and Purposeful Prose
It's time for another mint tea tasting! In fact it's time for more rehydration in general. I experienced a charlie horse in my leg yesterday while sitting cross legged on the bed trying to juggle pencils. Yes, apparently pencil juggling is a dangerous sport when not fully hydrated. More fluids needed. This post's challenger is [...]
The best step that I've taken in these last couple of months was when I dropped my Sunday post. Shortly after this I decided I wouldn't read blogs on weekends as well. This has been really good for me. It's given me a chance to shut out all distractions and simply listen. One weekend I [...]
When Andrew was denied entry to the hospital he was sure that this would be a problem for me, so he spoke up. I didn't want there to be any problems. I knew things had to be this way, so I said to him, "It's Okay." It wasn't okay. I was okay in that moment, [...]
"The Pain Goes Away." Apparently I needed the words from the song I shared on Wednesday for more than one reason. Mid Wednesday I woke my husband up from his nap to tell him that I needed him to take me to the hospital. I'd talked to my doctor earlier on the phone who told [...]
Tuesday morning I woke feeling utterly lost. I had no sense of direction. I knew that I needed to make some changes to my blogging schedule (among other things), but for the life of me I couldn't solidify a game plan. We womenkind enjoy poking fun of the menfolk who stubbornly refuse to stop and [...]
To write or not to write, that is the question. Should I start the week off with something in my drafts, some poetry, or should I write about my week? Okay, let's start with where I am. That's a good place to start, right? For the most part April was a better than normal month [...]
Down in the Dumps Why do I feel so crummy? Down and oh so glummy I don't want to end this poem With a word like tummy or yummy. Drats… Tina S.W. May 1, 2020 May 1st May 1st? When did that happen? Only yesterday it was April. Ha… I like that one. ☺ Tina [...]
April 21, 2020 Today has been one of my better health days even though it started off really rough. I woke up feeling unwell, a bit glum and frustrated because I hate waking up feeling so run over. I was certain that this was going to be another one of those days where I'd accomplished [...]
I wrote this back in February. I almost threw out the baby with the bathwater again! It isn't that this piece is unpromising… It's just that it's still in progress. I added some up to date thoughts at the end. --- February 2020, *Groan* Last Thursday I stood in the kitchen and let out my [...]
Having Hashimoto's Disease means that my body doesn't cooperate as I would prefer it to. It's been this way for over a decade now. Tuesday night I woke up only a few hours after I went to bed. When I haven't slept well I can't function. I can push myself, but it tends to create [...]
