a few things

1. I started a new blog - just for hiking/outdoorsy stuff. wheeeee. And I will still write here, too, other stuff. Check out the new blog.

2. I am actually starting to feel - almost - normal again. Or at least to adjust to my new normal - one not as clouded by grief and depression. There will always be some bittersweetness - some layer of sadness, or perhaps just hard experience, to color my point of view...but the layers of fog are lifting. I am glad. Somewhat weirded out by it all - and struggling a little with the idea that I do not have to be sad in order to honor K's life and memory. It's a process.

3. I keep thinking about getting a tatoo. Must question some medical professionals about this. No rash decisions on this one.

4. WTF McChrystal and Obama??? That's a whole blog post in and of itself.

Here is my unsolicited advice from a medical professional with a tattoo. (ahem)

Look at reviews online for the parlor

Autoclave ON SITE! and inspected.

Sterile packaging opened in front of you!

New ink opened in front of you!

At least, those are the things I look for. Can't wait to hear your idea for your art.

And McCrystal and Obama.....yeah. Just...yeah.

What tattoo would you get?

Funny you should mention the idea of honoring someone's life without being sad.... i JUST had that thought tonight about my dad. and a few other people I've lost in my lifetime. Literally had the thought 2.5 hours ago. eery.

@Sisu: thanks for the advice :) will keep you posted

@Lea: not totally sure yet - something small, in honor of K. We'll see.
I guess we were just on the same wavelength tonight :)
