Four-thirty in the morning and the cursor is tapping its foot waiting for me to begin. Rifling through my thoughts, I find it is slim pickin’s. Oh, I still have the memory of the wasp stinging the side of my face, clear as the welt on my temple. I haven’t forgotten my very berry cream cheese crepe from IHOP I had for supper last night that just made my mouth water all over again. I could tell all about how I got lucky last night. But nobody wants to hear about that sort of thing. I’m ready for a refill on my coffee, and I still got nothin’ to write about. Even Winston’s snoring is boring this morning. It’s nearly five-thirty not long before it turns six and I start walking. I’m running out of time and words. Oh, it did rain last night. I would have slept through it, if it weren’t for Winston pawing at the bed to let me know there was thunder. The cat wants to come inside. The cat wants to go back outside. It is only sixty degrees. Perfect. I won’t sweat. The sky is streaked with gray, looks like it could rain some more. Maybe I should take an umbrella, or just wear my rain hat and a jacket. Decisions, decisions. It used to be so simple; to walk or not to walk. Now I have to make a weather related fashion statement. Or I could just wait, because it is so cool, until the clouds pass. Guess it’s time to get the ole’ girl in gear. Old T-shirt and shorts and my old tennis shoes and I’m ready to go. Winston knows the routine and starts dancing when I put my shoes on. One last sip of coffee and we’re gone. I just wish I could have come up with something to write about this morning. |

You write your life, that's quite enough, Lori. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

It may be boring to you, Lori, but when you write about it, it isn't boring to us. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Well that is good to know Jerry. I'll take your word for it. It was kind of fun rattling on about nothing. Thank you for your continuing support of my work. ~L |

Good Gosh Woman! If you can't find something to write about, write misc. thoughts, or unconnected randomness, or something terrible - not this balderdash that makes us yearn for the next line even before we've finished the last. Excitement is too trying on my old nerves, and gosh, Jerry's older than me, he probably can't sleep after reading this wonderful piece!! Have Mercy, won't ya, huh!! j. - forever |

Yes Yann, in the morning and if I was smart I would walk again in the evening too, after it cools off. Thanks for commenting! ~L |
