at the mansion

For two weeks straight I’ve studied Spanish on duolingo, a 14 day streak!  That may be my record. I’m alone at the mansion while Ming hikes.  I ate Life cereal.  Read some mail. Our friend needs a place to live.  It’s getting down to the wire.  All his animals make it harder. Last night I… Read More »

illegal

This morning Ming is helping J with food boxes.  We will be home for a while.  We’re having lunch with our friend at 1:30. My friend Devan has a new song out, “illegal.”  It gave me the chills and gave me tears.  It’s beautiful. illegal by Devan Phenix

I slept great in the unfamiliar bed where… Read More »

Tonight’s our friend Vera’s… Read More »

There are tons of flies so we are going to start using the lounge door.  We did that last year too.  Ming got the broken fridge out of the lounge. Housesitting soon.  There are no animals, only plants.  The trash to take… Read More »

wink

The thread that was tied around my left wrist for Shivaratri in spring is loosening.  Ming’s fell off the other day. I’m so tired. Cooking for community lunch today.  Some eggplant J made is thawing on the stove.  So I’m just heating that and making salad, and some garlic lover’s pasta? Photocopied the new poetry… Read More »
