I've been awol for a bit. Grief has taken over my life. I won't go into details but losing two family members (not my immediate family) and not being able to say goodbye or be there with them was agony. I am far from alone. No funerals either.

I am not coping great so I have been trying to distract myself. I haven't had the energy to be online or interacting socially. I compulsively cook, bake, and clean and binge-watch television.

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe. Hug the ones you can and call the friends and family you can't. You never know if it will be the last time you talk to them.

I want to bake bread but yeast is still not returned to grocery stores. I think I'll make a sourdough starter and see how that goes.

I could use some cookies.

Take care.



Hey, Gillian.
I am so sorry to hear your sad news. It doesn't mater how close they were it is still a hard loss to bear and I, like all your friends here send you hugs and comfort. Keep yourself busy and channel all your energies into those around you.
Remember, we are all here for you if that is of any help.
Stay strong, stay safe and, above all, carry on regardless.
For Earth Day I think that this video is perfect. The words of Carl Sagen are inspiring and thought provoking. The video itself is wonderful. I also love the music by Nightwish but that probably won't surprise any of you.
Please watch it and I hope that it moves you as much as it does me.
