Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I have told you before that I have birds. I’d like to tell you about them today. Last year was a year of many changes for me. As for my birthday, I often delay or “forget” it completely because my boy was born on my birthday, and I am usually... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Hello, my heart. I used the thought of you today again to get myself moving. It’s a holiday, and I woke up with absolutely no energy to do anything. I woke from sleep in that state of lethargy beyond tired, but somewhat pleasant for it. When your mind wakes, but... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, As I am entering a third day of being late on my cycle, the hormones make me heavy and pessimistic. One question keeps nagging me — what if you are not there? Oh, I do not doubt that at one point or another, you were born just for me. I do not... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Stress. People are divided into two categories about that one: those who thrive in it and those who wilt in it. Or so people like to believe. People LOVE to believe they are special, unique, and that their bodies are an invention new to humankind. When in fact, as diverse... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, You are going to ask me why, for the love of God, I want to talk to you about video games, aren’t you? I am well aware that a man like you perceives video games in general as a drain on energy, and people who spend their days playing games... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, In some ways, I am a big cliche: I believe in love, I believe in domesticity, I am overly aroused before and during my ovulation, and I am depressed and tired before my cycle. In some ways, I am as predictable as a Swiss clock. So, as I am supposed... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Success! This morning, I am feeling neck pain at 3/10. 3/10! I am so pumped, I cannot even explain to you. I can move my neck; my flexibility is back, and I am mostly able to stand. After an hour in the kitchen while organizing the kids, I did feel... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Neck pain this morning was dull and annoying. A solid 7/10 that I cannot, for the life of me, shake. I just took some Tylenol on top of my regular Naproxen, but I still feel it enough that every motion, noise, and sudden explosion of silliness from the kids makes... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Life is about cycles, start and go, creation and consumption, inspiration and numbness. It seems that for the first 10 days of our correspondence, I was in a “show and tell” mood, bleeding on the page and creating the words. And now, I am more in the consumption stage, where...

Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Second time writing you on the same day. Don’t get used to it. Neck pain level is 4/10, and I was without my brace all day. It feels… mostly tight, I suppose, under the jaw. But so, so much better. The medication helps. A lot. I was able to make... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. I had a burst of energy and ability this morning, waking with only 5/10 on the pain scale. I used the time wisely and attended the kitchen. Took care of the kids. Drago and Stallion are home today, sick. Wolfy and... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, Good morning, my love. How did you sleep tonight? I have been spending a lot of time in this cocoon of warmth and protection you have created for me, even in your absence. For the past week, I have been utterly obsessed with these letters. It was what got me... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, It’s Sunday. The publication here on Medium is a learning curve, for sure, so while I am writing this on the weekend, it will only be posted mid-next week. But it’s important for me to tell you it’s Sunday because of the immense guilt I feel for sitting at the... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I have been digging for knowledge on you. It’s funny how when you “meet” someone, you just feel at home. But then to articulate that is a tough job. And what I found, both from working with AIs and from my own life — is that as long as you cannot articulate... Continue Reading →
Dear London Fire Snake Scorpio, I have had quite a night. I couldn’t sleep till 2 am and then woke at 6. So the pain in the neck is high today. I can bore you with the details of what switching medications and adjustment periods do to your brain, but I respect your time too... Continue Reading →
