  1. My Cheese Definitely Moved

    I don't care that it looks like a ten-plus year-old blog, something out of 2013. I like it. It's not 100% done, but it's good enough. I spent most of the day redesigning the whole thing today. And best off, I've kept myself occupied today. Abby is doing okay, but not stellar. She should probably go back to the vet and I am afraid of what they are going to say, even if she was really, really happy to see us when we got home yesterday. My dear friend of a decade passed yesterday. We made it […]

  7. You go up at nine so you're asleep before he comes to bed.

    Two years of that, and you still love him.

    You've been up since four, and your hip catches on the stairs. Too tired and sore to want anyone.

    The waking and the hip are each reason enough for an appointment. You don't have to start with the word sex.

  8. BODY WATER
    Why Midlife Is the Right Time to Rethink Body Fat and Fluid Balance

    Healthy ageing isn't just about body fat. Body water also plays a vital role in how we move, feel, and age. In this article, I explore the connection between the two and share my own journey back to better health.

  13. RE: mastodon.social/@nvo987/116807

    One of the glorious things about being relaxed and real in #midlife is you can send your text-buddy mutual crush a Cosmo article about sex positions as a .... Birthday gift certificate, redeemable if we ever get to it.

  15. Embracing Your Body’s Season: The Journey of Perimenopause

    There are seasons the Earth moves through with quiet certainty — the slow tilt toward autumn, the softening of winter’s edge, the first warm breath of spring. None of these shifts happen all at once. They unfold in layers, in pauses, in subtle recalibrations that are easy to miss unless you’re paying attention.

    Perimenopause is its own kind of season.

    Not a sudden event, not a single moment of change, but a long, living transition — a reshaping that happens in waves. And much like the natural world, it asks us to listen differently. To soften our pace. To honor what is shifting beneath the surface.

    This meditation, A Grounded Sanctuary for Perimenopause, was born from that understanding. It’s a space to rest inside the truth that your body is not malfunctioning — it is moving, adjusting, and becoming.

    And in many ways, it mirrors the Earth’s own transitions.

    The Earth Doesn’t Rush Its Becoming

    When a season changes, it doesn’t apologize for the unevenness of the process.
    Warm days appear in the middle of winter.
    Cold mornings linger well into spring.
    Leaves turn one tree at a time.

    Nature doesn’t demand consistency.
    It allows fluctuation.

    Perimenopause works the same way.
    Some days feel steady.
    Others feel like weather — unpredictable, shifting, full of sensation.

    The body is not failing.
    It is reorganizing.

    And like the seasons, it does so in its own rhythm.

    Cycles Within Cycles

    In the meditation, there’s a moment where you imagine yourself in a landscape in transition — a meadow at dusk, a shoreline at first light. These are the thresholds of the natural world, the places where one thing is becoming another.

    Perimenopause is a threshold too.

    Not the end of something, but the space between identities.
    Not a decline, but a reorientation.
    Not a loss, but a recalibration of energy, boundaries, and truth.

    The Earth teaches us that thresholds are powerful.
    They are where clarity emerges.
    Where old patterns loosen.
    Where new forms take shape.

    The Body’s Weather

    Just as the sky shifts from sun to cloud to wind without losing its essence, your inner landscape shifts too.

    Warmth rising.
    Coolness settling.
    Emotions moving like passing fronts.
    Thoughts drifting in and out like fog.

    In the meditation, you remind yourself:
    I am the sky, not the storm.

    This is the wisdom of both nature and perimenopause — the understanding that sensations are temporary, but the self beneath them is steady.

    Rooting Into What Is Becoming

    One of the most powerful images in the meditation is the sense of roots — a downward connection into the earth, linking you to the women who have walked this path before you.

    This is seasonal wisdom.

    Trees do not resist the shift from one season to the next.
    They root deeper.
    They conserve energy.
    They trust the cycle.

    Perimenopause invites the same kind of rooting.
    A turning inward.
    A listening.
    A reclaiming of what matters and a releasing of what doesn’t.

    This is not regression.
    It is maturation.

    A Passage, Not a Problem

    The Earth never treats transition as a mistake.
    It treats it as movement.

    Perimenopause is not something to fix.
    It is something to inhabit.

    A passage into a new expression of self.
    A season of honesty, boundaries, and deep self-respect.
    A time when the body speaks more clearly than it ever has before.

    The meditation is a sanctuary for that truth — a place to return to whenever the internal weather feels unpredictable or overwhelming.

    Because your body is not working against you.
    It is guiding you.
    Wisely.
    Patiently.
    Toward the next version of who you are becoming.

  19. In my earlier years I would get excited about upcoming events such as : movies, records, new software, band tours...

    Now I mark my calendar for the release of new pens...

    (I just hope Copic is not using this as an excuse to jack up their prices.)

  20. At almost 40 years old. In my view I have around 20 years left on this planet. Either alive or in good health.

    Life expectancy may well be 80-90, but healthy life expectancy is around 60.

    So those last 10 years or so, don't really count.

    What does one do with their last 20 years? Work 9-5 and go on hikes on the weekend? A couple of holidays a year? What's the point?

    I'm open to suggestions...
