This morning I started going through some of the writing I did this summer that I never got around to finishing or posting. Because that is WAY more fun than laundry and unpacking. (I shoved all the piles into Simon’s old room and closed the door. It is Simon’s OLD … Continue reading
i’m shellshocked. happy, sad, laughing and crying. all. at. once. i feel just a weensy bit crazy. crawling out from under the piles and trying to comfort simon who is expressing his sibling abandonment by following me around crying ALL DAY LONG. really, he just brought me a picture of … Continue reading
Taido posting today… I had another post sort of set and ready to go, but it was way too colored by the sense of incompleteness I’m feeling in being separated from Alison for two weeks. While I’m certain you would have loved insight into what has sometimes been described as … Continue reading
