…and after the weekend, it has been quite anticlimactic so far.  Joe phoned Jeff and they spoke just long enough for things to be awkward and then Jeff had to get back to work.  They have arrangement for another conversation tonight.  I’ve done my part and other than any further questions Joe has or connection [...]

The past few days have been quite a ride.  I feel like it has been a power crash course called Relationships 303. No, it’s not like that at all.  I feel like I’m getting a DEGREE in relationships and that I’m having to take all of the required courses at once with power crash courses [...]

It  is quite hot on the mountain, more than I am comfortable being in, anyway.  I’d say it’s in the mid-80′s or so.  Interesting.  NOAA claims it’s currently 93 in Grizzly Flats.  I should not have looked.  Poor fat little JoBu is stretched out panting on the floor.  That’s one dog who could seriously benefit [...]

I have never felt so lazy and unmotivated in my entire life.  I have never in my life doubted why my tribal ancestors had a hut at the edge of the village where menstruating women could go and think and growl and sleep and basically be separated from the rest of humankind.  I cannot even [...]

I can’t believe I had to turn on the heater this morning.  It’s the day after Summer Solstice and it was 62 degrees in the house.  I should be so lucky every year. Last night, Eric reminded me that on Summer Solstice last year, we had a series of lightning strikes in California that set [...]

Remember in the big post I talked about miracles?  Delena and I worked hard cleaning 2 of the sheds out back today so that they are neat and orderly.  In the process, I went through the Fountain Graveyard in the Witchy Shed.  I have a knack for finding nice table top fountains at yard sale [...]

Thank you so much for letting me whine and fuss and feel persecuted and beat on the ground a bit last night.  I usually do not allow myself that kind of indulgence. I feel so much better today, having purged all of that frustration.  Last night, I felt like every avenue was blocked, maliciously even! [...]

I hate feeling punished for being poor.  Being poor is hard enough without having to suffer the slings and arrows of corporate fuckery.  As those of you who follow my misdirected life through this journal know, each year, I attempt to go to the General Hospital Fan Club weekend in July, held in the L.A. [...]

Greetings. The “Stone Soup” (see previous entry) that was Grizzly Flats Founder’s Day came together beautifully. I could not have asked for better weather, happier (or more) people, a kinder, sweeter, more jovial atmosphere or for even one thing to happen that didn’t or one thing not to happen that did. It was perfect. After [...]
