You'll always find me working where you find the big machines

[sovay]

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.

Multitudinous doctor appointments are so wearying. May you get through them well.

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.

Oh, indeed - that one looks a trifle disturbing.

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.
