Week In Review – Sickness(es)

Saturday
I knew when I went in to work tonight
that it was going to storm.
And that it would be raining all night.
So I guess that’s why I decided
to leave my umbrella in the car.

Sunday
After all the rain yesterday,
Today was bright and beautiful.
The perfect day to get out
and go to work for 8 hours.

Monday
I went to the doctors today, because
I’ve been sick for 4 weeks, going on 5!
It’s sitting in my chest,
and I don’t like it!
😦

Tuesday
I didn’t start my medicine last night,
because it was late and I would rather
take it in the mornings.
And then I forgot it this morning.
And then I forgot it all day long.

Wednesday
So, I bought World War Z last Friday,
and I’ve watched it or listened to it
every night since then.
Right before bed.
I think it’s a zombie sickness.
But not THE zombie sickness.
Right?

Thursday
Yep, that’s definitely a hole in my shoe.
I can tell because of
the sock poking through it.

Friday
So when the medicine bottle says
“take with food”
it really means it.
I didn’t take with food,
and I’ve been sick all day. 

 


the Infinite Monkey speaks: the benefit of the doubt

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

Since I want the benefit of the doubt from others, I will have to freely and liberally give the benefit of the doubt first. I will have to take what I know about myself and my sometimes less-than-stellar ways in the world and assume similar good excuses for friends and family.

Something About You

This is my favorite song ever.

I have lots of second favorites, songs I get excited about when I hear them on the radio. You know, the “Oh! I LOVE this song!” songs.

But none have ever come close to knocking my favorite out of place.

I don’t even know why it’s my favorite song; I can’t explain it.

It’s like the difference between having a crush and being in love.

It just makes my heart beat in a different way.

.

What’s your favorite song?

Can you explain why it’s your favorite?

At 52 I am not old, no matter what the 30- and 40-somethings  say.  I comfort myself with knowing they’ll get theirs.
