Apparently Gish forgets I have a blog.
So I have to make myself more compelling.
Look! A baby!
Here is Hannah, giving somber looks because she was intent on pushing the big button to shut down the computer. And Ian said sternly, “Hannah, No!” And she knew what he meant. The first time, she looked at him with [...]
I had a bad night, but a good day.
Last night, trying to fall asleep, I had a spasm in my shoulder that kept twinging and waking me up. I finally jumped up and stormed downstairs for a big round of self-pity and mersyndol sometime after midnight. Though I thought, as I took the mersyndol, ‘taking [...]
I can’t remember if we’ve already had this conversation. Google says we maybe haven’t?
Anyhow, was thinking about marriage and feminism today. There was this time when I said to Ian how I had been thinking that, normally, when the radfems call marriage a form of prostitution, I think, “how hysterical,” but that I had come [...]
I am afflicted with the inability to be curt with well-meaning religious types. Or. I don’t know. Once I had no problem with saying firmly, “I’m not interested, thank you,” and closing the door.

But then I was looking at it and it seemed to me like, here was a perfect list that just encapsulates exactly who and where I am right now.
So it becomes a blog post:
My Christmas List
Unlined blank books or sketch books
Watercolor pencils [...]
I have taken the day off. I did not think that I would probably be in dire need of a day off just six or seven weeks after going back to work. My work, while sometimes high-pressure, has not really been burn-out-y for me.
I can’t say so for all people, because I know some of [...]
After putting Hannah down, I went to bed at ten minutes to eight last night. Ian put the older two kids to bed at eight, but I was already asleep enough that I don’t recall him bringing Rachel up to bed.
It was good. What a good idea.
Except then, I woke up at 11, when Ian [...]
