I get that a lot. I ask myself that a lot. Especially when it becomes freakishly cold for November (20 below 0) and my pipes freeze. And then...my pipes unfreeze, my car starts regardless of the weather, and I look out over my mom's garden and see this:
I start to question my loyalty to Alaska again when the winds are blowing over 50 mph and blow my back door open when it has a box of books and a couch rammed up against it, and it's open for about an hour until I finally wake up to my lilly leaves rattling. But then...I drive to Anchorage and the crazy cold morning is leaving me breathless (when I'm in a warm car - much less usual than my lungs seizing up in rebellion against 15 below air).
Question for Deep Thoughts:
Should a journal be used for venting? If you keep it to pass to future generations, should you only put in uplifting things and vent elsewhere, or do you think your posterity will appreciate the candor and profanity - I mean humanity?

Oh Charive I have so missed reading your blog! When I write in my journal like once a year, I write it just to get stuff out, but if future people read it, meh! They'll see what I really think and how I was a bit. No editing needed for a journal for others I think! And that Thanksgiving display...I literally gasped a little and said "yum" when you got to Grandma's frog-eye salad! And I have no clue on the paper towel issue. Whenever we ran out of TP and had to use a PT, we just put it in the garbage, which is really gross that it sat there with...stuff...on it! mrh! Keep writing lady!!!
