Magic in my Lap
Magic has been extra affectionate lately. She’ll climb into my lap and snuggle. Sometimes when things are quiet we can sit together for an hour or two. Soft, and warm, and peaceful.

Believing in Leprechauns
There are some very well meaning people that don’t believe in leprechauns. They are adamant that modern science precludes the existence of them along with fairies and vampires and dragons. Many go on to insist that since it is irrational to believe in these sorts of creatures that I should be forced to admit that…

Me and the Cats
Everyone is out of the house. I’ve done all my daily habits. I’m just listening to one of the cats meow and scratch the wall in the kitchen. There’s a little ambient house noise in the background. A ceiling fan overhead and the furnace below. But I can take a moment to listen to my…

Hard Living Catches Up

40 Degrees is Paradise
For the past two months it has been cold enough that I haven’t wanted to walk around outside. Today it was 40 degrees in the afternoon and we didn’t get rain like yesterday. So the whole family went for a walk to the convenience store about half a mile from the house. It wasn’t a…

Chickens go in, pies come out
My son has been reciting the script from Chicken Run. “Chickens go in, pies come out.” Have a pie. (SketchPad, finger painting) Chicken Pot Pie

Piles of Crap
Don’t worry I’m not going to complain about literal crap today though gods know I have too much of that too. Today I am concerned about all the cardboard that had been piling up in the house. We get a ton of deliveries and so have more cardboard boxes than a reasonable family should face.…
