Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
Looking at this word, tried to guesstimate
What in the world is tessellate?
I’ve never been into math
Wasn’t in my schooling path
I only looked at geometry
With a curious stare like hydrometry
Math and science were not my forte
Secretarial skills were my specialty
Seemed to fit well with my personality
All’s well that ends well.

Caring for yourself and others – one mother’s story
It is Love
In the circle of his arms she became an incandescent creature, offering herself fully into his realm.

Writing this on Friday afternoon, a lot accomplished🧗🏻♀️: now have a brand new phone with insurance so if the washer event should happen again I am covered🤹🏻♀️; EFT for phone payment set up☑️; searching for a new small bed to replace my gargantuan king sized one**, paying bills and hoping Medicare🏥 kicks in for my two ER visits costing $1234, not including five meds to combat whatever this is, since I’m still coughing and have no appetite.😒The Stitches ER never submitted it even though they accept Medicare🩺 and Medicaid🙄. Murphy is still hanging around–I cancelled my prescription meds insurance🗓three years ago because I never used it-supplemental insurance I had was $190 per month, so of course years after cancelling I get pneumonia and need meds😳. Murphy is a pita!🧨
Other than whining in this stream, I am enjoying sunny days and visits with family, looking at freshly mown grass, my favorite smell, and life is good.☺️ Probably my least favorite word is “can’t”.
**shopping for a smaller bed frame with only a mattress and no box spring is what I want. The frame needs to be durable since my family says it needs to last. They think I’m immortal after dying twice and coming back. Family joke. So I guess a metal or fake wood will be my choice😂

Sunday Photo Fiction – July 16, 2017
“It’s being fixed up. I tell you, they’re selling it! I told you they would, it’s too valuable a location to just sit there.” Maudie’s voice trailed off as he looked closer at the building. It seemed to be in good shape, even though he knew the so called rumors were true. He’d seen it himself.
Gerald and Maudie were walking past as they did every day, getting doctor’s ordered exercise. It was good for them and provided a needed relief of their small environment at home. Maudie meant well, he thought, but her constant vigil of the neighboring activities would become so tiresome to him, he longed for the fresh air. Walking kept her breathing and talking at the same time to a minimum, therefore the relief.
Each day the route differed a bit, but going by this building was always included. Even seeing it today, appearing perfectly normal, his mind couldn’t forget that night. The burned marks cleaned, the windows glassed again, the wood under repair. All evidence of the intentionally started fire were gone. But he remembered. The vision of stretchers carrying the old ones, charred. Even the smell lingered. He would never forget.

MLMM Photo Challenge #374
Drowning in my old fashioned beliefs
I raise a withering hand in protest
Only a miracle will save me–save all of us
My mind’s vision is clear
Soon even that will succumb to the persistent tide.

Poem: Feigning Peace
REBLOG: TJS writes my thoughts
I try to be still Becoming water Like glass smooth Unperturbed surface Hiding the tremoring In the depths hidden Where the emotions Live roiling in a boil That I contain here With a slight smile Quiet balancing What should be Said out loud Swallowed in Silence
dVerse Poets – Chant – Politics
People purpose putrid personalities providing patented prejudiced polluted perceptions.
Morose maliciousness manages mighty marauding mainly manufactured misconceptions materialized.
Sweet states suffer shoddy soulless symbolic sedentary spokespersons, self serving sterile salespeople, stakeholders speaking sideways solutions.

Three Line Tales 7-15-21
The lure of candy was no longer viable with all the new health concerns.
Thinking a few decorative lights would attract her prey, the witch left them on day and night. Pushing aside the curtain, she spied two children approaching, seemingly fascinated by the bright display.
The old crone started licking her lips as she opened the door.
