I can drive down the hill and see the bay and the islands on my way to the grocery store, or the Canadian Coastal mountains ahead of me and Mount Fricken Baker on my right when I go to the mall. Five minutes from the house there's a leafy cliffside drive with an everchanging view of a succession of bays and islands. Or I can walk down to the end of the street, cross the road, and walk around the lake. Even if it's a day I don't get off the couch, just knowing all that's just on the other side of my front door makes me happy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The cafe downstairs puts aside a cupcake brownie with fudge icing for me every week so I can get two per week. They've even written my name on it.
That's great.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy-making things: How one of our dogs looks operatically miserable from walking in the rain and the other (a poodle) looks totally chipper, even though all his curly hair hangs in his face.

ita, I'm so sorry.
What Maria said.
Separately, I hope the tow-truck folks get it together soon.
I am wearing boots, if that helps.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am wearing safety shoes.
Things that make me happy: awesome tv, my snugglepup, good food, Nora and Tom for neighbors, the crazy morning show on the local hip hop station, my neighborhood.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Damn it, ita, that's horrible. I'm sorry.
Things that make me happy: TJ's Just Turkey slices, my new phone's enormous freaking screen (ciao, Apple, it's not me, it's you), seeing my aged relatives this weekend, my dog, which I just accidentally typed god, which is what those things WANT you to think.
Oh, and the just-completed series of Doctor who.

ita, I've been through this with my mom twice and it is just SO DAMN HARD. Until you know what is happening, it is nothing but waiting and worrying. I wish a good prognosis and strength to you and your family.
