Day 11

Today is day eleven in the hospital. I’m noticing things. You grow more comfortable with discussions about bodily functions. My dad has always had a flagrant disregard for the concept of polite conversation. Now, it is even worse. I have be party to more fart and poop conversations than I ever want to go through …

The New Normal (for at least a while)

Today has been this strange dichotomy of personal and public worries and happiness. I have felt strange since yesterday because my focus is still on my father. It seems small and selfish, but he is my father. He is well. We hope to finally be going home tomorrow. That is one part of me. The …

Pulling Together

Today was horror. I can’t wrap my brain around it. I can’t think well enough to really write about it.  My loved ones are safe. Many many people are not. Here are some things I can tell you: 1. Read this blog post by my friend Lynsie. Her mother lost her home two years ago …

This Day

Oh, Lord, this day. It has been one hell of a day. My father has been in the hospital since  Monday. I’ve been here most of the time, too. By most of the time, I mean until tonight I had only left this hospital for two hours to take a shower at Tina’s house. This …

I shot myself in the foot with the boring and calm comments.  Things went all wonky again Monday. I’m having a hard time believing it is only Wednesday. Things are not nearly as bad as last time. More than just that we are in a wonderful hospital that is a lot more comfortable, better food, …

Down the Rabbit Hole *Snicker*

what the fuck is happening

So, I had planned to come here and write about writing like a fiend and finding my groove again and inform y’all that the Viking hasn’t gotten me the pictures from the zoo yet because he is working full time and working on a Master’s and trying to get sleep. It started out innocently enough.  …

Decisions

This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. The decisions we make determine the kind of people we are. They determine the lives we lead. They also determine how we effect the world.  I know it is pretty elementary stuff. It is something I hope most of us figure out pretty early …

Boring

I am gloriously boring right now. Now that you need mind bleach, back to what I was saying. I am gloriously boring right now. I don’t know how long it will last, but I am going to savor it. My life is writing, finding out I am an idiot savant at crocheting, and being madly …
