This morning I see my new endocrinologist. I’m trying not to be anxious. Either she’s good and will listen to me and work with me, or maybe I don’t need an endocrinologist? I’m mostly done with being abused by doctors. I don’t want to stick with anyone who will fat shame me. Diets don’t work,… Read More »

freedom
I wanted to tell you some things and was writing a blog post in my head while I made pasta and cooked mushrooms and sauce. Then I forgot all of it. Last night I was laughing in bed about the idea and phrase “pants substitute.” You know I like to write these little six word… Read More »

pirate friends
Is it ok to pretend to be pirates? Pirates are a real thing, right? I feel like there are real pirates, and then there are the idea of pirates like in Peter Pan. Hopefully I’m not exploiting anybody by letting my friend put a skull handkerchief on my head. And letting Ming take a picture.

I’ve been looking for rubies for the emotional first aid kits I’m making. I heard rubies are grounding yet energizing. Sounds good. Also they are very… Read More »
A long time ago, when I lived in Sacramento and worked in the gardens at the Vedanta Society there, Swami hated morning glories. “Take out those morning glories,” he’d say when I was weeding. I felt like they were sweet. So cute and cheerful. With their pale round flowers and fine vines. But I could… Read More »

I want to learn how to make paper. I like to make little books as gifts, and it would be cool if I didn’t have to buy the paper. Going home has a different energy than outgoing trip excitement. Going home can feel like work. But the drive is beautiful. I’m blessed to come from… Read More »

special horse day
Today Ming rode a horse for the first time. I’m feeling like a good spouse for helping him fulfil a lifelong dream. He wasn’t scared and did great. They rode a trail by a waterfall and could see the ocean at times, from the mountain area. It’s up a canyon I had never been up… Read More »
