Finding quality objects is difficult.
So, with the recent sale of Ruffhaus and my shift to a BART-commuting lifestyle, I find myself in the market for two distinct objects. Both of them are proving stupidly elusive. Any recommendations would be welcome.
1) Backpack.
My current *tiny* backpack is a Sherpani Access LE. It's the perfect size (mostly) - it carries a small lunch, my wallet, ( Read more... ) -
Dreamwidth! Hit me up.
Yup, shifted to DreamWidth! I'm morleyroarly.dreamwidth.org. Please find/add me if you want to keep up on all things geology / mama / navel-gazing / construction related. I'll crosspost to LJ for a while yet. -
Farewell, Ruffhaus
Ruffhaus has been sold! We closed escrow last Friday. I dropped off the keys and said one last farewell to downtown Oakland. I cried a little as I said farewell - listening to my shoes echo on the stairs one last time, flipping the gold-star lightswitch in the bedroom, looking out over the depth of the cityscape and watching the people and cars go ( Read more... ) -
DreamWidth?
Show of hands - who among you is considering / would consider a move to Dreamwidth? I gather from lilamp that it's the new cool thing because LJ's servers are in Russia.
Hassle of moving all my back archive aside, I'm curious if anyone I know would actually use it / comment / share / etc. -

The last two nights I have picked up Eleanor she has cycled from excited to see me (10 sec.) to wailing and sobbing (30 sec to 5 min) to insisting on a snack or another ride on the slide (2 to 10 min) to ( Read more... ) -
It's been a while.
Anyone still out there?
Debating kicking this back into gear. -
Walking through the pain.
Feets. Still battling them. Yes. They are still attached to my legs, still have five toes each, and still hurt like a motherfucker if I stand/walk for more than about 5 minutes at a stretch.
I have been battling plantars fasciitis (inflammation of my heel & arch muscles) for almost a year. I've been on "no walking, no standing, ice and stretching ( Read more... ) -
Twice around the lake is the new once around the lake.
The first intersection is the most dangerous. Cross Traffic Does Not Stop, and couples out walking their tiny city dogs are eager to weave their way home for dinner ( Read more... ) -
On healing.
This year has so far consisted mainly of two things: getting married (coming up in November) and regaining my health. Nobody really wants to hear about the travails of developing a guest list and picking out bridesmaids dresses, so instead I'll talk about my path through healing ( Read more... )
