There’s no denying it’s beautiful here. I went for a drive along the Pacific coast with a friend in his VW Thing yesterday. The goal was to end up at a beach where they release baby turtles. We did find it and paid the 60 pesos each to help (that’s about $5). The problem was […]

Dear Shannon,
By Caitlin Jane in loveI know I talk to you every day but today is big: it’s your 40th birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate with me. I’d have made you a cake and hugged you carefully and kissed you a lot. I’d lean in and inhale your ears and beard and feel safe and loved. I […]

Bad Endings
By Caitlin Jane in friends, loveThis is all I’m going to write about the last 2 months. A long time ago, 6 years, when I first got back together with Shannon, a lot of people weren’t terribly thrilled.

It’s still Wednesday

Moving on
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, daily grind, loveShannon and I moved on December 1. We actually traded spaces with a cooperative circus school, we went from about 3,500 square feet to about 1,000 square feet and the transition has been difficult and cathartic. We got rid of mountains of stuff, not only ours but furniture from the woman who had our old […]

England, part 2, the tourist
By Caitlin Jane in haha, love, we have funThe truth of the trip is that we mostly did family stuff. It has been 7 years since my last visit and 20 years for my sister.

Leaving.
By Caitlin Jane in caitlin's crap, crochet, love, making stuff is goodIn a few short hours I will be leaving for the airport. I’m headed for England, my first cousin is getting married next weekend and I’m so excited. I think it’s 7 years since I was there last. I’m really terrible with packing, my choices were a too small suitcase and a too big suitcase. […]

It’s ok, I had such an amazing week so full of love and support I can’t complain. It technically started on Tuesday when […]

Beginnings
By Caitlin Jane in babies, loveI mentioned it on twitter the other day and I will say it here too: things are changing for me. In a (hopefully) good way. I’m growing, I guess. It’s too early to say anything publicly but I’m excited and happy and I feel like my future holds more than loneliness and misery. I went […]
