Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count. And I found myself needing to change it recently to add details.

As you can see I made quite a lot of progress this week. unfortunately Much of it was yesterday and today I am feeling like I have overdone.

I am still healing. Yesterday I felt better than I have in at least the last three years. So, I fixed breakfast. I body doubled so my son could get some dishes done. I sat with him to help him do a chore I promised to do myself 3 months ago and flaked on. I was up and out of the bed all day. Which felt so good. And now I am in so much pain that just sitting here waiting for the meds to kick in is excruciating.

I will be moving slower today. I am likely to be napping at least some time today. And I have to give myself that grace because surgery was just a little bit more than a week ago. I want my body to heal.

However, I am feeling better.  So, that means that the surgery is worth it.

Now, I Do realize that my adjustments will probably open up questions. so I am not doing a book review tomorrow…instead I will post a Q&A ASk me anything day. see you tomorrow.

Well, I have been busy. My youngest has been helping me plan for my recovery. He has made it seem like I have nothing to worry about.

Due to the anxiety and stress tomorrow I’m not going to be able to get the review. instead I will post some of Serenity’s art. I will also be trying to schedule the week tomorrow…

oh BTW so far the new love poetry volume seems to be faery tale themed. not intentionally and I don’t plan to make it continue. but I found it amusing.

well I managed to get through the pad challenge. and as you can see I finished the Love themed volume.

this will be the next volume for love poetry. (some themes I feel like I need to keep a volume for.)

I had hoped Serena would be able to to bbe done with her volume by now but she still has 3 poems left to do. that’s probably going to be done by next week so I am sharing her next volume as well.

I only left kissed by Verse so you could see it was done. I will probably not have it or crypts secrets on here next week.

while I would like to plan on the poll for my nect volume I believe that will be after my surgery.

Stepping out of my comfort zone

Okay, I am the original wallflower…but I signed up for an online poetry reading. I don’t step out of my comfort zone often but there is supposed to be other poets reading….the event listing on Facebook is here.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 18

2026 PAD Challenge Day 18

my response is ( though late still )

according to the constitution
the definition of citizenship 
is either one born on this soil
or one that follows the rules 
and takes the tests to gain
the green card to become one.

if you stop them from getting the tests 
you stop the legal process for citizenship ...
this country was founded on immigrants 
the idea of immigration. the only non-immigrants were born here.

and even those were often 
children of immigrants.

I feel like the week flies by. I swear I just posted my count yesterday.

I have a couple of new medications.

I feel like though I am exhausted and still fighting with bronchitis (Joe’s been giving me nyquil so I can sleep)  I have done fairly well with my poetry this week. I got a little bit of words to the current works in progress.

I have been able to keep up with the Fae Corps Publishing PAD Challenge so far. I have looked daily at the writer’s digest prompts and found that none of them work for me this time. I usually do their pad. as long as I am writing I don’t care where the prompt is coming from.

Tuesday Tunes will be up this week, I know that I have been hit or miss where that is concerned.

my response is:

Keep using your artificial intelligence,
Though you know the consequences...
and when we live in a world without water 
what will you do then?

The art and words you seek 
can easily be gained from 
a human being with no effects 
to the environment,
but you don't seem to understand.
