(It didn't die, what?! :D)

Sea Glass

Sheep clouds today. The sea is calm, though chill. The wind is playing with my hair again. It's a bit distracting. 

Viola? suggested I start a collection of my namesake. She has one. She keeps it on her windowsill, a line of spice jars with the labels soaked off. Four white, three brown, one and a bit green, most of one aqua, and five tiny drops of blue in a jam jar smaller than an egg. She says she would have more, but she doesn't go out as often as I do. The windowsill is full anyway.

I think I will put some of my introspection into a character sheet again. I have been thinking of it for a while.

Nymph

There are coyotes in Rosedale. There should not be. I scared them off as a mountain lion, but they might return.

Snowdrops are out. The weather can't decide if it's spring yet. It kind of is today. I wonder when Devin's coming. I didn't ask when that was. I feel like I'm chained to the house, able to move a little into the woods, but never far, always coming back to see if they're here.

Sea Glass

I haven't gone anywhere but the beach for days.

I apparently have been gifted with the ability to heal and to see the future. All that has happened so far is a dream in which someone was in my room, looking at more stones, shells and sundry than I have. 

I've found crystals to be oddly arresting. There is a clear white quartz crystal sitting on Viola's desk that seems to have captured a moment of sea spray within it. But other gems have pure and solid color, apart from its refraction within the faces of the stones. I may pursue this further, but for now I must find a divan. 

Gah, sorry I haven't posted yet. I've been super busy and just haven't found time. I'll be out of town from tomorrow until Friday, so I won't be able to post then, but hopefully I'll get time after that. I just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten this. 

Ooooh, this is cool, I’ll post later, cuz Raven doesn’t go out where there are other people lol. 

Can my Æs still join this?

You and my socialization.

Just saying.

Another day. I sigh, reaching a hand up to rub my groggy eyes. Instead, a paw comes up.

Darn it! I curse mentally. For some reason, I keep shifting in my sleep. Countless times, I’ve found myself curled up in the middle of a fuzzy pillow instead of buried below blankets. Squeezing up my eyes, concentrating, until the familiar burning starts in my stomach. I let out a slow breath, trying to wipe the pain from my face. “It doesn’t hurt” I once told Kiki. I was lying.

Now that I’m human again, I walk to the mirror and inspect myself. I take a brush and yank it through my dark waves. Dressing in a blue shirt, purple hoodie and jeans, I start to walk downstairs, then pause and walk to the garden instead. I plug in my earbuds and put on my music, humming along. Another day.
