Caress
Jagged
Ruthless
I thought I might capture the last five days with three word Wednesday!
Day one
Ruthless taxman badgers
Zero balance staves off threats
Exhale
Day two
Family Birthday Celebration
Console, caress the heart of a daughter
Whose mom died four days before Christmas
Smooth the jagged edge of another
Plagued with emotional fiscal conundrum
Day three
Dinner date with brother
Reminiscent, stimulating conversation
converges into a web of ponderous thought
Married with intermittent sleep, hot flashes,
early trek to the airport coffee in tow on Day four
followed by a ritual Denny’s breakfast with Son-in-law
the wee hours before dawn
errands bleed into sunrise
A short nap interrupted by feverish hormonal moment
Lovely lunch out with a friend, laughter,
Blissful chatter, more laughter,
Crispy winter sun beams on the day
Exhaustion beckons a third attempt at rem,
Three hours of slumber tick generously by,
awakened by an evening alarm
More errands, snow warnings, dinner, short conversation
Fourth attempt at sleep, hot flash alert, awakened to snow
Day five
Chores, a few conversations, prepare dinner, relax
Back to the airport Tuesday evening coffee in tow
Chatter, fall asleep on the couch, awaken …HOT AGAIN
Frustrated by a creative block and depleted energy
Succumb to rest…..

very well done for having a block.
Well told! Stretched, stressed and sleepless. Very nice!!
artistic way to catch us up on your last 5 days! hate to hear the mental pause is cracking down on u again. but the laughter throughout makes me know that you can handle anything that comes your way.
hopefully you've been able to sleep since then and feel much better!
I miss u!

Emotional week Sherrie. I'm having my hormone levels checked and will work on getting them in normal ranges. I refuse to suffer peri-menopause any longer. Rest sweetie! HUGS
I tend to do the same thing when I'm stressed, but mine comes out in compulsive reading! Hours and hours of reading. Guess what I've been doing!?
Giggles,
I wish you MUCH rest, MUCH deep sleep. Those hot flashes, I've heard, are a &*&^!!#!,
Whew! Even if you weren't lacking sleep, your interesting description of these days where you also very creatively wove in "3 WW", gave me a workout!
Thank you for your kind words about my collage. Thanks to you, I fixed it to post the one you liked, which was the version I meant to post! you commented.
