    Back From New York and Sorry for the Delay…

    So the day after we got back from New York was the start of school for my girls- and so life got REALLY busy, really fast. And I got sick. Probably Covid, thought the home test was negative. And then I got better. And then I got sick again (that I’m currently on antibiotics for and muscling through) with walking pneumonia. And an ear infection. AND a tonsil infection.

    Lets be VERY clear- I totally would have eaten it during the Spanish influenza; I’m so susceptible to secondary pneumonia after I get sick. So is my oldest. And so was my mom. Maybe it’s linked to that middle name Catherine we all share… who knows. But anyway it is super not fun.

    As I used to say to Lucas about the passage of time: after having kids it sure is just one quick sprint to the grave!

    And sure, that’s a little on the nose (what am I, the Oracle of Delphi up in this bitch?!), but I MEANT it to convey how time seems to speed up and you blink and then you turn around and the kids are grown and so are you. So… yeah.

    Random Pics and Too Many Memes I Collected Like Seashells to Show You

    Let’s go light with it this week- mostly because that was pulling from the depths and staying vulnerable last time… and also I have, like, so many memes. I also will just jump from pic to pic ahead of the memes and hopefully an image of the last few weeks comes through. There are no pics of the rain, but there has been lots of rain too.

    Rain and Home

    You ever have a period of your life where everything and nothing has happened? Like I feel busy and enchanted by wonder around me and so much has happened and yet were someone to ask me about these last few weeks… what would I say? That I saw some fireflies and that one crazy streak of lightning last week?

    It’s all very odd. And I guess that makes sense for internal mind shift stuff.

    You Never See Me in The Club? Well I Never See You on the Cliffs.

    Had my second anniversary with the ghost husband since his passing, (22nd in total) this week.

    I have come real far, y’all.

    And just… do you know the strength it takes to not be miserly in pouring light back into your own life? You have to really ignore moderation to do it, I’ll tell you that. Takes some real fucking dedication to self.
