Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

And he has a kid whose ages are close to my kids' ages.

I want him to be here because then maybe we'd see you (and your parents!) more.

Hah! That's exactly what I told him about a west coast thing- I'd see him every TG no matter what when I'd visit my friends! (eta: it'd mean me getting to get more peoples in less travels which is a big thing for me. OTOH, you'd get my brother!)

If he ended up here, I think my parent might take a detour to the east coast for a bit. It is post-doc-ing, however. Not permanent.

In any case, wherever he lands, his biggest concern is school districts for D. He starts kinder this year.

Um, so despite the fact it is 11:30 at night, I have no kids, T-the neighborgirl brought me flowers in a pot. To wish me a happy mother's day.

I think I'm gonna go cry now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Punishingly Intricate

If you come visit, I'll help you!

As if I needed more incentive!

aww that's so sweet, sarameg! The lady at the CVS said "Happy Mother's Day" to me and I was okay with that. Usually that kind of thing would Bring Up Issues for me.

Practically my only moment of yoga triumph to date.

It's a good one! My yoga triumphs have been being able to do headstand and full wheel and I just recently have been able to do full wheel without first propping myself up on my head and then pushing up. I can just push up into it now.

addidas yoga shoes

They are going to be planted in my boxes on the balcony tomorrow.

I'm just floored, really.
