Home is Where the Kitties Are
I’m back in LA now, and I’m feeling a bit off. I am so happy to be home with my kitties and my things, but I feel very lost right now. I’m not depressed, thankfully; but, I am experiencing a deep longing for the freedom I felt last week. I had no responsibilities other than …

Sandy Spoke to Me This Morning
