Just be yourself. I’m sure someone told me that. Then again, I can be pretty out there, so maybe I made it up? I don’t know. The point is, I’ve been sitting here for the last three hours trying to think of what to blog about that’s not super depressing. But I can’t. It’s SeptemberContinue reading “Well SOMEBODY Must’ve Said It…”

Daily Prompt: Pretend
via Daily Prompt: Pretend Today I was a nurse. Well, someone thought I was a nurse. I was at an Asian restaurant tonight, grabbing some lemon chicken. At the register, the cashier asked me how my night was. “Fine” I replied. “Do you have any plans for the rest of the night?” “Oh, um… I’m going toContinue reading “Daily Prompt: Pretend”
Signs?
Sunday’s post was admittedly very depressing. I thought about ending with a joke or in some other way, discount or invalidate my feelings- to make other people more comfortable. I write to honor my experiences, myself. It’s for that reason, I ended it the way I did. Understandably, my mom was worried. “I want toContinue reading “Signs?”
Longing For Nothing
The past couple of days I’ve been feeling down. More so than usual. I wondered what had happened. Is this just another part of the grieving process? Feeling like you’re coming out of it before getting the door slammed in your face, a picture of what you lost taped to the back? I fell. HardContinue reading “Longing For Nothing”
Daily Prompt: Fragile
via Daily Prompt: Fragile Yesterday I felt fragile. Small and breakable. It started out that way because I was putting the finishing touches on the “End the Epidemic” brochure for the expo on the 15th and spent a lot of time finding the right photos and making them the perfect sizes. Writing her name andContinue reading “Daily Prompt: Fragile”
A Boy and His Dog, A Girl and Her Cat
As many of you know, we have two cats… two and a half if you take into consideration Bert’s enormous size. They’re great cats and Bert especially, is attached to his human -Tayla. It was all well and good until dun-dun-dun… I volunteered to take Deano, my parents’ teeny, tiny, dachshund. We were all excited.Continue reading “A Boy and His Dog, A Girl and Her Cat”

Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives on September 11, 2001 when terrorists hijacked four passenger airplanes, crashing them into the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, and the fourth plane, headed toward Washington, was diverted by the passengersContinue reading “My 9/11”

Another Loss
The picture of her is blurry, I know. Fuzzy or out of focus, I know. I’m using it anyway, maybe as a way to let go -just a little bit. Dull the pain, just a touch. Like most of the state, I heard yesterday about Jacob Wetterling. Don had called and when I answered heContinue reading “Another Loss”
