These days I’ve been feeling harried, harangued, hassled, overwhelmed. I’m not sure which way is up or down some moments, and other times I can’t even begin to comprehend my tasks (of which there have been many lately).
I want to move. I want to pack all my things into boxes and drive them some [...]

Wiggly Pops and Snuffle Pips

It’s cold here, very cold. Sitting in front of a window which leaks with the thermostat set at 63 degrees, even two blankets and a computer can’t warm me up. It was a long, tedious day at work, on my feet for most of the 9.5 hours I was there. I spent my first day [...]
The Time Has Come

The Walrus and the Carpenter (scroll down to Sunday)
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright —
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the [...]
Something More

I find myself looking … At lakes, at trees, at screens, at cats, at yarn, at life … Looking for something, an answer, a clue, a reason.
I eat dark chocolate M&M’s because I don’t like milk. These were purchased for my locker at work, for when I need a pick-me-up on those eight-hour days, but [...]
I don’t know this one, but …

You’re A Prayer for Owen Meany!
by John Irving
Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire
faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest
this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking
moment, and you prepare with great detail for destiny fulfilled. When [...]

Watching Amadeus with Raven and wanting to be writing, writing, writing, and knitting while resting my feet after a long day of working in heels.

Sunset on the Ferry

In December, I traveled to Washington state, to gather my belongings from a storage unit on the Olympic Peninsula. The day before we left to drive home, I crossed the Puget Sound on the ferry with my best friend (and traveling companion), Raven. Shi captured this photograph.

Even the independent, leavemealone orI’llbite cats have started climbing onto the sofa for warmth during the day … Hovering above the AC adaptor to my laptop for extra heat while squishing their bodies between the pillow and myself. I am wrapped inside a blanket, my legs tucked beneath me on the couch as I absorb [...]
New Beginnings
Posted in Writing on January 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
If it hadn’t been for Mrs. Dalloway, shi might not have gotten up this morning. It is to be a day of new beginnings, of looking forward and making change for the best, and shi was afraid to get out of bed. After a weekend of grey-white-snowy-dull days, the sun was shining into the window, [...]
