You'll always find me working where you find the big machines
I would like to be doing so many things that I do not have the stamina for right now. As I have just been complaining elsewhere, my week so far has contained two doctor's appointments and I have three left before the weekend and with minor variations this has been the pattern of my week for months now and it's just devouring my time and my energy.
In cheering things, however: I can't believe my city contains a cursed figurehead and I didn't know about it. I shall have to visit the Old Village Cemetery in Dedham, and the Bostonian Society if they'll let me.

I think we managed to misplace the tracking number, but you have a gifty thing incoming, probably late this week or sometime next week. I hope it is a little cheering.

Thank you! That is really nice.
*hugs*
[edit] The gift arrived! Thank you, thank you so much. It's beautiful. And thank you for wrapping it as carefully as you did, because it was left on our doorstep in the rain and your letter now shows some watermarks, but the mermaid and her sea turtle do not.
*more hugs*

I have, er, a certain amount of experience with mail delivery leaving things on the doorstop in the rain. XD

I put it immediately on the wall outside our bedroom.
(One of the problems with this apartment is that it is impossible to hang pictures on most of the walls, but this is one of the rare stable ones, so up the drawing goes.)

And thank you for the link to the story; the figurehead looks vaguely dyspeptic, but perhaps not quite the the style of carving one might think would be cursed. Heh.

It's been very brightly kept up. I also was expecting something more like this.

Oh, I like her expression!

She is my favorite figurehead at the Peabody Essex Museum.

I think she's beautiful, but she looks like the sea. You wouldn't know the other had been in a shipwreck, let alone multiple shipwrecks, unless it said so on the plaque.

I hope the music helps just a little to get you through all the medical mishegas.

I really would like to see it in person. I expect the society will be deluged with requests now.

I've listened to "The Fitter's Song" like a dozen times in a row.

Ah! Neat. I have been to Dedham, but never to the cemetery.
I intensely appreciate people who can bring the past to light.
It's important.

I can't believe I haven't encountered it in local fiction! Maybe I should fix that.
