Today the movers brought 2/3 of our stuff. The house is full of boxes and there's so much to do. We were tired by the end of the day, so we got pizza, relaxed, and now we're in bed. This week will be packed with unpacking. More updates coming soon.

DNFing a Best Seller for Racism
I was recently in the mood for a good horror novella or novel, and I saw "Nothing But Blackened Teeth" recommended. It sounded promising, so I gave it a try. I will start by saying that Cassandra Khaw's imagery is rich and her voice is lyrical. But when I write poems, I write them for … Continue reading DNFing a Best Seller for Racism
The Last Days of Summer
The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer
Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
We went to the same church as last week today. The pastor preached boldly from scripture about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. It makes me excited to go back. I emailed about getting involved with some volunteering. This weekend was lovely. We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me

I returned home early, however, because it poured on me, and I got drenched and uncomfortable. My raincoat is with the … Continue reading 1st Day
Nice Day
I had a lovely day. C forgot to bring something with him to work today, so he asked me to bring it in to him. I got to hang out in his office for a few minutes. He ended up not needing the stuff I brought him, but it was nice to get to see … Continue reading Nice Day
Little Updates
I drove by myself yesterday to go to my first appointment with my dr here. It went well, despite the fact it was pouring, and that made me an even bigger nervous wreck. The new medicine this Dr. put me on made me nauseous for a while, but other than that, it was a lovely … Continue reading Little Updates
Soaking in Femininity
Moving across the world is stressful. Missing my daughter, if only until August, is stressful. So is not having a car and so many other things right now. The stress has gotten to me. My husband does his best to keep stress off me, but it's impossible to move across the world and not feel … Continue reading Soaking in Femininity
Books Galore
Our kitchen stuff has arrived! We'll unpack this weekend. Happy 4th! Molly is settling in well. We hope to see the fireworks from our house. We'll see if that's possible. Yesterday I spent more than an hour on Kindle choosing book samples to download. I must have downloaded at least 30! Some samples I have … Continue reading Books Galore
