from the outside. I wonder what misgivings I’ve had about others that I’ll never know. Things are not always what they seem. Things may look easy when peering in from outside… not feeling the heat, not hearing the noise, not living in the mess. I don’t want to use the fact that I have a [...]

Been awake since 3 a.m.
So I got up at 3:30 a.m. I made a few lists, and whittled emails to 11 in my inbox… The rest require daylight, the post office, a telephone, or a wee bit more motivation… Speaking of motivation, I like this t-shirt. The birds are singing this morning. I’ve heard them lately. Their songs make [...]

Awful Feeling
I just watched Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t keep up on TV much, a select show here and there… But I heard about tonight’s topic – a ferry tragedy, and curiosity got the best of me. Due to tasking (just can’tseem to do nothing while I try to sit a spell), I missed the “how” part [...]

There is Rejoicing in the Land
when: The phone hasn’t rung once all morning (hence the absence of guilt for not answering, which is my common practice during school time), AND we’ve gotten in some good schoolin’ by noon. Go literacy! I commit to bringing food for something, and (unbeknownst to me at the time of committing to aforementioned commitment) everything [...]
