the move
I'm in the middle of making the move from Typepad to Wordpress, so if things get a little wonky here, you'll know why, right? If you're still reading me using a Typepad address, you might want to change your links... Continue reading

I think your art teacher might have boon on to something, there- there is definitely something about growing more comfortable in my new career in a stereotypically feminine field, and in my growing love of domesticity that seems to dovetail with my sudden shift towards pinks. In really learning that one can be a feminist AND make choices that fit within some old- world stereotypes I've come to embrace things that I rejected before, thinking that loving them was weakness. Aprons and pinks and baking and skirts don't make me any less independent or strong. How funny to think that I'd fallen into that thinking- that one- track, rigid mindset- which is another form of oppression.

Oh, you're absolutely right about the once- a- year thing; just like fiddleheads, the rarity makes it a sort of marker for the year.

"We're all terminal," he tells me. For a moment I think it's an incredibly callous thing to say to someone in my position, but the moment passes. There is a comfort in someone, anyone, being honest and direct about these... Continue reading

and more waiting
It's been a series of ups and downs; first Sam was doing well, then not- so- well, then well again. We're still in what I'm coming to think of as "the well zone" and I'm cautiously optimistic; the doctors have... Continue reading

potential
The pressure in Sam's head seems to be dropping; we will get confirmation tomorrow. He seemed much better today- doc said maybe he can come home this weekend. That's it. Just feeling a lot more hopeful tonight. - s. Continue reading

There's no written list this week- my Monday spun out of control too early to make one. The morning was fine- Kiddo was pleasant and cheerful, the weather was crisp and promising, the coffee just right. We got her to the train station just fine. There were no mangoes at Wawa for breakfast, but th...

Thank you, Fran. I'm quietly working on the assumption that is rather must get better- right? Not that I want to say that too loudly.
