sainthood is fleeting
48 days and counting, almost 8 weeks. I have not learnt a new skill, mastered a new language, deep cleaned my apartment, gotten super fit etc. I have, cooked, eaten, slept, worked out and lived. Which is harder? People talk about grief and depression, I feel bad for them. I am sad, but not depressed, […]
Did my hair and make up today – look I know how to do eyeliner still! For my social distancing walk to Embarcadero! Watched a giant ship dwarf the bay bridge as it came in, and to show I am eating healthy my lovely breakfast of strawberries, blueberries, passion fruit, greek yogurt and a smidge […]

I kept feeling Badtzi around me last night, like he came back to take me with him, I miss my kitties so much, but him more than anything. He was so smart and so sweet. Maybe he misses me? And wants to come with him? It is the second death feeling I have had in […]
Today’s excursion, all the wildflowers are in bloom and although everything was grey, seeing the sea was immensely soothing. #shelterinplace2020 #sutrobaths #wildflowers https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3YeLfp43T/?igshid=1amb3k9l8sh5j
Funny how often I write about Pink Moon. The famous Nick Drake song. This year the pink moon will fall on what would have been my mom’s 73rd birthday. I miss her so much, still everyday. But, at the same time I am so glad she is not here experiencing this pandemic. I worry about […]
Time is fluid, I mean we all know that. It feels like yesterday I started Shelter In Place and last year both. This week was productive, cooking, baking, and cleaning. Plus work 🙂 This weekend alone I made: bread https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/bread-recipes/easy-homemade-bread/ and also Alison Roman’s: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1019152-salted-chocolate-chunk-shortbread-cookies. The cookies were great, they always are, but the bread […]
Yesterday’s walk. Practicing social distancing was easy as very few people were out. Which is eerie and reassuring at the same time. Spring is here. So many flowers and birds out. The birds were all a twitter, lovely to spend time watching them. #shelterinplace #fridayafternoon #sf #blossoms #birds #bay (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ktQbipUY6/?igshid=a1imt59raymb

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 […]
