I dreamed of snakes last night. One, and two, all around Nathan and I. We held hands and tried to move between them. Several of them were coral snakes and king snakes. We tried desperately to tell the difference between them. Then we realized we were barefoot. Red and black, friend to Jack, I recited, then realized most of the snakes in question were coral snakes.
In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.
