Today I spent about an hour poking around with a flashlight and a branch off the old plum tree, collecting all the tiny cobwebs in and around the house (plus 5 occupied webs, sorry daddy long legs!). It's weird how stuff like that can go unseen for months at a time.
It feels like I'm starting to clear out the dusty webs of life, too. The last several months have not been good. A quick summary is that I was very sick for a few months, then had a series of experiences that left me with a variety of inconvenient ailments, including a lovely stress-induced ulcer and PTSD. It isn't over, and it's impossible to talk about. But I'm finally recovering, and EMDR therapy is awesome. I feel like I may be a slightly different person at the end of all of this, and I can't tell if that's good or bad.
At least, I'll be a person with fewer cobwebs.
