Mrphf.

I moved. Well, aside from 300+ pounds of books and some other miscellany, I’ve moved. So if you had my address before, you don’t have it now. I don’t have much, at least by way of household things, but I’m working on it. And I’m hoping to have dishes and stuff soon.
But I’m riding the [...]

What comes of good customer service

Many of you know I work in retail, namely in a department store somewhere between Macy’s and JCPenney’s. Not totally upscale, but not super cheap, either. Some days are much busier than others. On the days that are less busy, I’m able to provide somewhat “better” (by that I mean more focused, detailed, attentive) customer [...]

Close to Home

I know that many people know about the California fires, but I want to share a photo from a friend’s land very near the Buckweed fire. She has evacuated her animals (including three horses), and has been evacuated twice, but is home now for the time.

Raven

She hides behind moonlight, skating between silvery shadows to quiet midnight corners. The thing with feathers, black as evermore, gentle rustle of windswept wings on a starless breeze.
She eludes me in my waking, arriving — as I slumber — on the waves of beta and delta. Her song takes me deeper, in the rain, [...]

Finding Home

Today I received an invoice from Poets and Writers, because they gave me a really great deal on a subscription, and Raven decided to get it for me. So I filled out the info, Raven wrote the check, and now it’s waiting for a stamp and it will be in the post tomorrow.
It’s got me [...]

Over a Month

It’s now August, in the dead of summer, when everything else seems to be fading away. It’s been over a month since I posted, and I have had many good intentions (and saved drafts) meant for expressing my present places.
A year ago, I was packed to leave Washington, the home of my heart, the landscape [...]

Shameless Mommy Photo

This is Franklin, the older of our two kittens (by roughly seven weeks), on the day Mommy Willow baked a whole, organic, Farmer’s Market chicken — by hirself. It was a flashback experience, really.
