I've been sick enough to sentence myself to the cabin, mostly...

That's shameful.

I made a good space better and more my own.

Sleep-'til-nooners get none of that.

Our own government abandoned its purpose generations ago...

Life -- this life -- is good.

Am I done? Have I said all that I have to say?

I had a hot breakfast and snuggled with Smudge.

'You better start from the start...'

It was a very satisfying thing to do.
