My response to the Leading Journal entry by Wendopolis for September 21, 2008. My mind is full of "Invalid Entry" thoughts at 1:48 AM or at least it was until I started composing this response. Now it's gone blank. Its dark outside and dawn is still about three or four hours away. I believe today is the first day of fall. I need to write an Haiku to celebrate the darkness or the first day of fall I'd better save this periodically because my Internet connection is yo-yoing this morning. I can count to 19 using the fingers of just one hand and to 95 using the fingers of both hands. I'm hungry, but I took my thyroid pill about 1:30 AM so I can't eat until after 2:30 AM. I bought a Sunday paper yesterday for the first time in over a year. 2008 has gone too fast. I will be 62 on December 24 and I want to celebrate this year. I've memorized the Tablet of Ahmad. My writing.com birthday is in October. I need to go make some coffee. I have 12 pain pills left in the bottle of meds the dentist prescribed for me. As soon as I can eat this morning, I'm fixing me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I'm going to put a packet of hot chocolate mix in with my coffee this morning. I need to clean out my e-mail boxes. I need to clean out my garage. I think my mind has just gone blank again. I need to finish the poem I started last night before I went to sleep. |
