That's the 'Spirit of Tasmania' setting sail in the background... ah,to be at sea!!

This is about 2 minutes from our front door ... you are welcome at ours!

I have a job interview tomorrow,  and another one on Thursday, at 'Stephen's Hospital', the Children's Hospital, Centre for Adolesescent Health, Chronic Illness Peer Support. I'm feeling exhausted by all  this anticipated transition.

Bens and I are going  to Leonard Cohen on Saturday night.  Early in our marriage, we went on holiday and drove across the Cascades on  Highway 20 - the mountains are jaggedy and snow-capped and utterly beautiful - into Eastern Washington,  which is very dry,  where we stayed  at Methow  Valley Ranch. On the drive, we listened to Leonard Cohen, and let the magic of his lyrics  soak into our imaginations. His music is part of our story together. I'm excited for Saturday night! As is Bens!  As  are the girls, who are  staying the night at  Grandma and Gumps!!!

What a beautiful, beautiful view. It is summer somewhere! Here the days are cold and crisp, late autumn is upon us.

We've had a great w/e together - made felt Christmas stars, and watched Heartbeat together so far. Gump and Eowyn are off at a Callisthenics concert together.

This is Jonathan, who has lived all his life in Kosovo. Eowyn & Coco loved his company. My ailment has now been with me for 3 weeks. I just watched http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihuv5z6nqWw and was much amused. I don't think anybody reads these blogs any more. The only people who comment on mine are Bens and me. Hello! Is there anybody out there? (or is it in there?) I have become comfortably numb... Bit depressed, methinks.

Personal Statement – Iowa Writers’ Workshop

Wonderful blogging community, I'm posting this statement with two purposes. 1. It kind of summarises where I want to be going, which I want to share with you 2. I'd love feedback! They've asked me to: "Include your purpose in pursuing graduate study, any research you wish to pursue, and your future vocational goals." Thanks for reading this - I feel honoured by your interest in my life!! I want to write a novel, with beautiful sentences and adroitly crafted chapters. Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
