My last weight loss journey: drink more water
Drink more water. 🤢 Stay hydrated. If I may ask, when did the phrase ‘stay hydrated’ become so common? Honestly. I live in my own world. A co-worker scared the be-gee-bees out of me the other day because I was in my own little world. 🤭 I don’t like water. But I’ve tried to addContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: drink more water”
The Masks We Wear
Do you wear a mask? Is it a heavy task? ~ Do you wear a mask of silence? Because it keeps you compliant. ~ Do you wear a mask of anger? All the emotions build inside you creating that clangor. ~ Do you wear a mask of work? Buried deep in the muck. ~ DoContinue reading “The Masks We Wear”

My knees buckle at the thought. My mind looses all direction. ~ Oh, my sweet. I number the days. An eternityContinue reading “I Serenade my Sweet”
Chico and the woman
What is good about having a pet? For those of you old enough to remember, there was a t.v. show called ‘Chico and the Man’ 1974. I didn’t (haven’t) watched it. I am only aware of its existence. The phase of my life since Chico has lived with me can be subtitled ‘Chico and theContinue reading “Chico and the woman”
Winter Season
Supper Esther hadn’t judged him…..yet. She moaned waking herself up. Someone had put a blanket around her and a pillow under her head. How sweet. The book she had been reading was at the foot of the bed, which pulled her attention to the fact that he was up. He was standing in the hallwayContinue reading “Winter Season”
Knock, knock
Knock, knock! Who’s there? Dish. What? Not what? Great! You’ve killed the joke. Take me to the dishwasher or you’ll come back to work with sour gnats and a funky smell at your workstation. I’ll make it so stanky, everyone will hold their noses as they walk by just for being a Joke killer. 🥣🥄🍴Continue reading “Knock, knock”

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car). I had the perfect answer; my house. But no, it can’t be my house. Or my car. Well shoot. So what’s next? That would have to be my cell phone. It’s the most expensive thing next in line the (I) paidContinue reading “Oooooo, I had….”
