When I was but a wee teenager I had a crush on an older boy who lived down the street. Of course, he didn’t return those feelings, he was… older! A whole 4 years older! I’m not going to call him out by name for his privacy, so I’ll just call him “he”. He and […]
Read More Love never stopsGood morning! It’s going to be such a lovely day. I’ve been wandering in my tangle of a “garden” in my backyard, counting cucumbers and watermelons, (no pumpkins that I can see, yet) and picking fire ants off of my ankles. Most of my backyard is planted with various flowers and plants to nurture pollinators, […]
Read More Dragonflies, Dirt, Finger-Paint, and PollywogsHa! I’m feeling so good today, so I thought I’d sit down and do up a blog post. But now that I’m sitting here, laptop on lap, blog page open and “ADD TITLE” staring me in the face, I have no clue what to blog about! I just did my third ketamine session, and even […]
Read More Ketamine DreamsOK, just so’s ya know I’m still working on the Hello Butterfly Farm. We have a website in the works, hellobutterflyfarm.blog, but the rest of it is slow going, made all the slower by a lack of funds, (but I’m working on that, too). The first thing I have to do is get the biz […]
Read More Still Fighting…I don’t believe it will come as a shock to anyone that this pandemic has put a damper on my already dampened spirits. As an immunocompromised person, (drugs for an auto-immune thing) I’m warned frequently to stay home, even tho I’m vaccinated, even tho I wear a mask anytime I go anywhere, and even tho […]
Read More Shall We Begin Our Adventure Now?I’ve been watching VEEP and I freaking LOVE it! My favorite character is Richard Splett. The humor in that character is so subtle, yet US! I’ve been making lots of jelly, jams, and tomorrow I’m trying my hand at marmalade. Oddly, I’m on a low carb “lifestyle” (ok, I’m on a low carb diet) and […]
Read More Some Stuff…So here’s the deal: I hurt. Pretty much 24/7, on some level, I hurt. Sometimes it’s not much, and I can get the basics done. Sometimes I can’t even bend down to pull my socks on. So just be active! Get some exercise! Sure! I could do that. Only here’s the deal: the more active […]
Read More SometimesOh my! Feels like I’ve been in that chrysalis for way too long! But it feels like the long night, (forgive the mixed metaphors) is finally coming to an end. A couple of weeks ago James and I returned from a 2 week long escapade in southern Wyoming. A recent wildfire had scared the landscape […]
Read More Becoming…Ok, so here it is. The thyroid cancer was not more than what I call a “nuisance”. It made me tired, a little weak, and I had some weird symptoms, but it has never made me terribly sick. But I’m not myself, and I haven’t been in a long time. Most of the time I […]
