Kaanii Cleaver hasn't added a story.
Those of you know know, love and/or follow me may already be aware of
the string of calamities that led directly to the creation of this
temporary page.
For those who don't know what's going on:
Three years ago, I made the very hard decision to leave
Colorado and an unhealthy marriage. My last nestling had flown the
coop and I was attached to someone who was not good for me. It took me
a year to get the move together.
End of August 2012: Second day of truck loading, I took a harsh
tumble down a flight of stairs and wracked my feet and ankles
considerably. Damaged an already wonky hip. Arrived in a Napa County
redwood forest and settled into a lovely little cabin with my cat,
Leroy, at least a ton of books and art, a humble quiver of guitars,
the will to reinvent my world and two broken feet.
Life reinvention was precisely what needed doing, and I was
doing a GOOD JOB of that. I kept the writing gig I'd had for 5+ years
and was making a nice little life for myself until the end of January, 2014.
The same day, two major ROTTEN THINGS happened. In the morning,
the web developer I'd been writing for disappeared. I did not receive
my last week's pay. That afternoon, my 20 year old car died a mile
from my cabin, in the rain, in the twilight.
I have since tapped into enough freelance work to keep a humble
roof above my head. Despite the fact that I work very hard every day,
I cannot afford surprise car repairs. As I start this page, the car's
in the shop being diagnosed.
I love where my cat and live, but it's more than inconvenient
to dwell on this mountain with no way off; it's dangerous. I am in a
fire alert zone and beyond nervous.
Now I just need find a way to pay the mechanic.
Your not-as-low-down-as-you-might-think friend,
Kaanii
