Egad, what a joyous day it is to have eyeballs on the Internet. I make Things and contend with Ailments. Welcome to chaos. Hehe.

I wish I could say I’ve been resting,
and I have been, physically, for the most part. But things between Emerson and I have been a lot less tempestuous and a lot less stressful since he had his surgery, to such a degree that I’ve been able to work through my own emotional backlog for what feels like the first time in years,…

Emerson’s surgery went so well!
He is home and recuperating. I was so worried. I am going to likely crash for….the foreseeable future, so if y’all don’t hear all that much from me and my posts are rather short, these past few weeks have been brutally stressful and I am broken levels of tired. So… Goodnight, y’all 💛 I hope…

I crashed for most of today.
Emerson has surgery in a couple of hours, so I am probably going to try to get some sleep, if I am able, then see him off if I can wake up for it. I had a great time facilitating Better Together, though. I gave everyone a prompt about coded language in poetry and everyone…

WELL. I just watched half of a video with this strange, swirly color pattern and half of my head really fucking hurts now
And I feel really nauseous and kinda out of it. I’ve taken my seizure meds AND my migraine meds, but if some shit happens in a few hours, y’all know what’s up. In the meantime, it’s time for turbo unconsciousness so I don’t dieee -Allēna

50 lives ago, I was jealous of her, but now it seems like I dodged a bullet…
When I was 14 and had just started going in and out of the recording studio, an artist named Sarah Jaffe in the DFW area where I was born and raised was starting to get big on the local scene. Being the teenager bursting with insane, almost suicidal ambition that I was, I wished so…
