we've been finding little clear puddles
of mystery puke lately; this morning on
the windowsill for overnight guests jo
and min to see--how embarrassing, but
they're extreme cat people too so it was
ok. on our daily one hour walk, sunny
ate what turned out to be his
last grass-
hopper. a few minutes afterwards, he
lightly convulsed and retched up some
fluid and just a trace of carapace. sorry,
buddy, no more chitinous exoskeletons
for you. from now on, catch and release.

what are we even doing here? why did
i think buying a fixerupper was a good
idea? could i not think of anything better
to do? a
house like this eats you alive....
but it's a gentle digestive process, lulled
like an insect lured by a pitcher plant. 4
years into the process and i can't imagine
what it'd be like to be done. sometimes i
fear i'm wasting my life, but then i think
of all the people checked out in front of
screens--but not you! that's not what i
mean. we laid some pavers in the heat.
