I dreamt I was on campus looking for a film class. I was carrying Mr. Bates, my huge cat, in my arms. He was tolerating it but I didn’t know how long he would let me hold him. I couldn’t remember where the class was, which building. It was dark. I went into one building […]

You know what I’m over? Things not working. Just when I was getting the hang of posting from my phone, the app started to glitch out … it won’t upload photos. And because the app is on my phone and not on the computer or on-line, I can’t rescue the writing I did. Back to […]
I have been camping more this year than any I can remember, not because I love it so much but because it seems to be the only thing to do these days. And because Casey is so into it right now. I wouldn’t need a job if I had a dollar for every time I’ve […]
This morning I snuck onto social media for a hot second because Lonny informed me that a friend of mine in Australia is pregnant. This is the ONLY thing I miss about SM, having access to this kind of news. So I logged on and saw the announcement and a picture of her lovely belly […]
It has been a busy few days, I feel like I’ve hardly been home … wherever that is. I got back from my trip to Durango in time to spend the night with the boys and see them off the next morning to go camping with Lonny, his sister (Karen) and her husband (Sparrel), and […]
Caitlin and I used to walk together almost every day, now I feel like I hardly see her. I was so happy when she suggested we take the dogs for a walk today, after she took a self-portrait. I’ve been lucky enough to accompany her on her self-portrait forays, offering my services as dog wrangler […]
*I found this in my drafts today. I’m not sure why I didn’t post it, perhaps it got lost in the shuffle. I think I wrote it on Oct 19, 2019. Days before I met David, still drowning in grief. Enjoy, or whatever you feel when you read something like this. I talk to MPT […]
Back in my 20s I had a really good friend who would go to Durango all the time. I never went with her but I pressed her to tell me what was worth the 7 hour drive. She never quite got through to me. Suffice to say, I think Durango is great. In fact, I […]
I am headed to Durango with BF for a few days. We are stopping in Grand Junction to have lunch with my dear Marcia whose health has taken a turn for the worse. I’m not ready to talk about it yet but suffice to say I will be spending as much time with her as […]
I dreamt I was on my way to a concert on foot. It was the winter and I was wearing a green coat I bought for college. The sidewalk was covered with snow and I had a lid or something to sled on. It was transcendently fun. I slid past people and then came upon […]
