I love my home state, always have. In high Summer I love to stand in the empty spaces and feel the wind running horizon to horizon smelling of growing grass and earth and openness.

Way too damn much excitement for us, Mom and I have been sick since the thing happened, but we have go bags packed now and ( Read more... )

I've been home a month now and with a lot of rest and medication I feel able to go look for a part time job that I can do with one hand, like answering phones maybe. But. There is always a but, isn't there ( Read more... )

Have I been home nearly two weeks now? How the fuck did that happen ( Read more... )
