On Tuesday afternoon @5pm, I started down the stairs to go to the shop downstairs to do my 5pm reading. I didn't make it. I think I was on the second step down when I literally put my foot down onto nothing but air, and pitched sideways in such a fashion as to tumble down the entire set of stairs all the way down to the bottom ( Read more... )

I finally have plans to get to the shore this year. Friends of mine know that I need to get to the ocean at least once a year in order to feel connected, grounded, sane.

I just went to have some leftover rice and before heating it up I thought I would loosen it from the bottom of the container (it was all glopped together in the bottom) so I went to shake it and the entire thing exploded rice and beans and corn all over me. Apparently ED, who was the last one to have any, didn't put the LID on tight. He didn't ( Read more... )

I went to bed around midnight last night, which is a good three hours earlier than normal. And this morning I woke up at the usual time, feeling much better..... and having had another of my famous wild dreams. This one is such a doozy, there are so many symbolic elements even while it is a story unto itself..... I looked up a bunch of stuff in ( Read more... )
