I hope your Memorial Day weekend was exactly what you needed it to be, from a military remembrance perspective, a political perspective, and a personal perspective. And if you're also currently in the throes of the final days of the school year, good luck to you. Stay sane! Before my little story of the day,… Continue reading Appearances and Sightings

Obvs I’m Ready for Great British Bake Off
The last few weeks I have been waking up to new horrible things every morning on the news. Since this shitshow of diminishing human rights and authoritarian regime flouting of the rule of law is clearly ramping up, standing against it in any way is a marathon. A disheartening, depressing, infuriating marathon. Losing heart and… Continue reading Obvs I’m Ready for Great British Bake Off
It’s SPRING!
I'm behind on my Spring Equinox post, so I hope yours was excellent. I had a weekend of crazy-walking-adventure in New York followed by a couple days of work and second weekend of crazy-presenting-adventure at Paganicon. My panel went really well, and I had a blast, and I now have a firm topic for the… Continue reading It’s SPRING!
A Little Adventure in NYC
Oldest of the horde is off galavanting in Greece for spring break with band and orchestra, so the horde twins and I went to Manhattan to visit my aunt and uncle. I’ve visited a few times over the decades, but it was the first time for the twins, and we made up for lost time.… Continue reading A Little Adventure in NYC
Sunday…Resting?
fAngus approved this post. I'm back to work full time as of last week (although only because I don't have to sit in an office chair full time. I tried that for two of my eight hour days and paid dearly for the rest of the week). Yesterday was a full day of show choir… Continue reading Sunday…Resting?
I Shouldn’t Be Allowed on Amazon.
Six years ago, I bought what I thought was small bag of Frankincense incense from Amazon. What arrived was a ONE POUND bag of incense resin. Essentially I bought enough for a church because a one pound bag of incense lasts a long time. Over six years, as it turns out: I still have at… Continue reading I Shouldn’t Be Allowed on Amazon.
The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2
In the scheme of all my life, the last couple of months will be little more than a blip of unpleasant time in an otherwise pretty decent year. I had to wait until I was off the heavy pain meds to write this update: apologies for the delay. So, for those who need a recap:… Continue reading The Yeeting of 2024 and Round 2
fAngus Holiday Joy
The Horde put the tree up last weekend. fAngus is pleased. Aah, sparkly bed. I see you taking pictures, human servant. I will tolerate it. I’m done paying attention to you now. You may go. May your holiday season be as colorful and chill as fAngus’s. If SAD affects you, the countdown is on: only… Continue reading fAngus Holiday Joy
The Skein Of Your Life
This post is full of random bits of recent life, including art provided by SK, who found a calligrapher to create this gorgeous piece out of one of my favorite movie quotes (from The 13th Warrior), which he then had framed for our anniversary. The text reads: The All-Father wove the skein of your life… Continue reading The Skein Of Your Life
Witchy Wednesday: Stress Self Care
So it's been a couple of stressful weeks, and I don't just mean my own medical stuff. Today is a good time to remind you that everyone has stressful scary awful stuff going on at any given time, and it's valid. It's not a contest: the stuff in my life doesn't diminish whatever is causing… Continue reading Witchy Wednesday: Stress Self Care
