Kanagaroo Paw - which I carried all over the market and then back to the apartment because my stepmom wanted to buy it for my dad. It's huge and beautiful and he loves it.

Lately, I've been doing this more than writing. (That's me trying to get my right toe onto a tiny hold, while barely touching the hold with my left hand. I fell a moment later. And again and again.)
Is writing gone from my life? I'm surprised but I feel much happier without it. These little mastodon scraps are oddly satisfying. Just *thinking* about writing - how I might structure what I want to say - feels enlightening. Feels like, right now, enough.
I walked over to the library to get it!
