Sleepless 3am

friends don't let friends pout and post

A woman adrift
Tossed on the swells of her thoughts
No landfall in sight

Doubts circle like sharks
Drawing closer in the dusk
Fear colors her dreams

New dawn brings no hope
Unreachable horizons
Empty endless seas

No friends to anchor
Strangers buffet like white caps
A woman alone

Frozen

but the power stayed on

One-point-five inches
of ice encased my whole car
Slow start this morning

5pm Treat

snack now, restraint later

Microwave popcorn
One hundred calories of
Salty, crunchy yum

Losing My Religion

lyrics here

Lots of REM
on the Classic Rock station
You'd think they were touring

Unlocked

a work-from-home day

Front door would not lock
Waited all day for maint'nence
Fixed in a minute

Happy Obama Day

woo-freakin'-hoo

Martin Luther King Jr Day 2009

an historic time

The tree King planted
Bears fruit this week with Barack
Still much work to do

Brrrr

3F is approximately -16C

Woke 'round 8am
Three chilly degrees outside
Winter's coldest morn

Belated Radio Days

does anyone else find this ironic?

It’s Howard's birthday
And Rush Limbaugh's birthday too
Thought you’d want to know

Mr Brightside

the killers (lyrics here)

I kinda like this
Why do songs loop in my brain?
This one’s not scary

Cats & Dogs

glad it wasn't snow

It rained all day long
Constant, driving, pouring rain
We’re all waterlogged

Dog On The Road

mmm…nitrates and petrochemicals

Driving home from mom’s
Wienermobile on patrol
It drove right past me

might have to ask my doc for a letter, too...

New puppy upstairs
"Emotional support" pet
Skirts the "no dogs" rule

a low key day in lululand

Wet, dreary Sunday
Everyone’s tucked in at home
I’m doing laundry

an icky interlude

Fuzzy greenish spots
Do not belong on cheesecake
Our dinner was comped

craig ferguson is a bad influence

Too many late nights
lead to late mornings at work
A vicious circle

never even made it to the courthouse

Jury duty - not
Phoned in daily, then dismissed
Done until next year

with hard times comes hunger

Our food banks need help
As need grows shelves remain bare
Please give what you can

Woof!
