All‘s Well That Ends Well

Hope you weren’t listening, Murphy…

Seems like he’s always lurking about, but I digress–sorry, I had to say my favorite phrase. My internet, my WiFi, my new iPad unlocked finally–I’m in virtuality heaven. It only took days, hours, repairman, and borrowing my granddaughter’s laptop for it all to come together. I’m still deciding what I want on this beauty, and it’s fun.

But that’s not all folks, I have fantastic news! Spectacular, worry cancelling news, and isn’t that the best kind? No, Trump hasn’t fallen and broken his jaw or tweeting fingers; be honest, wouldn’t we all like to see that? Nope, that’s not it….I went in for my four year CT cancer scan and I am free, once again. Fate, the gods, Jon Snow, or maybe John Oliver had something to do with it. Whatever, whoever, I thank you.

Another useless fact – the moth at my door last week? It was a Sphinx moth, maybe it was a sign? I’ll take what I can get! Before I bore you to death with this drivel, I’m wishing you all a great week like the one I’ve had so far. Feel free to dance 💃🏼🕺🏻

FOWC: Label

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

While shopping for your dinner table

Ever stop to read the label

Of that extra special sauce

I doubt you do because. . .

“Simply” put is not the case

Ingredients we try to chase

Unless you have a google app

Deciphering what lies in the gaps

Such as this one on a sporting drink

That little soccer kids will drink:

Bold ones such as vitamins B3, 6, and 12

Sodium, potassium, calcium; then delve

Into the fine print, you will see

Water, fructose corn syrup, calcium chloride

Gum acacia and ascorbic acid to provide

For flavor and color protection

Makes you think with this detection

What exactly does your child need

And what ingredient labels you should read.

Energia Ka Akin ITA Chinese Room Divider Panel Screen High Relief Carved Webs

Shelly stepped back to admire her new purchase, a beautiful silkscreen room divider. It was absolutely perfect for that odd corner in her bedroom. What a deal, she thought, fifty dollars and its pure silk!

Shelly had been suffering from nightmares, thinking it had something to do with the apartment she bought. Another good bargain is what her thoughts were originally, but after residing here for two months, her sleep patterns were all over the place. Getting herself up and ready for work was becoming more and more of a struggle. Horrid dreams came every night, causing her to wake up in a cold sweat. In the morning mirror her face was ashen, her eyes wide and dark.
She noticed the dark corner was oddly shaped, nothing ever fit there, so purchasing the screen would hide it. She had tried a small corner shaped table with a lamp to freshen it, but after replacing four bulbs in the lamp, she gave up. The corner remained ugly and dark. Hoping the silkscreen would hide it, add some cheeriness to the room, she placed it there and sat back on the bed admiring her purchase. It didn’t occur to Shelly how odd it was that the corner table and lamp had worked in every other part of the room, just not this corner. She had a slight inkling the corner was unusual, but put it out of her mind.
This night Shelly lay her head on the pillow, hoping to get a good night’s rest. She hoped this every night since she moved in, but tonight felt different. Shelly dozed off gazing at the screen and the beautiful calming scenery it displayed. After a few hours she had another nightmare. She sat bolt upright seeing the figures in the silkscreen move and come to life. The scene turned from serene to violent as the human figures seemed to be beating off odd creatures, just like the ones she had seen in her dreams. Shelly thought this was the worst nightmare of all and pulled her covers over her head.
Surprisingly, Shelly woke up to see the face reflected in the bathroom mirror looking happy and her eyes bright. She thought of last night’s nightmare and realized she actually had fallen right back to sleep. Curiously she walked back and peered closely at the silkscreen divider. How strange she thought seeing those bucolic scenes come to life. Wow, what a dream!
Shelly spent the rest of her days in her new abode with no recurrence of nightmares, and lived happily ever after.
