Wow, I've been away for what seems like forever.  Life has kind of run away with me and I've forgotten to step back and take a moment to write.  It's interesting how life can sometimes get.  It's actually kind of crazy. So what have I been up to?  Counseling has been interesti...

Okay, because you always need some cheering up...here's some pictures from the show on Saturday.  I know it's kind of vain to put pictures of myself up because I know it will make someone else smile, but I know you will, because that's just who you are.  I'll have a video soon too, as s...

Today was my first session.  We kind of went through the standard questions, why I was there, what I hoped to accomplish, etc.  My therapist is a little concerned that I don't remember most of my childhood.  She didn't seem to realize how serious I was about being "afraid of e...

Someone mentioned to me once how knitting gives them a connection to all those spinning dieties over time.  They talk about them spinning their fibers and delicately weaving them into fabrics.  Knitting was simply a revival of all those myths of days gone by, a connection to the women w...

I don't know what makes me think I can do this if I can't even write an entry every day for a month, but I've taken up the 52 Pair Challenge.  As of the new year, I'm going to have to make 52 pairs of socks.  Yes, that's a pair every week.  That means I…

...finally... I've got my first appointment with a counselor in two weeks.  I know, I know, it's about damn time.  I've just been too afraid to do it.  It's sad when you're too stressed to get help with your stress.  Anyhow, soon now.  Two weeks.  I'm somehow going t...

There was a brush fire that got out of control today.  Supposedly it was a controlled burn, but it got so close to our house.  The fire was put out all of six feet from our back fence.  The flames, when they got there, were raising easily seven or eight feet in the air.  The&h...

I went to visit Cwellan recently.  He's doing pretty well for himself.  He's made a dream into a reality, and for that I'm happy for him.  It's incredible when you see your vision come together. Recently he found the perfect land to build his community.  He found 1.23 acres of...

So Dmitri messaged me this morning.  He was asking why I was talking about housemates.  I guess he didn't get the memo.  I'm separated and living with someone else right now.  I wonder how much he actually knows and how much I've just filled in for him.  I'm kind of nervo...

I wish you knew him.  I wish you could feel the way I light up when he arrives.  I wish you could know how excited I am when he shows up at an event that I didn't expect to see him at, or the disappointment when he isn't there when I expect him to be. …
