Blog of the Day -- March 10, 2006

A poem a day?

Restlessly
They scamper
Thought by thought
Skipping through
The recesses of my mind
Until weary of their
Playful taunts
They depart
And sleep
arrives

The last day in February

Today is the last day of the month of February, 2006. Thinking about that reminds me of Stephen King's short story "The Langoliers". It was a wonderful explanation of what happens to the past. As far as I'm concerned the whole month of February could get sucked up into the maws of the langoliers.

Three stars to the right
mask the light
of the moon

three stars to the left
shadow the heart
of the sun

three stars descending
foot the base
of the milky way

three stars ascending
crown
the sky

so where does that leave
me?

Well, it happened, another detached retina, this time in my other eye. Okay, I'm recovering, I can see 20-40 with glasses, which means I can read large print and when I get glasses I can drive, during the day.

Damn?

Blog of the Day -- November 7, 2005

Well, as you can tell I haven't blogged for a while. Got some disturbing news ... my vision is not getting better and might get worse. I'm coping, writing more and working through how I feel about losing more of my vision. In the meantime I'm also writing for Nanowrimo.org's 50,000 words in 30 days assignment. So far I have almost 5,000 words ... who knew?

Jerry had another back surgery, and has been really grumpy with the change of weather, tempermental. We had our bathroom redone and it's nice, but the floor is already lifting so I have to deal with the company that did the job ... I'm not looking forward to that. Our finances are better and I'm finally getting time to go through all of the 'stuff' we've accumulated and start getting rid of what I don't use any more.

So, all in all, it's good news and bad news ... life, in other words, is normal.

More later....
