Thank you all for your condolences. It's so comforting to have a community of support when things are hard…. # Paddled in glassy waters under a sky full of stars. So quiet & dark. So much bigger than me. Now: sunrise. # Just told Catgirl abt Madge's death: "she had an epic charm bracelet–it made [...]
Back in the days when I was dating, nearly every Halloween I started a new relationship. I didn’t actually realize that pattern until years later, when I was connecting the dots in my photo album. I’d see me in a costume and then realize that was the night that I met “so-and-so.” Was it just [...]
Last year in October I dyed some sections of my hair neon purple. There was no particular reason for me to have purple hair, it just seemed like something worth trying. I was curious if it wold affect the way people interacted with me and/or the way I felt about myself. As far as I [...]
Quite some time ago, I wrote about my shoulders on my blog, and about the various scars/scar tissue that I’ve struggled with over the years. My left shoulder, especially, gives me a lot of discomfort due to the old scars and the memories that it seems to hold in the muscle fibers. Occasionally when I’m [...]
Tonite’s post finds me snuggled in on the couch. I’m sneezy right now, and my glands are swollen. That’s probably far more than you wanted to know about me, but this post is going to have a bit more TMI than my usual, so I thought I’d just get warmed-up from the get-go…. For quite [...]

I really really really want to write a long blogpost about my experiences from this past week and my meetings with scholars in NorCal. But…. I am home. And I just need to be home for a few hours. And… I have so much work calling my name, it might be a few days before [...]
Heading down for a much-needed swim & hottub soak. #wha2010 # Converted a whole slew of Western historians to @Zotero during the Digital Methods Workshop.

It was hard for me to tweet this weekend for a variety of reasons, one of those being that I misplaced my phone charger cord (ack!), and another being that I was participating in an “unconference” called THATCamp Bay Area that required a great deal of attentiveness. But probably the most significant reason that I [...]
Sandra takes E, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Our Toby kitty is ill again. We are holding out hope that her latest med cocktail might help her feel normal again, but also know that her condition does seem to be worsening over time… It’s hard to be far away while she’s so ill. It’s hurts to [...]

Does anyone else want to offer their advice for #THATCamp newbies? # I'm so moved by this. Hugs to all of #IMUA #outrigger [...]
Have you ever used crutches? If so, you know just how cumbersome they can be. If you’re not actually walking with them at the moment, they’re either underfoot tripping someone or they’re leaning against a wall and in an inconvenient space. They’re also pretty hard to stow in most compact cars. One of the things [...]
