hold me like you mean it - "Janis Joplin" for me - loud pulling from a deep tap(tap)root up through my feet to my ass stirring my root up my spine and out the top of my head
I did not get my little wish.
I lasted not even 1 song's worth. It took way longer to find parking than it did to walk the fuck outa there. 5 minutes wasn't much time for even a tiny wish to manifest, but, just No.
Poor Sunshine in her fishnet and thigh boots wasted on me. Though she had her pal Tabitha (theoretical dd) and could have stayed, she followed me right back out the door. In the freezing cold with no pants and on 4" heels, she trotted after me. The golumpki came in handy yet again to make it up to the girl who grew up down the street from the Polish Nook, and the extra tray I was going to freeze became dinner at midnight. It was lucky food.
While the dd (the only one who drank 🙄) snored on JonHamm, we watched 3000 Years of Longing, which I had never heard of and was dubious but I owed her a good time. And she was right, I loved the film. OMG my mom would loooove love love it. I wish I could rewatch it with her today.
I am not sure that what my little heart desires even exists in this world anymore, Ma.
Tuesday I will go to court with Sunshine. Folks shouldn't have to do that alone. Then we are coming back here to make a new batch of butter. All of the jars we made at the start of the summer are gone except for one. I used them all on myself alone, rubbing it all over me every day as my skin, like my hair, healed from the drastic loss-changes. I got the last jar out of storage yesterday.
So, seems perfect timing to make more, that particular day. Counter-court and all related "reasonable" impingements on soul-wishes dickbutter.
Today, in this house, with which the children instantly and forever fell in love, I will make soup for Ears, who is still terribly sick despite being told he's fine. Note: be very wary of being told "you'll be / you're fine" in every context - anyone who says that to you might not be trustworthy at all.
Kitchen witchery is strong here. All childish heart magic, including what is left of mine. And I bring it out intentionally, every cabinet reachable by a little person opens to art supplies, nooks and crannies filled with little delights. (Re)building in this unlikely pocket of place, salvaging all I can of the broken as precious raw material.
wishes - slow leaves for you (maybe you will meet a djinn)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not only have you survived enormously stressful circumstances, but sometimes you've chosen them on purpose. It was out of duty, or to answer a calling — but now it's because the hard things have taught you that you can do anything.

.. while inside my head spin thoughts I would tell no living soul
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you see someone who is obviously trying too hard, it will feel compassionate to help them out. You'll smile and listen, making them feel less nervous. Pause and let silence do its part in creating a calm social pace.
(snort)
Sunshine talked me into this
and now that it's today, of course no part of me wants to goshe bought a new dress
(hellll nooooooo lol omg)so I will be standing somewhere apart, maybe wearing the stupid long underwear, somebody will say something to me ("I love your hair" 99% likely, my undyed hair somehow shocking in America [and reg ol' tits, etc, like virgin soil ft ancient lands 🤣]). I'll be silent and feel bad about being like me (walled off) and SOBER god help me and they will keep talking. (Sigh.) Or maybe I will have "compassion" and offer my opinion that everyone should really stop shaving their armpits / be more French. Or maybe I'll get really lucky and it'll be yet another person with a nacrotic lung (!) to investigate 🙏, hope springs eternal.
meanwhile, pancakes, the kids need fuel for the living room dance battle going on hour 2 ....

disco - tiny horse released today.
welp next year is practically here, and meanwhile I got the kids back, my dog fetid pile
a breath of 💞02
(finally)
so despite having to schedule a paw biopsy for Dball (🤯💔) and a brief pointless freak out over nacrotic lungs, I didn't choke anyone out
or demand it
and everyone lived happily ever status quo
creatures in heaven - glass animals Bug always brings me a song
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like most smart, thoughtful people, you notice that some of what drifts through your mind is not accurate, helpful... or even yours! Today, there will be some benefit to an action taken unthinkingly. Heed instinct, and even impulse.
Steam just whistled out the top of my head. What if I stopped being so "reasonable"? Acted on my own instincts, maybe even implulses.
Right now, from just in front of my ear down my jawline is locked (gritted), down my throat (slammed shut, wanting a cigarette). Why am I chock full of restraint?
Is that locked jaw even mine? I am on my 1st cup of coffee, so why do I feel on my feet and sick of juggling shit already? Whose restraint is this? And if it's not mine, why am I handcuffed by it? (Not in a good way.)
sanity: 100%
status: alive
personality: (fill in the blank as you see fit)
There is a wall of glass in front of me. What is "real" is being curated. I can feel it, somehow someway, it's there. Tap tap, is this shit bulletproof?

it's felt like a call almost twice kinda day, all day, for no reason I can name / put my finger on
I won't call even once, of course, unless I was dying. no, even then, not unless someone else (more important) were dying
why?
I don't know why. because it's not my line to cross, if I had to say
it was a solid day, for me, objectively. my friend came over, he will build me bookshelves though he doesn't like not tearing down the walls to insulate, so we had to discuss my still often painful existential state, which I argued supercedes any practicality god damn it (if I have to be reasonable one more time so help me) because I need reasons to embrace the day I am in much more than I need lower heat bills, so I need books around me now for one thing, I need it to be now Craig, imperfect is fine, and moreover, I need something for my unspent mental and physical energy before I supernova - do you have any idea how many jokes I have not told in this horrible hamster wheel of sadtime? the loss to my personhood is incalculable - so I need a shed and a fence imminently because none of us are professors as we were, and unlike everybody around me, my professional identity is kinda it cz my personal life is well I. don't. have. one., so I'm "someone's mom" which is lovely while also setting the bar at being vertical (insert jerk off italian hand gestures anywhere btw), and I want a fucking shed more than I want insulation twatever, I want to rip a living soul into being or some shit, so let me be of service to pollinators for the love of. Like this. "Oh, I can build that for you no sweat, and could probably do at least a back fence." And that was it. Existential sand in my vagina noted. Answer: woodwork.
Sometimes men are okay. He sure didn't want me to keep talking hahahaha and he can't just fuck me so thank god there are chores hahahaha.
Then I took Ears to the Misfits Xmas Market and we both went wild. He got this hat that looks like my eyeball and a punisher looking skull mug. I got 2 rare, as in I have never seen the like, spell candles. Gnarly ones. "Fear is excitement without breathing" type shit. And I met this crazy couple who grow/sell chakra oriented weed (comes with tea), and she can add reiki. I am down with alllllll of that. Yes. Feel better. I want it.
Interesting note: They're out of throat chakra. Sold out all the time. I wonder if people know they're holding feeling with their throat fists? They have wondered the same thing.
Then Ears 'n I hit The Steer for rib eyes. And continued to talk about how to exist. Of all the "sorts" of people that feel like mine, the self-marginalizing are def some of my folk. And his. And we pay for it, as everyone pays / is paying for something (half to death sometimes). I don't know why I felt 😭 half of today. I saw my therapist during one of my morning cries, when I know something bad but can't say what it is. She wasn't phased. Again, diagnosis: sane. There are guzzillion reasonable reasons to cry.
What would happen if I couldn't be reasonable, if that broke? Could I break (free of) it?

| can you believe that shit? status alive, wow. she gets it already. |
Tomorrow, first sleepover. They're getting every present as just stuff here, like xmas installment one. I need more than one this year. I think I'm owed at least 2-3 that aren't
like this.
prizefighter - mumford & sons February 13th - same date (give or take) - the rest of the LP will drop including a track with Chris, whose gritty growl has sung me through the darkness so many times. Whatever that song is will be the soundtrack for the end of the "whens" I set out to get, what seems like another lifetime ago.
