I’m feeling sick.
My stomach hurts.
Arms feel like noodles.
I don’t want to throw up.
My head hurts.
Can I stay home from school?
You don’t have a fever.
Go lay down.
I’ll check on you later.

Poking the boil,
Lancing it.
Opening up the puss filled wound
in order to drain it.
Cleaning it out
so you can actually move on.
It causes you to be tired.
Sluggish.
Unmotivated.
Distracted.
Worst of all, grumpy!
Fried or baked.
Small or large.
Thick or thin.
Sweet or savoury.
Yummy in the tummy
and now I really want some.
I would have if I could have.
I could not so I did not.
But if I did I would have.
Check list made.
Ready to go.
Turning back as things left behind were remembered.
Turning back again.
Once more we turn back for the last time (we hope).
Laughing, because this is what memories are made of.
Still, it was a good weekend and friends make it all worthwhile!
But nonessentials like the grapes and olives and candles
will definitely be Not forgotten next time.
Maybe.
Cats are more intelligent than most people think.
They are very affectionate
and with love and care
are very loyal animals.
I say this as I start counting
waiting for my cat to decide,
inside or out?
He knows when I hit 5
I make his decision for him.
What’s to see?
Blurry outlines or far away skies.
Can we live without sight?
Yes.
But do we want to live without seeing?
Sometimes there are things we would rather not see
so not having your glasses
can be a good excuse.
Whether in the sea
or on land
every place is beautiful
and unique.
The corals are homes
and the beaches too.
The forest hold life
and we embrace the way nature should be.
Sewing up the teddy bear’s rear
So it no longer sits staring at me
day after day
with loose stuffing falling out.
Maybe someday
I will get around to actually repairing all the other items I have been putting off.
