Grief; Transits in Quarantine
The silver lining to this is that I am pretty good at being alone anyway. I actually don’t mind sheltering in place since I can leave when I want to. Quarantine was awful. Not having a choice as to whether I stay in the apartment or not. Rick’s death. The process of announcing and dealing … Continue reading Grief; Transits in Quarantine
Grieving, Post-Quarantine
Numb is a good word. It’s been two and a half weeks since Ricky died, and I am embarking on the long business of wrapping up his life, wrapping up our life. If were able, I would take this slowly, but as it is, my lease ends on June 30, and there’s a lot of … Continue reading Grieving, Post-Quarantine
Grieving in Quaratine, Day 11:
I found that non-stop stand-up comedy is therapeutic to the point of necessity. I did pretty nothing except one thing: I cooked in the kitchen again. I can meet my basic needs again. Now, I’m trying to go to bed at a decent hour so I can try to stop fearing sleeping at night. And … Continue reading Grieving in Quaratine, Day 11:
Grieving in Quarantine: Day 10

I know I don’t have to be vigilant all the time, so I’m making myself not … Continue reading Grieving in Quarantine: Day 10
Grieving in Quarantine: Day 7
So he’s not coming back. I understand this intellectually, as this is the longest we have ever been apart, and I have spent seven days in my apartment without seeing him, without hearing him, without sending him a text message from the bathroom and him getting annoyed about it. I am not asking him what … Continue reading Grieving in Quarantine: Day 7
Grieving in Quarantine: Day 4
This is Cohosh Man. It’s not a man, and it’s not made of cohosh. It’s a sculpture of sorts Ricky made with foam crack filler. The coffee and inhaler make it a still-life. In time, he would become increasingly more dependent on those inhalers. He gave this to me the day that I was flying … Continue reading Grieving in Quarantine: Day 4
A Death in the Fugitive Umbrellas Family
And what did the exact conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn bring you ? My boyfriend of six years — the one I wrote about here - passed away in the wee hours of April 5, 2020. It was sudden. I don’t know if it was corona virus related, but it could have been, … Continue reading A Death in the Fugitive Umbrellas Family
Quarantine Blues?
Image by Harut Movsisyan from Pixabay So, I am essential, so I am working, albeit mostly from home. This means I don’t have a commute. Which means I have more time for things like astrology. I will post a new article soon. I swear. But this is also a great time for other work, like … Continue reading Quarantine Blues?
