The weekly column here that's a little chatty and personal so you can get to know me and my creative weird sometimes silly sometimes mundane little brain ...
Thanks! I actually haven’t moved much myself. I tend to find home and then stay there for a long time. This will only be my seventh place in my entire life. Two as a kid. Two different houses on the same property in Arizona as an adult. Two apartments in the 18 years I’ve lived in San Francisco.
This week. Hmmm. I am so unsure how or if to share medical news, and although most everyone in this thread is new to me, this does feel like community. So my true things are a swirl of needing support, wanting to be alone, resentment, grief, denial, gratitude, joy in life and living…that’s close to everything.
Above everything is the love and support of two dear friends who are too far away to be with but who are always here for me.
What’s true for me today is that my life is is changing and I’m not sure in which direction things will go. I feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz when she awakens in her bedroom, only to look out the bedroom window to see a vortex of good and bad flying past her as she gasps, or calls out names.
My life is on the tip of of making several changes. I’m not sure exactly how, what, or when. So I sit not quite ready to take action, but wanting to move forward in some areas, while taking a cautious move ahead in others.
It’s a time to prayer for clarity. What does my future hold.
Lovely read. They are so adorable
Thanks, I love those pups so much.
I bet you do. They deserve all your attention. I love to have one. My mom and wife don't allow it 😒
Aw it's hard when the family doesn't agree.
You are right.
The other day I wrote:
"I just took a nap
under a pile of
my family’s laundry.
It’s a lot of laundry.
I was very tired."
I relate to a whole bunch of your feelings this week, Kathryn.

Great post, Kathryn.
So you got approved for the new place? Congrats! May the move be as pleasant and smooth as possible
Yes!! We are so excited. Moving later this month.
Good luck with the move! I have spent much of my life moving house and I know how tough it can be!

I hope you can stay in the new place for a while, in that case. Since I was 12,the longest time I have lived in one place has been four years.

Sending all the love your way. So sorry for what you’re going through.
Happy Bumiversary!

Sending positive feelings for finding that clarity.
