Imagine the scandal

Mowing. I have enough battery life that I can mow for an hour. The weather app said 35% chance of rain. Kentucky weather is so fickle. A 5% chance of rain could mean that it will rain all day. And a 85% chance of rain means nothing. As I’m mowing the small side of myContinue reading “Imagine the scandal”

One mini meltdown

Write

Write with all your might. Write til your fingers bleed. Write til your heart stops aching. Write til night extinguishes the light. ~ Write with all your might. Write words that have no meaning. Write words that can’t stop screaming. Write til light extinguishes the night. ~ Write with all your might. Write, someone mightContinue reading “Write”
