After just over four and a half hours of sleeping I awoke sweating and barely able to breathe. My mouth was dry, my neck was sore and there was no air-flow through my nose.
I had fallen asleep on the couch watching television out of boredom because, at 2:09 this morning (the last time I had looked at the clock) I was still very much awake and did ( Read more... )

“Tell me you love me! If you really do, then tell me!” He yelled as though she were across the room, though she was only inches from his face. He was holding her arms and she was beginning to cry.

Eighteen minutes after nine in the morning. This is the second time I have been up today. My eyes burn, my back hurts and my stomach doesn’t feel right. I have to leave for work in one hour but it feels like one of those days where you just want to sit and stare and do nothing.

Nothing comes to mind but I’m in good company. Amy and I were getting to know each other a little bit ago, and even though I can’t think of my own stories, I don’t feel that far behind. Jimi is singing to me about a place by the sea. Later he told me about the colors of the rainbow.

She would have been 76 yesterday.
Even now she is one of the greatest people I know. It is a rare occurrence that a family get-together ever goes by without a story about her.

Icy rain coming down in buckets. It washes away what was left of the snow from the night before. The tree is up, two days into December. It doesn’t feel like X-mas.
It hasn’t felt like X-mas for several years. Ever since my father started slowing down. Ever since my we stopped getting real trees and started using the grandmas old artificial ( Read more... )

It is just after 8pm on a Saturday night. I’m bored, tired and already in my pajamas. ‘Tis a sad, sad day.
Slow music plays in the back round from a friend long gone but never forgotten.
