With a ten-client load, the day was light and fun but challenging food-wise. “Head on up; I’ll meet you there,” I said to my 3 pm appointment as I opened the office kitchen’s microwave. I slammed a piece of breaded chicken in it with two slices of Havarti on top until it melted, then ranContinue reading “I’m the Bestest”

The Longest Goobye
I am the queen of procrastination. Yet, as Her Royal Highness, I too very well know the drawbacks that come with setting something to the side. So, TikTok, texting, and a desire to finish my book must wait, I need to write. Unknowing what will be deleted in the final edit is interesting. At theContinue reading “The Longest Goobye”
Numb and Number
Post-dentist visit I spy the space where my old tooth’s molar once was, and in its place is a semi-crooked, and oddly colored rock-looking temporary tooth. It’ll take a couple weeks to make the permanent crown, but this temporary fix feels off, like that little tag when buying a new shirt. Along the edge ofContinue reading “Numb and Number”
Four Eyes Fantasies
My mind is blank. A train somewhere to the south is bellowing its horn. How quiet it is out here, except for that. I’ve never been on an Amtrak; does looking out the window make one dizzy and nauseous? Just thinking about it made my eyes shift to the right side of the room, imaginingContinue reading “Four Eyes Fantasies”
A Season of Sitting
The stubborn mule acts like tightness in my chest; no part of me wants to have a long, pointy needle pierce deep into my soft and fragile gums or hear and feel the jackhammer inside my head. I don’t want the vibrations of a WWF wrestling match inside my inner cavities. A crown at theContinue reading “A Season of Sitting”
Open Widest
Rocking gently in an out-of-my-budget recliner, I feel completely at ease to just sit and be here, knowing doing so will not lead to a red-vest-wearing sales worker asking if I need help. It’s as if they trust me to keep them informed of my needs There are days we head out, like to theContinue reading “Open Widest”
Into the Wide Open: A Poem
I’m not satisfied. I am, but then I’m not. Will the next thing be better? Let me abandon this for that, build my castle in the sky while leaving the safety and comfort of my bungalow in the forest. What a dilemma. I feel like burying my head in my hands, feeling the disappointment, theContinue reading “Into the Wide Open: A Poem”
Upchuck the Boogie
Shortly after I signed off from blogging last night, an unexpected rendezvous occurred with a toilet bowl and my unfortunate bout of nausea. Unsure when my last kneeling of unpleasantries took place, I am here to say it’s as unfun as I remember. The excessive salivation leading up to the stomach’s forceful contractions is aContinue reading “Upchuck the Boogie”
My Brother Bear
“Your number today is 41. I repeat, your phone number today is 41.” Now that my brother is staying connected, he’s calling me every morning and evening, and even leaving voicemails. He fancies himself pretty clever. That I unknowingly left off the word “phone” in front of number when voicing my message has me susceptibleContinue reading “My Brother Bear”
Beggars Can Be Choosers
You attempt a good deed, only to find a mischievous squirrel enjoying a feast and a toppled feeder. As I mentioned yesterday, my winter anti-depressant is bird watching, and the excitement of filling feeders has begun. Yet, amidst my joy, I neglected to consider the biggest threat to my birdwatching bliss – those pesky gray,Continue reading “Beggars Can Be Choosers”
