Celebration on a stick

While some seasons are determined by a groundhog, the sun and when it sets, or something as arbitrary as a school year, today marks the first day of summer pour moi. The smell of my deodorant (calendula with hops) just made me thirsty. No pants. No stockinged feet. Plans to go places just for the getting there. Our neighbours, in bonnets and caps, are naked again. The house is nearly full, but always empty. Ah, but maybe not yet. Maybe not quite yet. My feet are still dry.

Expect/accept magic

If things turn out like this, that's okay. If they turn out better, even better.

(Only my mom reads this, but just in case someone else does (not that my mom isn't the most perfect audience, though I can't write about all the really hard and terribly addictive drugs that I do...) then I should write a reminder about our house show here tomorrow at 8 or so)

Lingering showers

Tonight I will lie in bed with the cat, open the window, and finish The Winter of our Discontent.

Add insult to injury

I prefer short books. 150-200 pages will do. If not because the words in them seem more carefully chosen, then at least because when I'm moving them, if they fall on my toes, they won't cause terrible throbbing and a small (but impressive) dollop of blood.

Tick tock

I lifted out the ladder and brought it to the big clock that had been lying to me all week. 2, it said--from the minute I started work 'til when I finished--2. We gave it a new battery and I carried it back up the ladder and attached it to the wall and waited looking at it for 3 minutes to see if a minute would go by. It didn't. We threw out the clock.

Here here

Here-
I go again.
Here I go again.
Here I go.

I'm going to get there.
I'm going-
to get there.

Koala
To see a koala in your dream, represents your link the physical world, the unconscious, and the spiritual realm. The koala also symbolizes security, nurturance, protection, and/or feminine qualities. You may be expressing a desire to regress back into infantile dependence and escape from your daily responsibilities/problems.
