Time is a slippery thing. I am less and less able to measure it. It's been a week since I held the soft length of Oli's body: first with life it, and then glassy eyed, without breath.

I went hiking yesterday, and I swear I felt him in the light. His lil spirit, in the light. I'm tryna take care: cooking; walking; reading; writing letters; etc. I've got eight classes ending all at once and there is. so much. grading. If I do things swiftly enough, though, I'll get a month off for winter break. It is so needed.

Today I spent several hours in bed with coffee and books and essays and mariah by my side. gorgeous breakfast. did a nice play time with her. Ganna hit up the post office for some stamps and go do work. My favorite coffee shop is open til midnight tonight. Here's what I need to do:

Hello good people! Things have happened. Namely, my ex-husband came and spent a few days with Oli & myself. I'm still processing that. What a ride this life is.

Feeling Ready to Go today, after having spent yesterday in bed with the cats. Did house stuff: dishwasher; cleaned kitchen; took out trash; folded and hung laundry; did some light cleaning. Opened course modules and responded to alllla the emails; checked bank account & transferred money into second account to set aside for Oli's transition. Below is my grading list. It won't all get done today, but I'll do my best to get done what I can. Ganna shower; do a kitchen dance session; maybbbbbe get a walk in. Hoping to at least be able to watch the second half of the Chief's game tonight.

I'm trying.
