I'm Zee.
I'm 40ish and live in the Pacific NW.
My interests include pandas, pop culture, animals in general, food, travel, swimming pools, books, attempting to understand "why" and also sometimes "how". I like to visit the past sometimes but I sure wouldn't want to live there.

So this is my life now: get up in the morning early. Weekdays I go to work, the hospital, and then home to bed to do it all over again. Weekends and holidays are all day at the hospital.
My mom and brother came up to visit me for Christmas even though my mom was sick. On Christmas day she was so bad I called an ambulance to their hotel. She was admitted to the hospital and has been there ever since. She has advanced cancer. She’s not getting better.
At first we thought we could at least stabilize her enough to get back to home for hospice care but it is a million and one chance she’ll leave this hospital alive.
Lucky for me, I live a block from the hospital. My brother is alternating between Oregon and here. Her good friend is up visiting now.
It’s hard, y'all. This is not my first ride at this particular rodeo but it’s not like it gets any easier. I have a lot of complicated emotions.
Everything is day to day right now.
Anyway, that’s why I’m not around

So for Christmas I got a couple sweaters, some nice gloves, and the joy of calling 911.
Don’t worry, I’m not the sick one.
I’m going to be even more erratic about posting for a while. Hope things are MUCH better for the rest of you

Whoa, those things are Australian? Who would have guessed? Get bent, Australia. If an Australian ever tells you it’s not so bad living there, don’t listen: that is a human skin suit filled with thousands of spiders, and it is trying to trick you.

It’s it’s not snakes, it’s spiders, and if it’s not spiders, it’s, like, drop bears.

The magnificent, marvelous, mad, mad, mad, mad Madam Mim!
Sword in the Stone (1963)
I love this movie!
When I was little, Madame Mim scared me, but as I grew up I came to love her.
