The curtains of Sunday opened with a trashing of rain and a rumble of thunder. With my body heavy and numb I intended to get up and move the AC unit safe from the inevitable lightning, but sleep kept taking me over and over again until I heard two sharp knocks at my door. I … Jatka lukemista Prayerkey

Saturday Noon. I am feeling the after-effects of our last nights' flight on my mind and my body, and they could not have come on a worse day, as today I was planning to write the student loan pardoning appeal, but I can hardly string two words together.

Early Monday hours, peace and contentment in my heart. A full year has passed since I rode Ilmari, the rust-red horse, and existed in a quantum superposition between becoming a birthing father and remaining childless. I still have the fertility clinic appointment coming up on the eighth of August, and I can smell the apples … Jatka lukemista Juneblood
