"On and On" just gave me goosebumps. Please somebody help me.

Well, the Etsy levy has broken. (If you go weak-kneed when confronted with thousands of pages' worth of handmade crafty stuff and also don't happen to have oodles of extra money to spend, you might not want to click that link.)

I bought a little thing a couple weeks ago. And then I went back today and bought a slightly more expensive but smaller thing that is a version of something I've been looking for for a long time, something that fits into the weird mythology that my lack of religious upbringing but still intuitive nature has required me to create. And THEN I went to Creative Thursday, as I do many days, and lo: she is selling prints of her paintings on Etsy. And lo: Oscar & Lucinda is one of the prints she has made and is selling. And lo: I stared at Oscar & Lucinda for many minutes back when she first posted it, then for the next couple of days went back and stared at it some more, doing calculations of this-many-hours-at-the-pharmacy-for-this-many-weeks, and then went back another day and felt glum when I saw that it had sold.

And, thus: lo. My mailbox will be very exciting this week.
