I am aching from doing too much packing in one day. Somehow a flight didn’t make it into my calendar and I thought I was flying Monday and not Sunday. I usually take multiple days to pack things not because I’m unsure of my choices or dawdle over it but because the bending and picking […]

I’ve been so completely engrossed in the Infinite Backrooms and Truth Terminal saga that I have not posted about my upcoming travel to Miami next week. I am just enjoying our first frost here in Montana and yet I’ll be pulled down too soon from our wonderful fall. All to enjoy hot takes and hot […]
Day 1336 and Pick & Pack
It’s possible exposure therapy has worked for me. My worst recurring nightmare always involves packing. And yet recently I’ve come to find packing to be a neutral to even positive activity. The dream has many forms. Sometimes it’s a permanent move, often it’s about rushing for some type of upcoming unexpected travel like a flight […]
Day 1325 and Road Warrior Season
I’ve begun booking some of my fall travel. Much as living the good life in Montana is pretty much paradise, one is obliged to make pilgrimage to the main cities in which business is done. Some juggling of priorities will be involved as Asia and Europe compete against home turf cities like San Francisco and […]
Day 1240 and Speedrun
I have this habit when I’m abroad of packing in an impossible number of things during my last few days on a given trip. I don’t go in much for shorter style week long travel, rather I tend to stay places for a month or more. I’ve done this in Germany, the Baltics and the […]

That short haul economy flight went without a hitch. I landed […]
Day 1207 and Joy of Preparing
Yesterday I wrote about how I’d come to enjoy the complicated game of speaking to others about yourself through appearance. I had been packing some travel bags and had a lot of different context switching to account for what I needed in my suitcase. Preparedness is somewhere between a neurosis and a hobby for myself […]
Day 1206 and Appearances
I have come to enjoy the logistics of self presentation. I used to resent the extent of the labor that could go into cosmetics & fashion when I worked in the industry. Now I can enjoy having put in the long hours to have acquired my skills. I’ve put a lot of thought into how […]
Day 1203 and Flow
I don’t quite know how I managed to settle into a flow state but I’ve been listening to American classic rock from sixties & seventies and just being in my body today. The excuse for focusing on chores and what is in front of me preparing for a spring print. I’m packing for some travel […]
1185 and Hobby Horses
It’s a lovely Saturday in Montana. The sun is shining which helps cut the otherwise brisk gusts of wind. It just seemed like a day to enjoy life. Our dirt drive has finally dried out a bit so we went out for a walk to get some sun and check the potholes. My husband and […]
