I think I'm about ready for August to be over. The fact that it's already November boggles my mind. What did I do with two months worth of time? Where did it all go? I guess I'm writing this to find out in addition to continue my efforts towards accountability (how's that for vague). I... Continue Reading →
Depression, Anxiety, and Impossible Tasks
Hi there, it's me. I know it's been awhile, over four months, in fact. I thought about apologizing, but I think I've done that before after my other long blogging hiatuses.

Different Crows
[Note: still having difficulty uploading photos. I'll try again in the next few days] I have a special love of crows. I love their intelligence. I love their family dynamics.

Thirteenth
[Note: Having trouble uploading the pics for this post. I'll try to add them later] Today is my thirteenth day in Australia. It's the thirteenth of seventy-five days of summer, the thirteenth of seventy-five days to spend with my person, the thirteenth day of waking up and realizing I did it. I left the cozy...
