OK, this may seem like a nonsequiter, but please go directly and read the most awesome About blog page I’ve ever seen. I just happened on it three minutes ago. I am ROTFLMAO, it is just so so wonderful. No, I did not know my daughter had a dream to be a blogger like me.

So. Personally? Watching someone go through heroin withdrawal feels really, really horrible. But it’s not nearly as bad, I may positively state, as going through heroin withdrawal. There’s not much I can do in this case except speak kindly to this person and listen to this person thrash and whimper and sob. So that’s what I do. Then I come home and make an incense offering and dedicate a prayer to this person.
Today was a lovely Sunday.
Nels slept in and finally woke only the second time his BFF came to our door (to hear the BFF’s parents describe it, weekend mornings the boy is scratching at the door like a mad dog wanting to come over). He and this little guy run around the neighborhood, getting fed at our house and getting up to I’m not sure what at the other house. I hear them laughing and see them coming down the sunny walk together, absolutely on top of the world.
Besides some family time and two meetings, I performed housework and had coffee with Ralph. I tried to make an orange candle and failed (it’s still sitting on my counter all soggy and misshappen). Ralph, Phoenix and I went to Tully’s where I was pleased to see they’d finally jumped on the Awesomesauce of Salted Carmel coffee drinks.
Phoenix educated us on Lyme Disease.
We visited the Gallery and their new show – “ReUse • ReCycle • ReArt”. It was even almost warm for half a second. The sun was out and that felt good.
I spent much of today sewing (yay!), but cannot post pictures (boo!) as they are slated for publication in a real magazine (yay!). Good news: I have my new snap press which I get to play with, and I am slowly marching my way through my magazine requirements. P.S. when it comes to stitchery WANT FOUR YARDS kthx. What a lovely fabric; and the album referenced (one I was raised on) was exactly what first came to mind.

Nels had taken to calling me Honeycomb. As in, “I love you, my honeycomb” [*kiss*]. Several times a day. He comes up to me and puts rings on my finger. Those little clippy ones for hanging curtains.
It was a beautiful day.
Honeycomb?!? Oh my gosh – I so totally heart this!
I went through what I have been calling the ‘scary pile’ tonight – the pile of unfiled paperwork that has built up for over two years – and found the most lovely handmade cards from my two youngest – made me want to grab my youngest and smooch on him – but that is not allowed at the moment – he has decreed this recently – too old for smoochfests 🙁
So I shall delight in your smooches and recall mine with sweet fondness <3
@Kate a.k.a. The Secret Goddess
That need for so much smoochyness has made me adopt too many cats and is also currently manifesting as a strong desire for another little one. Ha.
Thank you for your comment, and I’d love to see a snapshot of homemade cards!
What a girl you have! lovely to read, powerful too.
@Josh
Thank you! And – nice to see you again!
