from the window of my office in the studio

That’s all.

in which there is an ending, a beginning, and a new adventure

The news is true: The Sanguine Gryphon is disbanding. In January 2012, Cephalopod Yarns is beginning. I’m spending tonight caught between two places, in limbo between 2.5 years of hard work and a future of new adventures. I don’t know what to say tonight. This is hard, because it is both an end and a [...]

the 40th list of very good things

Outside of it being freakishly lovely outside, and more than a little hectic inside, no major catastrophes. I should probably knock on wood now, but I’m not going to, because I’m a risk-taker and I live life on the edge. ON THE EDGE, I tell you.

on working from home

I’m working from my bed today, which isn’t as awesome or fun as you’d think it might be. A creeping migraine put me to bed early last night. I made it to my evening yoga class, which did seem to help some- and weirdly, being so inwardly focused seemed to push me to do better [...]

I leave them alone for one afternoon…

And this is what I come home to. (I love my job.)

    • 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
