I think poly has taught me to stop judging a relationship's worth by its longevity. I have fully bought into the reason/season/lifetime philosophy, and am much better able to let a relationship transform or end when it needs to instead of clinging as long as possible.

It's been a classic PNW Juneuary! :D I'm loving the rain and coolness right now, because they're predicting that the rest of summer will be hotter than usual.

Yay, congratulations!! That's so exciting! :)

Love MOD Pizza! They're a Seattle-based company, and I not only enjoy the food but I also really feel good about their company values (they hire people who traditionally have a difficult time finding employment, such as felons, and pay a living wage). I think their iced tea flavors get...

I don't want to be on guard with someone I love. If I can't hold their hand, give them a quick kiss, lean my head on their shoulder in public, I'm going to feel very disconnected to them and the relationship will probably not be sustainable for me. I don't need masses of PDA, but I refuse to...

Yay! When I moved in with Fly, he had roommates and I just remember how free it felt when they moved out. We really grew as a couple in the space they left behind. Anyway, congrats on having your house to yourselves! :)

I can't believe it's been a year already! Happy birthday to Fern. :)

Worm food!

I love the rain, but I will lose my shit if it snows one more time this year. I am ALL DONE with that! It's light now when I drive to work in the morning, so that's exciting. :)

I made chicken and rice in my Instant Pot last night, SO GOOD! I'm kind of a kitchen gadget whore, but the IP is the best thing I've ever bought. Also, I'm ridiculously jelly of your kitchen remodel!

Oooohhhh, I have always wanted to visit Wolf Haven International in Tenino! If (when) I ever make it there, I'll have to remember your favorite Mexican restaurant :)

I love Bainbridge! The Bloedel Reserve (http://bloedelreserve.org) is gorgeous, and the Streamliner Diner (http://streamlinerdiner.com) is one of Moonlight's and my favorite restaurants. :)

No no no, the misty chill is WONDERFUL! We've had that super dry, really cold 20 degree weather for a couple of weeks now, and it completely dehydrated my skin. Chapped lips, flaky feet, it was miserable! I'm so incredibly happy that the moisture is back and we're up to a balmy 40 degrees! Of...

Yay! It sounds like you're really heading into a positive place. I'm so glad for you. :)

I've been doing my own taxes for the last 20 years, first with the hard copy forms you get at the library and then using H&R Block's free online filing. Easy peasy, even with things like student loans, inheritances, etc.

The college I go to emailed all the students to say that they will have on-call crisis counselors available Tuesday and Wednesday for students experiencing anxiety, distress, or stress regarding the election and/or its outcome. At first I laughed, but if the great orange one gets elected, who...

I'm so sorry, Mya. Sending love.

I went to high school with that guy. But I'd never vote for him. :)

Heh, I'm so covered in scratches all the time that Moonlight says I could turn her in for abuse and they'd believe me! Max is polydactyl, so his claws don't wear down properly and can be really sharp. Even when he's just loving on me, sometimes I get snagged. Stay safe these next couple of...

Lake Chelan is in Eastern Washington, about a 3 hour drive from Seattle. We go every October to buy apples from the orchards. I have two kitties. Twinkie is about 12 years old, and very sweet. She's my baby and doesn't really go outside unless I am out there. Max is 2.5, and a holy terror! I...
