The Bag Lady

My notebook is my phone. I just wrote down notes for my doctor’s appointment on Monday. Everything of importance is written in the notes section of my phone. From books, authors, or musicians, to recipes, it’s there. I’ll get my Covid shot then but already had my flu shot months ago. I never have a big pain issue with vaccines except going in they burn. The worst burning was a long slow injection of penicillin years ago. Yikes! Stay healthy guys!

Haiku Fridays with J-Dub #28

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — November 6th

The helicopter came down close to the water fountain in front of the dentist’s office. Harry didn’t want to ride to his appointment because last time his horse lost a horseshoe on the cobblestones. The customers for nearby shops thought show off Harry’s copter was rude, all but George whose earwax made him deaf.

Can You Tell A Story In…

“He will not see me stopping here

to watch his woods fill up with snow”

the white soft flakes beautiful

singly patterned as they flow

lightly drifting on my coat

in coldness of the air they grow

seeing a cabin from afar

with lantern lit inside denotes

a Christmas scene below

I don’t stop to say hello

moving on to my own home

my landscape of trees in snow

inside I see no lantern glow

I have to make my own tableau

Closer now familiar trow

blankets of white I see and know.

sing it Harry, she said
sing it, Charlie
sing it Norman
I know you can
sing it, please, Mr. Lee
this choir can rock
so pull up your socks
let those voices out
do I need to shout?
sing it Paul
sing, you all!

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #111

Settling in the recliner, trying awkwardly to put her feet up, Sara thought, I don’t know why I’m struggling to do this, it seems the swelling doesn’t go down. Every day writing and the inspiration dwindling, Sara just doesn’t know if it’s worth it. Her schedule doesn’t change, in fact to take the necessary medicines, shaking them into her palm is so repetitive Sara wonders if she’d done it already and doesn’t want to double the doses. The cage of constant doing the same actions day and night keeps her wondering if she’s losing her cognizance. She lies back, and turns on the television to mindlessly watch a show she’s already watched.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #454

“I don’t care!” Stan yelled back to his coworkers. “I’m leaving it blue to celebrate and I’m not changing it! It shows a victory and if he can put up gold covered statues everywhere, he doesn’t control this fountain, I do!”

The rest of the staff secretly applauded his actions, but they knew as soon as the Trump loving boss came in, there’d be heads rolling.
