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.

1 Decaying thoughts

2 searching for self

3 glass houses

that’s the order so far but I am willing to take votes  until I get finish with forgotten Knowledge . so if you haven’t voted lrt me know .

The Usual poll

Okay I usually do a poll when I hit 50+ poems in a volume. I always pick 5 options. Pick your favorite for my next volume. I will go with the one that gets the most votes…Due to my surgery I may or may not be longer getting to the new volume…not sure here. either way I will know which one to start next.

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.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 29

My Response Is: 

Here I sit for all to hear
Singing my history,
In hopes that I am not the only one
that learns lessons from it.

for forgotten history is repeated,
and repeated history is nothing but tears.
So, I will sing it as loudly as my voice allows.
I will sing it as often as I may...
And I will hope that I am strong enough
to keep the memories alive
and history at bay.

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.
