    2021-03-23 Radom Rant Tuesday đŸ˜’

    What’s that saying again?..  If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.  Yeah. That.  In my own head I’m bitchy and constantly venting about all irritations, big and small. It’s everything and everyone and I’m not sure what I have to do to get myself out of this mood. Make…

    2021-03-21 Questions of Life and Death

    I guess it’s been a few days. I guess that’s what happens when life gets busy. I feel like I complain a lot about not ever having enough time but then something happens and I have even less time. I guess that’s the nature of life. Experiences that are constantly teaching you that you don’t…

    2021-03-18 Let Me Tell You

    I don’t care. I’ve never been a rule breaker, and it doesn’t seem fair, but with the kind of hour, day, month I’m having I no longer care.  Let me just tell you when I was at the grocery store a few days ago doing that self check out thing I do, I scanned the…

    2021-03-15 This Room With a View is Not Helping My Mood

    No walking on the treadmill for me today… I’m out of my element and typing on my laptop from a hospital room while my mom tries to take a nap. Though, I think sleep in this place is rare because of all the people coming and going. I’ve been here a few hours now and…

    2021-03-14 Designated Daughter

    The saying “Hurry up and wait” is often attributed to the military but I think is also quite appropriate for the hospitals and medical care. Nothing like waiting around all day for something to happen or change and being disappointed because nothing happens. And why is it that the waiting and nothing is also somehow…

    2021-03-13 The Variable Speed of Time

    Life. Funny the way it is. Short. Long. Boring. Overwhelming. Joyful and full of pain. The time we have is a gift and yet we often waste it in so many ways.  Time is a major undercurrent in many of my poems and essays. It’s a theme that shows up subtly whether that’s what is…

  • 2021-03-10 News Too New to Process…

    Yesterday’s brief topic was about no news being good news. So of course the Universe responded right away. It was quite literally 10 minutes after I posted (and was ramping up for my cardio) that I answered a phone call from my mom asking if I could take her to the ER.  I will say…
