Sunday – 11/12/23

I slept a long time. I had a dream that I went into the sea and when I opened my eyes, I had drifted far from where I’d gone in. I remember the feeling of panic as I looked around and only saw big rock formations in the water around me. Then I calmed myself…

Between dreams and memories

Something happened last night that rarely happens to me. Many writers say that they can’t sleep because they have all these ideas or that they’ll be struck in the middle of the night with an idea. Those things don’t happen to me. I’m not one of those writers. Except last night. I don’t know what…

Dad’s 78th

Yesterday was a tough day. April 21 is the day my dad was born back in 1940. He would have been 78 yesterday.  This post came up on my FB memories yesterday from 2016: 6 years ago, my mom, dad, sister, her kid & her husband met up in Las Vegas to celebrate my dad’s…

NPM – 15 of 30

Dream Dictionary Teacup – represents gossip, if the cup is empty you are doing the talking. If it’s full, people are dipping your bag, so to speak. Hammer – represents heartbreak, its final blows to your already damaged love muscle make sure its beating will never be the same. Seagull – represents a co-worker you dislike, the squawking…

where have I been?

At last writing (June 5), we had a couple days before received a 60-day notice for us to leave the house. 😦 It was not good news. We were in no way ready to move. But we had to get ready. The landlord gave the reason that he wanted to renovate the property. That, at…

missed one

Because I went to bed at 10 pm. Probably should have stayed home. The antibiotics or this infection took its toll on me yesterday. Cranky one minute, in tears the next. Side effects. Plus a strange lingering metallic taste, especially when I drink water. Didn’t take any percocet when I went to bed, but I…

workshop poem

Sometimes you never remember how or when a poem was written. But I have some in which I know exactly how, why, when, where. As described in the last post, I attended a workshop facilitated by Holly Prado. One of the first exercises was to write about something that happened that morning. I remember my…

what’s in store

I’ve made a couple updates to two of my other pages.  I changed “Reading…” to “Books” and changed “Listening to…” to “Flicks.”   Check ’em out if you’re so inclined. I’ve also taken some time to put together a few lists.  Like my sister, I’m a big list-maker.   So I have a 2009 Goals list, a…

getting together with an old friend, a dream, and random bits

Today after work, I am heading over to an old friend’s house to help her bake cookies for one of her son’s school activities. This kind of activity is not normally on my agenda. But I’m sincerely trying to make an effort to go outside my comfort zone a bit in order to change my…
