They were paving i-10 in Boerne. All the exits were blocked. Traffic was backed up throughout the whole city. There was a line of 40 tar trucks all just sitting on the highway waiting and there was this bull dozer thing going around and oscillating the tar a bit in each truck trying to keep …

Sili and Cashew
i’ve been putting off writing about Sili and Cashew’s illness because it is still very raw. I began transitioning them back onto dry food last night and they’ve only been allowed outside for four days now. They’ve been off the coconut oil and pumpkin for two days.

Prayer Request

High Winds
The wind began around sundown. Great heaving gusts that threw themselves against the house and caused it to snap and creak with every thundering rush. The dogs went ape sh*t. They lost the plot and ended up under my feet howling like banshees as they eyed the windows worryingly. I brushed my teeth, turned the …
The Recent Series of Events that Should have Ended my Sanity
It began with the dryer. One day i returned home after a long day to do an evening load of laundry. On 45 minutes of sleep i was as usual just going through the motions of my life. I was on autopilot, wordlessly moving things about the one room house to get everything done in …
