Just a matter of survival…

Sara

August. Ish. We finally have our access road back. Mostly. There’s still a big torn-up mess all around it, but our dirt hill exit has been obliterated and we have fresh asphalt, curbs, and retaining wall. The house is still being violently shaken at all waking hours of the day, however. BUT they have opened a long closed intersection and a whole new service road that didn’t previously exist so there are two new ways… Keep reading…Just a matter of survival…

Here come the rising tide…

Sara

We had a record breaking four days straight of eighty-some degree weather. Today it’s forty degrees colder with rain and tomorrow we’re supposed to get anywhere between two and six inches of snow. We’ve been under a Red Flag fire weather watch for most of the week, but I think that has been negated for the time being with this rain. Every river in the area is under a flood warning as they are rapidly… Keep reading…Here come the rising tide…

Lack of motivation…

Sara

February. Week 46. My brain is complete mush. No-no, more than usual. I spent most of January battling shitty insomnia until my body said FUCK THIS SHIT and knocked me down hard. But a forced hard reset seems to have shifted my sleep back into something almost resembling that of a normal human, so…I guess I’ll take it while it lasts. The same thing happened at the beginning of last year, but it gradually slipped… Keep reading…Lack of motivation…

The suffering of fools…

In other news… I was reading something that referenced a song by The Killers and it got me thinking about the handful of songs they have on the Drive List… Keep reading…The suffering of fools…

Disconnected function…

Sara

A few weeks back, I had a whole list of things in my head that I wanted to write about. And then… Nothin’. Par for the course.   Listing…   1.) We finally bought a humidifier for the bedroom. It felt like the air got super dry super fast when the weather turned cold this season, and if last winter taught me anything, turbinate reduction is great for BREATHING, but not so much for maintaining… Keep reading…Disconnected function…

Caught in a one-way street…

Sara

I didn’t make a single post in the month of May and we’re already approaching the end of June. Generally in the long stretches between posts, I start, revisit, abandon, and/or delete half a dozen drafts trying to come up with something to write that doesn’t make me want to bang my head against the wall. This time around… I don’t think I even really opened WordPress. I’ve barely been writing anything. I started this… Keep reading…Caught in a one-way street…
