Brittle.

Blocky.

Ridged.

Weak.

Good thing these won’t be needed to build a house.

It is on the inside.

You want to rip out your eyeballs

or gouge into the sides of the temple.

Anything to make the pain go away.

Coffee doesn’t help.

Not with this pain.

Painkillers only dull the ache.

Close the eyes and try to sleep?

Child screams and the cat claw at you.

No rest for the head that throbs constantly.

The roads around here

have two versions available.

Ice covered or working through construction.

In the city

my place goes from

too warm

to freezing in a matter of minutes.

This is why I have a linen closet

full of just blankets!

Make a list.

Leave it somewhere.

Look for it.

Make another list.

Lose that one too.

Make one more list.

Pin it up.

Take it down to do something on list.

Put it down somewhere.

Even if I tattooed it onto me

I would probably find a way to lose it.

Or simply find it outdated.

Cute and adorable.

Stubborn and annoying.

She is my child

and I love her dearly.

I just wish

I could super go back to sleep

instead of trying to persuade her to go to school.

Wrapped up in the blankets.

Cuddling from the cold weather.

Can’t wait until we can get home

And take a long shower.

Camping can be fun

But there are obvious limits

To my patience.

I know it should be done.

The sooner the better.

Yet the energy required is so high

I can not bring myself to do it.

And so trouble comes

and I once again go into panic mode

when it is no longer avoidable.

Sometimes I say things

Not knowing how to say

What I want to say.

Learning to find the hidden gem

In my stories

Is a talent my friends have.

I do not mean to be obsequious

But I cannot always gather

My thoughts together to be coherent.

I am glad

I have people in my life

Willing to give me a chance.

Not everyone

Has such hidden gems

In the ones who surround them.

I’m just so tired.

I’m old.

Yet the injustices continue.

Time to get my phone

and call them

asking why my bill is high!

Tired is a problem.

It does make moving more difficult

and unwanted,

Things and errands need to be done.

Yet, I know they will be accomplished.

Just not very quickly.
