i go it alone it doesn’t even hurt

i’ve developed some sort of weird spasm in my right eyelid. i haven’t a clue what it could portend. it’s probably a tumor or stress related or something. i do know that it’s damn annoying. so can i just hate the snivelling, wishy washy, pouty, afraid person i’ve become over the past week? blech, that [...]

Do you ever think of me my darling as you sail the ocean blue

i’m mightly lonely tonight. i spent most of the day cooking and cleaning and keeping myself and my mind busy with mindless, physical labor. but now i’m exhausted, in that smug, self-satisfied way that means i did stuff. however, my mind is spinning. thinking and wondering and pouting and wanting. i’m wondering which of these [...]

notes from a sunday

it doesn’t jibe

as i was sitting on the couch eating some karamel sutra watching “good morning miami” and trying not to think, i got to thinking about the day. i left work yesterday tired, dispirited and ready to look for a new place of employment. i was frustrated and just so very tired of fighting for everything.
