More than a little
Posted on | August 8, 2005 | 6 Comments
She’s not here for much longer, this mother of mine. And I extended invitations to many, with only a hint of a reaction. It’s sad, really. I painted the many in colors that only a few deserve to wear. I didn’t have a reason as to her questions of “why.” I only had to assume it has something to do with me. And more than a little it hurt. I see where the priorities are, and at this point I am refusing to chase friendships.
But, we shall see some of you on Tuesday.
Our porch fan is the best money ever spent, I think. I’m cruising through Harry Potter with ease. Today Mom heads to Brooksville to deal with some family trauma, leaving me alone at home without a car. Not a big deal, really. I have books. I’ve got the internet. I’ve got D on the other line… I shall entertain myself. I have a new set of headphones for the iPod so I can
Her belated birthday presents included: a blender (which matches our other silver appliances), a fan for the porch plus extension cord, and clothes. All will be put to good use.
I got some pretty pictures of the sunset from the porch the other night. I was facinated by the shade of lavender that painted the sky. I felt like I lived in a classical work of art. The images I stole from the eve fail to do justice to what I felt and saw. But for a moment, my life was crowned in purple, and I was more than a little content.

- @KL_Grady way to be fucking charitable. I think it paid for her bad face lift. She should donate 1/2 of her money to Planned Parenthood

- @KL_Grady Yeah. I think they are more in love with their symbol & trademarks than they are in actually HELPING women.
- That's nice and all, but I think I'll let them keep their pink ribbons. I need to educate myself a lot more on who I donate to.

- I was up at 4:30 this morning to finish up a project for work. Now I'm at work and need a nap. What kind of crazy person gets up that early?

It is all one could ever want.
Enjoy your downtime babes, give Mom a hug for me, tell D “Arrrrrr!”, and of course make baby voices to the babies.
See you soon.
