Carnivore Dreams – Lucid Dream – my mom

Breakthrough in my dream walking. I hadn't been incubating my dreams in a year or longer. But I did the last three nights. I remembered them. (Incubating is purposely making an intention to focus on your dreams, planning, perhaps, in participating in them, directing them, but the incubation part is preparation for lucid dreaming. Sometimes …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 21 or so and BOAT!

Ok, it's red and not all white or mostly white like I wanted. And needs a good detailing, teak refinished and the trailer painted. And it stalls in idle right now and has no speedometer. However, the electronics will have that. When we get it. Just ordered life jackets, porta potty (there is a closet …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 20 maybe? I lose track – Black holes and alternate universes

Black hole portals. It's Wednesday and I wonder what I'm doing in an alternate universe somewhere, some in which I chose more wisely, I hope, or we all did as a people; some in which I don't exist at all--an idea that sometimes sounds peaceful, sometimes terrifying. I don't mind the idea of not existing …

Carnivore Dreams – More Chauvin Thoughts

Photo by Karolina Grabowska on Pexels.com Nobody liked that video of George Floyd. Nobody. And yet this is not "justice." They might as well have lynched the guy. Nobody cared that George Floyd said he couldn't breathe BEFORE he was put on the ground, or that he ASKED to be put on the ground. Or …

Carnivore Dreams – Diet Update (Day 17 or so) – Bills and Boats

No, I haven't gotten back into my writing schedule, but I make headway. I am still planning a budget now that the refi went through, paying bills, making projections. Will finish working on that today and fill out paperwork for Dad's eye appointment on Friday. A few hours work here. Budget especially important since it …

Carnivore Dreams–Spring Thoughts

Ha, no not the last one. I wish. The rest are my spring seedlings. But those tiny seedlings above are petunias I way overplanted into those containers and it will be interesting to see if I can thin and separate them and transplant them before heading outside with them. I think they are all blue/purple, …

Carnivore Dreams – Snowy Wednesday

Just kidding. It is snowing, but it's not sticking. It's been a couple days of apartment books and bill paying and pill filling and laundry. Tomorrow house cleaning. So many people are in and out of here, it seems like you get constantly interrupted with health issues. I stopped and watched Governor Witless who at …

Carnivore Dreams – Day 12 maybe?

My great grandfather's boat, last steamboat in inland waterway. I didn't include the new fridge. A week from today we close, at 2 p.m., on our refinance so we can keep the house in the family. It's spring and the deck needs staining, trimp touch up, landscaping, garden planted. But at least this is as …

Carnivore Dreams – Thoughts

Jordan Peterson (no I know this is not Jordan; it's Ernest) said "to not say what you think is to kill your unborn self" to deny yourself or some such thing. I'm certain that's the drive for those of us who become writers. It was certainly true of Ernest Hemingway, who started every writing day …

Carnivore Dreams – Moving Forward Day 12

Photo by Alex on Pexels.com It's going to rain all this week, they say. Some wildflower seeds are germinating out there; I planted them today, along with some petunias under my grow lights in the basement. I harvested some of our first leaf lettuce from the aerogarden and mixed it with some store romaine for …
