Love living in a cave living for a year or so? It never appealed to me before, either. But Sarcoidosis (sarc) kills. The ultimate box makes cave life look like Spring Break. So here I come darkness, light-blocking shades, sporty cover-all, dark, thick clothes and a cap-hat to smush any 'do I do. 5-10 minute dashes on darkened days to the outer world.

I'm expecting my new counted cross stitch design business to succeed so staying indoors year round won't be so tedious. I can do the night, so I guess this is the year to brush up on galaxy and moon study. Here's to shooting stars in August and fantasy during the day.

I've never lacked for imagination, but I'm going to depend on it now. That and fairly accurate 3-d memory of figure, drapery, animals and botannical preparation of the past. Music and watching my son fence will smooth it all out. It's only a year or two and then I can have my life back.
