A Time for Rest

It's dark in Minnesota most of the time* these days. The sun comes up after 7:30am and sets by 4:30pm as we roll toward the winter solstice this weekend. Today is weirdly warm: everything is melting and rainy out, which seems odd and ominous. Not because of global warming, necessarily, although that's an overriding issue,… Continue reading A Time for Rest

Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

This isn't porn, if that's what you searched for to get this blog post. Five years ago I finished radiation, which marked me as clear of breast cancer active treatment. It would've been an exciting day had I not been exhausted: I probably napped. You can read about it in the Thus Ends Frankenboob blog… Continue reading Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

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.

Please note how she refuses to look AT me, because I'm telling her to get the hell off my spot so I can work. FYI, there's a second chair she could've used. It’s a running joke… Continue reading Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.

Nighmares At The Museum…Or, Ways To Feel Lucky I’m Still Alive

This isn't a real post: it's a bunch of pics from our trip to the Houston Museum of Natural Science for my birthday (because the MAGNA CARTA was there, people, and nothing makes my geeky medieval heart beat quite as fast as a piece of parchment that was written in 1217).  After I stopped drooling… Continue reading Nighmares At The Museum…Or, Ways To Feel Lucky I’m Still Alive

Just a little NICE to pass around. Go ahead and call me Pollyanna. Unless you’re not old enough to know who I’m talking about…Sigh.

While not-working this afternoon (it's slow here this week) I found THIS act of sneaky goodness via the Huffington Post. Never let it be said, I guess, that the HuffPo only reports crap news. I adore random acts of generosity. Both my husband and I enjoy the anonymity of giving that way: it's not about getting thanks or about having… Continue reading Just a little NICE to pass around.

Life is HARD.

For my dogs. Which I typed as "gods" by accident once during this post. Also, life is apparently exhausting: Exhausting to the point of looking dead:
