She's back in ICU, apparently having had a hard time breathing last night. She's on some kind of half-way ventilator and they still don't know what's wrong, other than that it's not rejection. I am going to St. Louis today. I can't live with second guessing anymore. If anyone wants to call, Jeff has the … Continue reading …

Out of ICU
Jasmine is out of ICU and back on her regular ward. The doctors still haven't shared with us what the problem is -- though they may not know yet. At any rate, if they've moved her out to the floor, it's because she's out of any immediate danger. More confirmation from the doctors today that … Continue reading Out of ICU
Dragonfly Wings
Jasmine is back in the hospital in ICU. This time was BAD. Last night at about 2 I felt like I needed to come check on her. This was after she had slept for two days straight. My hands started tingling and I knew I needed to come out and touch her. As soon as … Continue reading Dragonfly Wings
Just Me and My Shadow
So part of my problem is that I'm simultaneously excited about going back to Arizona and sad about leaving Bloomington. My friend Rowan, who made this move almost two years ago, tells me that's just the way it's going to be -- yucky. I really don't like that answer. 😉 I'm anticipating the community building … Continue reading Just Me and My Shadow
Angst
Delivering the news of my move has forced me to face the issue of my impact on others. See, I like to think that when I leave places, whether it be for a short while or a long while, it doesn't really matter to anyone. I don't want to assume that I mean as much … Continue reading Angst
The St. Louis Epiphany
I keep saying I'm going to write about this move thing, and it keeps getting pushed back. I do have some legitimate reasons, mostly pertaining to Jasmine being in the hospital in St. Louis with Jeff, while I'm here in Bloomington with Nina and Gabrielle. That Jeff and Jasmine are again in St. Louis while … Continue reading The St. Louis Epiphany
WTF?!
A few months ago I said we would stay in Bloomington until I was absolutely sure it was time to go. This week I had that moment of clarity when I was absolutely sure it is time to go. We won't get up and move out next week, but I think we'll be leaving after … Continue reading WTF?!
Fuzzy Wuzzy
On vacation... in Arizona... with friends and family. I can't believe I'm even thinking of this, but we are considering a move back if things don't work out in Bloomington. Have to find out many things first, mainly whether Jasmine could be cared for here. I'm in such a fuzzy state. I need to get … Continue reading Fuzzy Wuzzy
Get a Little Warm in My Heart as I Think of Winter
This morning I spoke about my Winter Solstice practices at the UU. Here is what I said: Good morning. When you woke up this morning, did you have a chore that required you to step outside for a moment? Maybe you picked the paper up off your front porch, or let your dog out or … Continue reading Get a Little Warm in My Heart as I Think of Winter
Awwww….
So yesterday was my birthday. My coven and my family (Jeff and the girls) got together and threw me a party/ritual and then we went out to drink. Part of the birthday ceremony included the giving of gifts, which were accompanied by words of thanks for the gifts I give to my community. It was … Continue reading Awwww….
