when you are 14, vs in your forties. That and the mute button. […]

Quote from my book: Hawthorne: “Master Track mentioned that, sometimes, you want the asshole to stick around.”She snorted.“It got me thinking about why. If it were me, I’d want someone honest.”“Honesty isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”“What?”Jules about pissed her pants, with his expression. “Think of it as a different version of garlic juice. […]

YAY!!!! MY CAR IS FIXED!!! Actually fixed. I found a new mechanic that is NOT interested in ripping me off. It’s amazing how nice it is to have a steering wheel I can trust and that I am *actually* supposed to be able to hear the radio over the sound of tires on pavement. Odd […]

Been a while since I’ve been on. I am forgiving myself for the DOH! moment. I’ve been really cranky this summer. Emotionally all over. Not surprising. Every time I think I’ve had something figured out, to make life stable, it blows. I am forgiving myself right at the moment for thinking I should have had […]
