oh, goodness. well -- i've been having mood troubles and sleep troubles and social troubles and a bit lately, but i've been taking hormones since december and it just occurred to me last night that they are hormones and they can do that, so i called my doctor to see what i should do. and hopefully we'll get that all sorted out. and -- oh! my folks've got a new cat. her name's basha and her fur's a beautiful patterned grey and her eyes are just so blue, blue. she's sort of a texture freak -- she likes rubbing her face against the edge of cardboard boxes, or running her paws over blankets and purr-purring, or rolling about with her back on the hardwood floor -- and she's just a silly dear. and -- a cute little teapot i'd been looking longingly at for a while went on sale. it's shaped like an owl. a cute little owl. :3 and i'm sad a lot, and weary a lot, and i have a real, honest, in-my-bones aches and pains -- but i did buy that teapot. and i saw this poem this morning and it made me think of you.

oh i love that song -- ! there's so much passion and exultation and even wholesome beauty in it. you are fantastic for referencing it.
