I have been totally neglectful over here because so much STUFF has been going on. While usually “stuff” translates to “quick! Run to the blog and document it all” this time there has been so much stuff that there has not been a moment to catch up. Which is why I am neglecting my groaning [...]

We have a rocking chair that makes appropriate creaky stretches with each arc of a rock. The chair was in storage but it is now sitting right next to me. The “new” house is full of fantastic nearly 100 year old creaks. Every step in the house is a sound and after a day or [...]

Still not quite there in the head-space to write/share stuff about Millie. I can say that she has, I suppose for lack of a better word, stabilized. But it is still not good. I imagine things won’t be good again. And my feelings about everything are at odds with absolutes that I have embraced for [...]
