on holidays

on the surrender of symbols

I’m coming around. This has been hard. Harder on me than I’d expected, honestly. I expected to bounce back relatively quickly: I enjoy hotels, and after all the travel I’ve done I’m very comfortable in them. I’ve also been homeless (although not in many, many years), and I’ve traveled a great deal, so I’ve learned [...]

on priorities (and pie)

Ever wonder what you’d take with you if your house caught on fire? As it so happens, we just got the opportunity to find out. Yesterday afternoon we came home to discover that an unused oven in our utility room somehow began a fire. Luckily no one was hurt, but it’s been upsetting. Everything we [...]

Garrett’s project, Beyond The Light, received 102% funding on Kickstarter! The project closed on his birthday- and I think this was one of the nicest presents he could have received.  Thank you so, so much to everyone who helped to make this happen- to everyone who donated, to everyone who tweeted, or passed the message [...]

in which we are terribly sad

Inertia, aka “Pants”, our International Cat Of Mystery, died today. He just laid down to sleep and his heart went out, which is probably one of the nicest ways we can think of to die.   I already miss him, horribly. He joined our family as a kitten, while we were living in England. He [...]

    • I really like food & eating. I don't like nausea & puking. I like living without migraines a lot, though, so I took the 3 month acclimation. 1 hour ago
    • Topamax is an anti- seizure/ migraine med. The weight loss side effect is NOT A PLUS. It comes on fast, scary, and it is unpleasant. 1 hour ago
