- Constant renewal (committing to myself, my writing, my priorities) even while the world around me is going to sleep, dying off for the winter ahead.
- But I also love to hibernate. Wintering is renewal.
- The mother of a nine year old. I still hang onto every detail of his birth. But the years in between are a blur.
- Ice skating amongst the lights, by ourselves, magical. Ice skating is my ketamine infusion.
- The cat has suddenly become afraid of the downstairs. This has caused Levi to become afraid of the downstairs. None of it makes any sense.
- Covid took away my appetite. Now the things I used to love and look forward to–plan my life around even–are nothing to me. In fact, worse than nothing, food and drink makes me feel sick.
- Snow! Finally!
- Friends, sleds, hot chocolate, cold hands and feet.
- I need to learn Spanish. At least the basics. Two months until I head to Spain.
- Missed my first morning of the 5am club, but that’s okay. Tomorrow is another day, as they say….
- Losing my job / this job search thing is the height of practicing patience. I’m terrible at it. The uncertain future is making me lose my mind.
