http://refgoddess.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
What the Cat Dragged In. A compilation of observations, jottings, and haiku. Monday, February 23, 2015. Why am I still here? The other day I heard from my friend DH. She's been visiting her son in Florida and is seriously considering selling her Portland house and moving eastward. She was calling me to hear just how difficult it was to leave my home and friends of 30 years. What, she said again, was it like to leave Portland? Is this where I'm meant to be?

He still thinks I'm lonely and seeking, and he does not like being a port in the storm.

What the Cat Dragged In. A compilation of observations, jottings, and haiku. Sunday, March 22, 2015. In fact, I wonder if I really do miss the physical connection? Was it because my normal day was spent cooking and eating and doing crosswords? E at 99 was more active than I at 55. I was virtually with them, and it felt great, but.lonely. Did it follow me from the campus? What is it trying to tell me? There was nothing in the box. Not orange or black, but dusty maroon. It was so difficult to just sit for ...

What the Cat Dragged In. A compilation of observations, jottings, and haiku. Saturday, May 16, 2015. A Six plans her Third Act. For the past few weeks, for the past few months, I've been sick and exhausted. As I sat and coughed, I started questioning, again, the way I was living my life. I did the math, again, and realized that I can stop my 40-hour work week right now if I want to. But what do I want to do instead? Now, I'm cashing in the house, and I'm suddenly thinking: should I cash in the rest?

What the Cat Dragged In. A compilation of observations, jottings, and haiku. Saturday, May 31, 2014. For the past two years, I've gone to Ghost Ranch for my birthday. Last year was a solo excursion: I was two months past the divorce and one year past the move from Portland; I was trying to figure things out. I just re-read the blog I wrote about that. It was eloquent with pain and full of retrospection. A few months ago I met with Mollie to discuss my ongoing frustration with my lack of productivity.

What the Cat Dragged In. A compilation of observations, jottings, and haiku. Sunday, May 10, 2015. Of aggressive grosbeaks through. I miss the magpies and the ravens: my visitors seem to mainly be finches and grosbeaks, with a smattering of doves. These don't seem to have any messages for me, not like the portentous raven or sly, cheeky magpie. I either caught a new cold. Or renewed the last. What does it mean that I cannot breathe deeply without expelling the breath in a violent cough? I also wonder wha...

Martha's Musings: Glass, Art, Life. New Year, New Scarf. Well, multiple scarves actually, and all knit on glass needles. As the semester drew to a close, I finished off the Noro striped scarf, and here is a picture as promised.
