I fed raccoons.  Shoveled gravel.  Fed raccoons.  Mopped and swept the floors. Fed raccoons. Washed the dishes.  Fed raccoons.  Broke down and washed out cages.  Fed raccoons.  Shoveled and raked and carted more gravel to expand the driveway.  Fed raccoons. Fed a tiny Eastern bluebird... or grackle... we're not certain, really.  With an eyedropper. Every fifteen minutes.  Fed raccoons.  Fed possums.  Fed raccoons.  Fed bunnies.  Fed possums.

I try to go day by day right now.  I've so much to do, so much going on.  Working on clothing and jewelry designs, including ones I can potentially sell.  Taking pictures.  LARP and CoA and KoL and Radio KoL.  Cooking and cleaning.  In other words, life.

I'm getting out more again, which is a good thing.  Meeting people. Taking pictures.  Being me.  Day by day.  It's sometimes the onl ]]> http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/For-My-Mother-310519989 http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/For-My-Mother-310519989 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 21:26:21 PDT For My Mother nonadult journals/personal Windthin http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/i/windthin.png?1 Copyright 2012-2013 *Windthin
My mother is an amazing woman. Not was. Is. She has touched so many lives. Most of the pictures here are from the small wake and birthday party (she would have been 60 on the 28th) we held for her afterwards on Sunday. Friends and family attended and several spoke, myself included, about our memories of her. She is dead, but she is not gone. The pictures and words in this gallery stand testament to that: http://windthin.deviantart.com/gallery/ ]]> http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/My-Mother-309780600 http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/My-Mother-309780600 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:45:32 PDT My Mother nonadult journals/personal Windthin http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/i/windthin.png?1 Copyright 2012-2013 *Windthin

Last Tuesday I learend that this is a struggle she is going to lose.  The doctors have told her she won't live beyond this summer or fall.  My mother will or would be sixty in late June.  She was born in 1952, the Year of the Dragon, the same as myself (76).  And now I am trying to figure out how to say good-bye, even as I keep hoping for some miracle, for some mistake discovered or new treatment or second chance.  And I have no idea how to say good-bye.  I suppose we all have to l ]]> http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/In-Memory-of-Patrick-Spillane-291230301 http://windthin.deviantart.com/journal/In-Memory-of-Patrick-Spillane-291230301 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:37:01 PDT In Memory of Patrick Spillane nonadult journals/personal Windthin http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/i/windthin.png?1 Copyright 2012-2013 *Windthin
To give you a little background, I donate plasma twice a week.  It helps a lot of people, and you're paid for it, and we surely need the money these days.  I'd just donated, and toward the end the machine went a bit wrong so they couldn't give me my blood back.  Could that be why I was a bit more whimsical than usual?  Probably not. I've always been given to follow my curiosity.

And purely on a whim I decided to hop off of the bus earlier than I normally would and do a little more walking.  It was a beautiful, bright, warm day out, so why not?
