Look at this big handsome bastard. I nickname him ‘Creeper’.

NB: this windowsill is much shadier than the picture makes it look. Also, am almost as excited about this plant as I would be about a new kitten.

I was recently diagnosed with MS; a relapse has kept me from working. It’s made me ponder my profession’s overemphasis on ‘productivity’, & the lack of (self) compassion that attends it.

Managed to read this morning for the first time in weeks- fitting that the book is about ‘generous relenting’.
