Era of Kara

Our patio is full of ancient, creepy yard animals. Meet Ghost Cat and Ghost Poodle.

Ghost Cat used to have a wasp nest in him.

I’m stuck, rotating my wheels in worry. Hoping for word of change, but I’m also realizing that it may not happen.

That said, and to combat worrying myself stupid, here’s the latest list of Good Things.

• I’m healthy, my pet-babies are healthy, my friends and family are all healthy.

• I do not want for anything. Well, anything incredibly important, anyway.

• I am in what may be the best relationship of my life.

• I feel emotionally stronger than ever. Yes, despite all the wheel-rotating.

• My bf and one of my best friends conspired to throw me a surprise birthday party. Friends poured out to drink and eat pizza. Afterward, I went to see my favorite local band, and I danced until I was sweaty and oh-so-happy.

• Oh yeah, and my birthday isn’t even here yet, so there’s more time for revelry, bitches.

Mucca Pazza at the Double Door. Danced ‘til I was gasping.

Me: (talking about my friend’s craft blog)

Mom: You do crafts?

Me: … yeah. Constantly. You know, all the knitting and stained glass and whatnot?

Mom: Oh. I’ve always thought of that as art.
