it seems like this place has gotten a little melodramatic as of late and i guess i’m going to decide to be okay with that. normally in life i would force myself to shift gears and sing and dance and fight a way to be entertaining. but, i feel like i am always, “on.” i [...]

too much

it’s just too much. i thought i could do this and learn some new skills, skills i really need to learn, but maybe not with this project. maybe with this project i’m supposed to learn to ask for help. it was easy enough to get people to help with making blocks, well, kind of easy. [...]

First things first. Open up another window, and go to Neil’s place and you can listen to the sounds of the season while you read my post about all things holiday. This is the second year Neil has hosted this. Isn’t it a great idea?
Finding myself a little bit more in the holiday [...]

I have a bunch of things to catch up on today. Including actual laundry. I’ll spare you photos of that.
First off, many, many thanks for the massive love you sent me yesterday on the war project. The MPR interview was like an early Christmas gift. I am humbled.

Sometimes you get what you ask for. Even when it’s not necessarily what you thought you meant. I wanted permission from the universe to be done with something. I said I would need a significant sign that I’m headed in the right direction to continue. S.F.D. I know it’s all good, but that doesn’t mean [...]

So, this blog is my safe place where I can whine about things I try to stay upbeat about on my other blog. Ok, not so much upbeat, as much as I just don’t like to express how utterly sad and overwhelmed I get about the war, and the project I have undertaken. [...]
