seattle fever

oh boy. here i sit, wishing i didn’t have to go into that office today. i’m going to need to seriously juggle some things in my head or this next three months is going to be misery. monday morning, pre-coffee, and i am wishing i could go back to bed. thoughts of playing hookie come and go. sigh. days like this, i wish i didn’t have to work. days like this, i wish i was a house mouse. curl into my man and murmur ‘honey, time to get up. do you want breakfast today?’ and he snuggles in and whispers […]

bleh

i’m thinking about history lately. and weirdness from unexpected corners. and, of course, the usual where/why did [insert event here] happen moroseness. as it is. it’s perfectly fine as it is. even with all that. just thoughts. they pass, ya know. i’m not upset over losing my friend anymore. kind of hurt. mostly just that. never easy to find out you were very simple to sit down, give up. ego bruise. it’ll pass. i find myself wishing for october. i’m anxious to get on with getting on to seattle. i’m also a bit miffed with the folks who are pouting […]

i woke up thinking about someone. sighing, shake my head, move to the bathroom, wash my face and slowly sip water as i watch myself in the mirror and ponder the stubbornness of the inner workings and how reluctant they are to loose things. i remember when i first could tell i was getting older. the way my face and body was shifting. my eyes have never changed. i notice it, in the mirror, and it makes me smile. shamble to the room, a kitten insisting upon petting takes a few moments. choice of clothing for the day and then, […]

thought for the day

let him not say he is my friend who speaks as my friend, let him say he is my friend who shows love to my friends as the means by which to love me best. by making my world pleasant and restful, let him show me love. by making smiles appear on the faces around me, let him show me love. by remembering the thread which binds us all, let him show me love. (i believe myself to be the author of this, here, today, in this moment. but as you well know, there hasn’t been a truly original human […]
