I haven’t dreamt in quite awhile due to sleep problems. But the last week has been better. And now I’ve finally had a dream. For context, I listened to a podcast about what to ask your unconscio...

---

Goes on. Sometimes that is comforting. Sometimes it really isn’t. I would like for my own children to experience a slow, but very dear, childhood. I’ve gone a long way to providing that. And t...

---

Just finished this really cute sweater for Lexi. It’s the same front and back- so the shoulders are really not covered. Makes for more of a cozy outer layer sweater than the one I made previous. ...

---

I recently taught myself. Practicing on these baby/toddler socks that were my son’s and now fit my daughter. It’s more or less a sock again. Feels good to do things that create more life in othe...

are prisons. There is a neat side by side comparison on YouTube that I watched years ago (no I’m not going to find and link it, do you really think I have that much energy?) that featured public...

DH blitzed a deer last night. My poor car is totaled. I’m a little sad, in a sentimental way, just because it was the first car I ever bought - only car?!- and I have a ton of memories and shenan...

---

I’m still sad. I still feel melancholic. I am still down. But, I feel a lot better, today. DH and I had a pretty intense weekend. lol. It started out in crisis. Ended with sober and honest expre...

---

I’m taking a class by Lifeways. It’s supposed to be a social class but no one else joined yet. It just started today and goes for 3 weeks, so lots of time to see who will be joining. More or less...

---

I was young- how young I don’t know- I’ve had a melancholy overcome me in the autumn. I feel it now, if only in a far less intense, shadowy way. I was just thinking about the depths of depressio...

---

I was really attracted to Waldorf more for the philosophical aspects, but holy hell has it turned out to be a Godsend in my life. About 3? or 4 months ago I got more serious about putting in pla...

I thought that writing was a great way to get the usuless thoughts out of my brain so I could think more clearly. I still kinda think that. BIL and BM just announced they’re engaged to be married...

Is how I feel, I think. The last few nights have been more or less sleepless because we decided it was time for Lexi to move into her own bed. She’s not happy about that to say the least. W is a...

Business. I’m beyond ecstatic. Yesterday he brought up something about it, and we chatted. I won’t go into a lot of detail, but the topic was only tangentially related. He had a lot of risk-aver...

what to say to oblivious people. I was in my yard yesterday feeding rabbits, watching my son and wearing my daughter when I noticed one of those little rat dogs come into my yard. My dog ran ove...

going to shit, as expected. A giant storm came through Thursday and took out trees and power lines for our county. Yes, our whole county. 200k+ households out on just one power supplier(ours). We...

---

if this is too spicy… It doesn’t matter how moral or virtuous or pious you are- it only really matters how difficult it is for you to pursue those particular principles. So if you’re naturally u...

---

It’s a little funny that I recently have this appreciation, because for all my life I hated it. I should say, my parents and the authorities in my life hated it. They hated me. But, as an interna...

---

That just blew through was magical. I sort of used to wonder if the ecstasy of a good storm was all in my head. No one else seems to be very excited about them. I sense the storms coming and I lo...
