Overlooking
The sea
After you passed
Cried out
Exhausted by life
And found
The sky
Saved room
For one more

My five year old once made a peanut butter, german mustard, and craisin sandwich. We still talk about it 27 years later. He long ago declared the mustard was the problem...
Would peanut butter and ground german mustard work..
I'm high and the if ya think about it the flavor profiles kinda seem to imply it would

You guys...
This couple... the husband dotes on his wife. He spent two hours playing the piano for her after breakfast. He knows she's not going to be with us much longer and he just loves her sooooo much.
I've had to remove myself to cry three times today. It's so beautiful and so sad ...

Off to work hospice for 48 hours straight. Then back home for Thanksgiving. The emotional roller coaster is very real.

To never marry
To #travel
To see the world
The car bombing
Changed everything
I lost myself
As easily
As i lost my hearing
I needed stability
I craved predictable
Like some people
Crave chocolate
But 30 years on
I crave myself
Even more

Starving...haven't eaten since breakfast. Roasting chicken with broccoli and rice for supper and the aroma is driving me mad.

I mixed the meat loaf, put it in the oven, then you took it out and moved it to a different pan. I washed potatoes, turned to put them in the oven, and you scooped them up to wash and trim. My ire was #measurable so I left the room and took a deep breath. Too many cooks in the kitchen.

I'm still stunned by the realization that I'm writing a psychological horror novel. All the odd bits and pieces just slipped into place. But this truly is one of my great joys in writing. Since I don't outline, discovery of the story my characters are sharing is a wild ride sometimes. #wip #writing

My neighbor is flying his new drone over my property. Sounds like a giant wasp. The instinct to slap it is strong...but I won't. Those things are expensive.

#Writing went pretty well today...words on page at least. Resolved a point where I was stuck. Teenage girls are always good for a bit of storming off. Mine discovered a hole they didn't know existed...but they know they shouldn't mention it.

Today marks a year since I joined Bluesky! A big thank you to all who read my #poetry and engage with me. You often make my day ^^
#vss365 poem ⬇️
I'm oft spoiled for choices,
but always choose to act.
No matter the #options
I do not opt out,
lest the choice
is taken away;
best to always
have a say.

I want a bagel...
And no, I can not just run to the store for a,bagel.
The store is 36 mins away.
So I don't get a bagel 🤷
