Stuck
It’s a little after 3 a.m. and sleep is an elusive creature with beautiful wings that won’t land anywhere near me. I was hoping I could get through the whole month with nothing but poetry posts, but it’s not happening. After sleeping in two-hour bursts and then lying awake for nearly two hours, this is [...]
Crazy
Oh, it has been a week. Is it the full moon? Is it Spring on the wing? Is it the antsy, itchy anticipation of the dreaded springing forward? Is Mercury in retrograde? Who knows? I can only offer my observations that right now everything in the world seems completely and utterly bat-shit crazy. That’s about [...]
Thankful Soup
That’s what I’m calling the big pot currently bubbling on the stove. But it’s also the quality of this post in general. My brain feels like a bubbling cauldron today, with so many thoughts roiling around inside I hardly know where to begin. Sometimes, I don’t feel very thankful for that because there seems to [...]
Fallen
At first, there was only distance between us, like a flat, endless road through the desert. Another car seen miles away shimmering in the liquid mirage formed by blacktop under intense heat. Momentum brought us closer, but still on track, each in our perfect lane headed in opposite directions. We passed in a whisper of [...]
Not. Possible.
Please tell me that I don’t, I mean DO NOT, have a crush on someone the same age as my daughter!!! That is just wrong. But, OMG…. What IS it about those damn redheads??? I may have to quit watching the show. Boo hoo! Helen! Where are you Helen???
Better…And Not So Much
The new furnace is in. It’s smaller and much more powerful and efficient than the old one. We have a programmable thermostat and the guys who installed it were friendly, personable, neat and cleaned up after themselves. They also installed smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Once we get the bill, we have to call and [...]
Regrouping
The new furnace arrives Nov. 8. It’s been warm during the days so far, but chilly during the night–last night into the 20s. I’m very grateful for the gas logs down here in the basement. We had two more things go kaput on us this week–our dual-controlled electric heated mattress pad (nice when G is [...]
The Wee Hours
It’s 3:30 in the morning. I’ve been awake for over an hour and finally decided to quit chasing elusive sleep. Sometimes it’s better simply to get up than toss, turn and fret for another minute. I can always tell. I wake up around 2-ish nearly every night, but usually (mostly thanks to better living through [...]
Buckling Down
It’s days now. Not months nor weeks, but days. Nervous, yes. Excited, even more. Trying not to worry, of course. There’s so much stuff going on in and around my life right now and I’m trying very hard to focus on keeping up with exercise. I have a 3-day weekend (today, tomorrow and Wednesday), then [...]
Strange Attractors
It’s got to be because Mercury is in retrograde. Things have just been completely weird since that happened at the beginning of this month. First friend L goes on a simple trip to visit her daughter, winds up in hospital, then comes back ready to leave everything behind and move to CA. G starts stressing [...]
