Oh, that's not nice .. Don't be ashamed of that. Have you asked your dentist what they could do? I know it's all costly. If i was a horse, no one would buy me. Several missing teeth, lots of fillings and root canals. The tooth that broke was an uncapped root canal. So the doc said, I'll fix it, then we'll send an estimate in for a cap, and we'll fix it properly. I hate to think about how much the teeth i have actually cost. It's going to be a scary amount. Michael's insurance may cover some of it or I'll just have to pay for it. I sort of need this one. lol I guess i know where the tax refund is going..lol

I'm doing okay. I'd just been to the dentist for a cleaning and check up... my teeth are awful.. Partly because of years of neglect and terrible diet and like my old dentist said, some people's teeth are just not the best, no matter what you do. I finished Keve's Story the plumber from The Shape of What Remains, a reader asked me about that, and it just worked. I'm working on a couple for the anthology as well. So, we'll see what i come up with.

Not been in the best headspace... couldn't even pick up my knitting for the last 3 days... then i broke a tooth which was repaired yesterday while the estimate of the real cost to fix it comes back in 3 to 4 weeks. So, eating is a problem. I couldn't write either except for a poem, but did a little yesterday and hope to do more today. Hope you're all doing okay.

Indecision, Today Today, my hands are full of nothing. A thousand doors stand open, each one asking for my name. I stand in the kitchen, there are kettles, keys, phones, shoes none of them function until I use them. The clock does what clocks do relentless, as my mind makes a mess out of ordinary minutes. I try on futures like coats too bright, too thin, too warm and leave them hanging This isn’t fear, exactly. It’s 'what ifs' drowning out 'yes'.

It is Morse Code Day. So: .... .- ...- . / .- / -. .. -.-. . / -.. .- -.-- .-.-.- I was up before noon again today...that's two days in a row. Promising right? Going to take a walk and have a look at the back yard see what's happening. Grass doesn't need cutting yet. Then i'm going to try and get some writing done. Maybe finish off the second part from The Shape of What Remains with any luck. Pork tenderloin and fixings for dinner. I made the potatoes yesterday, so just need to make some veg. The pork goes in the air fryer. Enjoy whatever you get up to today.

He's a star. Mine cooks once every two weeks when He orders two medium pizzas and we freeze one for the next week. LOL But He has other qualities.

yeah i have a few things that are partially done and one that's complete.. i'll see what the theme is or what the details are and take it from there.

Weird fact of the day: Australia is wider than the moon. Today i managed to get out of bed before noon (yesterday was 12:39pm). We decided not to get up at 8:30am and sleep in, well, we did that for sure. Today we got up at 8:30, like normal people. I have been able to get some writing done. I may have a couple of stories for the anthology. I'll see how i feel about secret author... i don't find it a good experience usually...all because of me, nothing else, so i may not put myself through that again. We'll see. i'm a masochist, so…a sucker for punishment. LOL Have a good day everyone.

i like messing around in the garden...it really was Danny's thing and well, i'm going to try to follow the plan he made before he died. It's good to write anything every day. Practice makes perfect as they say ... and while i may not write on a current story, i do try to write something. Think of things around you... write about the apple tree in your neighbour's yard or how a train whistle makes you feel. Just write and sometimes either now or even later your unconscious brain will have a story for you. That's how i wrote After the Past and The Searcher ... each was just a page then a few years later when i went back through my notes, the story was in my head. Just write. And enjoy your garden too... xo

i am a bit tired of it, but it's nearly finished. Then i think i will buy a yarn winder, cuz i have a lot of wool hanks that need turning into cakes and i'm not sure i have the energy (will) to do all of them by hand. Thanks for reading this and putting up with my DIY adventures. xo

i hope you will write again soon...it's frustrating when the words won't come. Something most of us go through. i watched something about writer's block from Stephen King, who has no silly answers like 'oh my muse is missing' etc. He said he just writes 2k words every day. I don't think he meant that they were necessarily for a story or a current story. That's an interesting exercise. I try that sometimes and weird things can happen. I like to begin with a sentence, or idea. I'll give you one...What would happen if you woke up and found a flamingo on your lawn? So, write what would happen. You don't have to share, just have some fun. Thanks for reading this and your comments. I look forward to your next poem and story.

Lol...i guess i have been a bit quiet lately. Today is sunny and the trees are starting to get green. Soon i'll be wishing for winter cuz its so hot and promising that i will not complain about the cold. LOL. Yeah all we can do is the best we can. Have a good one and thanks for reading and your comments.

I have ordered house maintenance for dummies...thanks for the suggestion and for reading this. No, it's not a straight line. I kinda do what i want every day, though cooking/making food, is a requirement. i'm looking forward to some of your writing... Again, thanks for reading and your comments.
-
Thanks, chris. Reading is good. Does your husband cook, or do you guys go out a lot?

*** Boredom is a new companion there, like the weather Before me, a blank page, an unknit hank, waiting for me to use it. Restlessness brings anxiety like a worm under the skin nudging me toward yarn and words, then running off when I get near. I cast on socks in the round, heel stitches picked up, the yarn in my lap. Then an endless road of a scarf and matching hat, The sweater needs both courage and math. The small toy fits in your palm stitched-up wi

Happy Friday. Here's a weird fact ... Water might not be wet. This is because most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other objects wet. Have a non-wet day if at all possible.

2026 Poetry Anthology - Choices - **Wrap-up**
Mikiesboy commented on Valkyrie's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I thought all the poetry posted for this antho was very good. Thanks to all the poets, those who supported us and to the organizers/GA Staff who made this happen. -
Geez, could you drive to the Netherlands and take a ferry? I know it's not exactly a short trip to drive there. But maybe you'd actually arrive. Assuming they have fuel.

Yes, it was good. There was a lot leftover (no meat) so today we added chicken from the freezer and served it over a blend of rice, lentils and quinoa. There's still more left. I will likely add curry powder etc and chicken and we'll eat it with some additional veggie like roasted cauliflower.
