Refusal

Sour grape vapor permeates Whitehouse halls

As the master balks and stalls

While doughty Biden officials have waited

And Thanksgiving gobble is abated

The motif is hardly new

A temper tantrum will ensue.

The Battle Against Bitterness

Progress and a new book! REBLOG!

JamisonWrites.com's avatarJamison Writes

It’s hard not to be bitter.

In the macro sense, it’s hard for me because, well, my life hasn’t turned out the way I imagined it would. I’m 32 and haven’t walked in more than five years, I’ve been through intense physical and emotional trauma, and because of my illness, I haven’t been able to get married or have kids.

In the micro sense, I find it hard to not be bitter mostly because some people suck, especially online. Whether it’s someone saying something mean about me, or an editor rejecting an essay that I pitched, or just an innocuous comment that I take the wrong way. It’s all there, and it all sucks.

So how do I deal with it? Usually I sulk for a few days and eat several large bags of tortilla chips until the part of my brain that says none of it really matters prevails…

MLMM Wordle #216

I should have known this doorway would prove unsafe. I didn’t ask for much, really, I was only wanting a new thread of love in my life, a message to myself to reflect on and savor during a lonely time, to keep adrift–a reason to live.

No experienced goddess of love here, not in this form, only a catalyst to another plane. I didn’t realize that it would open something frightening and bludgeon any hope I had left.

Online ordering- 🙄😳😂

I received this today as I cannot find locally, the Chicken of the Sea brand tuna in water. I thought the three cans were the small version but not this small! The three can package is about 6″ tall. What a riot! So much for reading the fine print…at least I got a chuckle out of it😂

These days you have to take humor where you can find it😉

Anyone else?

The Monday Peeve is this: I receive emails from the blogs I follow and now they ALL have this on the top…so irritating!

I am sick of seeing it on every email. Get a clue WP! If I wanted to take the deal, I got it the first 100+ times! It’s bad enough we endure ads on sites, but from WP itself on email? 😳🙄😡

Trump downfall

It’s no figment of your imagination

You lost your crown

With your constant belittling roar

The fault is all yours.

MLMM Wordle #214

I couldn’t sleep in the hotel room. The sun streamed in over sunflowers on the window sill, such a charming sight as I awoke, my heart began to flutter. Last evening, my sub conscious mind, my Venus, might have thought his impassioned efforts were worth the pain. He seemed a sortable person at first, so debonair, so handsome, I was immediately drawn to him. I thought I would practically salivate at the vision of him.

It was only in the morning light as I rubbed my sore red wrists that I realized what he really was.

Playing catch-up with the Wordle, one of my favorite challenges. I had to refollow MLMM.
