misia has posted a transcript of a speech she gave on April 28. No Pity. No Shame. No Silence. No Excuses. No More.
Yep, I Am That Geeky
I’m doing some filing, which involves dealing with the annoying file containers I have at the moment. I’m promising myself something more entertaining as a reward, though: Cataloging my needlework patterns and supplies. Yes, I am so geeky that I see that as a fun activity. As with our books, part of the joy is […]
Great Day

Poetry: Morning Glories
Morning Glories –Mary Oliver From White Pine Blue and dark-blue rose and deepest rose white and pink they are everywhere in the diligent cornfield rising and swaying in their reliable finery in the little fling of their bodies their gear and tackle all caught up in the cornstalks. the reaper’s story is the story of endless work of work careful […]
And Another Thing
(I broke one long entry up into several shorter ones since there wasn’t much to relate the items, anyway.) I got a catalog yesterday about “Zen at the Mountain Monastery.” I have no idea why I’m on the mailing list for a monastery in New York, but it was interesting. Katie was, of course, intrigued […]
DVDs/TV
I’m officially a CSI junkie. I’ve started turning on the TV in hopes of finding it on some channel. I’ll watch Law & Order if I can’t get CSI, but it’s a poor second. Next thing you know, I’ll actually be looking at the TV schedule. Or worse, putting CSI in the Replay’s programming. We’ve […]
A Day of Rest
And damn, did we need it! shadowkatt and I, that is. Now that we have three running vehicles again, we’ve been catching up with lots of things that were rescheduled during the transportation drought. The girl is tacking the bow tie onto her tap costume. We found an alterations place that is taking care of the […]
To Clarify
Last night’s entry is not an indicator of any drama happening. In fact, it’s part of warding off drama. If I don’t speak up about being tired of “talking about the relationship(s)” or whatever, I’ll eventually explode, and that WILL be dramatic. Yes, having two primaries requires far more communication, negotiation, and so on than having one. […]
I Am a Bad Poly Person
About all I had to say in our family therapy session tonight is that I’m tired of talking. I’m tired of serious conversations. I’m tired of planning projects. I’m tired of processing, interpreting, mirroring—all of it. I’m just tired. The next time someone says, “Communicate, communicate, communicate” to me, I’m all too likely to recommend that he […]
Quiet Monday
I’m snuggled up in the bed with a woozy shadowkatt and a sleeping Shelley. Shelley sleeps even more than most cats now, which probably isn’t that unusual for a cat who’ll be 16 in a few weeks. The girl woke up with a migraine today, so she won’t be going to dance today. She has to […]
