We never are what we intend, or invent

It’s 2:30 am. Again. Seems like all I do is stare the clock down during these dark hours. I never blink, and neither does he.

She said everybody wants to be here

here where there’s no one else around…

I laid in bed last night and I stared at Mr. Bear. I’ve had him ever since I can remember. I have a picture of me when I’m 3. I’m sitting on the fireplace holding Mr. Bear. He’s bigger than I am. I named him Mr. Bear because that’s [...]

2005

I follow a few blogs pretty faithfully. In the past few weeks they’ve written letters to their 1989 and high school selves. Granted I only graduated high school a few years, but I certainly have a few things to say to myself.

So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah

so my mom has lung cancer. Probably. They found a mass today. We go to a pulmonologist sometime this week.

Impossible means nothing to me

She sat in the chair on the screened in porch. Stared out into the landscape. But she didn’t see a thing that was there. She lost herself in thoughts of long ago. Somehow one thought lead to another that lead to another, and she was full circle.

I think I give him too much credit

I thought he would have called or texted. Maybe  I give him too much credit and I’m putting all my eggs in his basket. Maybe I should move home….

I can see for Miles

My night is going to be so crazy, I have to pack for the weekend, stop by and see the kids, coffee with my high school girls, and then I’m working all night. Surgery is Friday, I’m a bit nervous.
Okay, for the good news. I’m going to lose weight. For real. I have a plan, [...]
