Death, be not proud (Holy Sonnet 10) By John Donne Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou are not so; For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, Much…

Thursday – I can’t get no sleep
I feel a little like that Faithless song “I can’t get no sleep”, it has been a recurring theme the last few weeks, not enough sleep! I know last night was triggered by visiting a co-worker in the hospital, and it bought back the feelings of my mom. My co-worker will be fine, but you…
Pink Moon
So Friday was supposed to be a pink moon, and that meant that all day I had the Nick Drake song running through my head: “ Saw it written and I saw it sayPink moon is on its wayAnd none of you stand so tallPink moon gonna get ye allAnd it’s a pink moonHey it’s…
Almost a year
It has been almost a year since my mom died, it feels so unreal still. I know I shouldn’t but I still question the choices I made last year, nothing I can do to change them, but they run through my head, all the ‘what ifs’. Not productive. Still trying to sort out her estate…
Last Week or So
So Wednesday night was the show here in SF I was most excited for PopTone! And they did not fail to deliver. I loved every moment of the show. I did not catch the opening band as I stood outside in line to get in for over 20 minutes, which seems weird, as it was…
Thursday 5 January 2017
So today I thought my bus driver was training for le petit le mans – zooming up the hills here in SF, and squealing around corners, pretty exciting. Also today is not national bubble bath day, like I thought, it is the 8th of January. Woops. Though other important things I am sure are happening…
2017
I can’t think of a catchy title for my post. Back at work in SF today, and it is gray and cold and rainy. Not awful though, just not happy, happy joy joy. Today at work was a lot of cleaning up and tracking people down and setting up meetings and dealing with things to…
2017
2017 can you believe it? 2017 didn’t come in like a lion or a lamb, 2017 came in on a cold, rainy night, filled with wind and sorrow. At least that is how it felt. I watched the stars, I saw the clouds, I lost the stars and I felt the chill enter the land….
A week and a day
I have been in San Francisco a week and a day tonight. Â And what a month the last month has been. Â Firstly I got two jobs in July. Â One was an internship helping a community manager at a code school. Â It was unpaid, but an interesting insight into what a community manager does and does…
Happy Sorta Birthday USA
This last weekend has been quiet, as I have been alone a lot which is super nice and peaceful. Â I also got some stuff done on the house, which required a trip to Ikea on Sunday – wow, now I remember why I go during the week. Anyway, Rick my wonderful handyman, came by…
Welcome To A Weird Place For Me
So I handed in my two weeks notice at my job. I do not have another job. I actually am unsure what to do, but though I like my boss, I like my co-workers, the job is not for me. A few years ago I would have stayed, kept at it, tried to fit in…
Trying…
Sleeping the last few nights has been rough. It was easier to deal with Hana-Cat dying as I had, had time to prepare, I knew he was sick, I knew he would not get better. Badtz was so sudden it has blindsided me. One visit to the vet and then next time he was gone….
Cat
So in the last few days I have noticed Badtzi peeing on the floor, which is unusual for him, he is a fastidious kitty who does not make a mess, and then I noticed he was not eating, just drinking lots of water and licking up the gravy on his food. None of this boded…
WTF
So the last few months have been really unsettling, as in my normally quiet neighborhood has had a lot going on. I had some friends stay with me, for a month, Black had just gotten out of hospital and needed a place to stay and his girlfriend Tina was going to stay as well to…
Goodbye Hana Cat
So yesterday I worked from home, my excuse was I slept late, but really I wanted to stay at home and keep an eye on Hana who the last few weeks has been acting stranger, tireder. I did keep an eye on him, and by the time he threw up for the 3 or 4…
