Drama

Admissions and accusations. Innocence is not proven - now what?

Hulk smash. But then what?

I pretended to have changed, she’d pretended to be hurt in the first place.

Run away and there?


A viscous drop stretches from the baseball bat in my hand.  I don’t even own a mitt.

You stand opposite. A clump of hair on yours.

It’s for the best,” your plastic mask mouths as we swing methodically,

finishing off our pimply teenager of a marriage.

Sleepless

I have a special relationship with sleep. It brings me delightful tales and feelings and never lets me down.  I love it back with all my heart.

Not last night. I greeted it with a usual satisfied nod, comfortable in our routine meeting. But it shoulder-checked me and disappeared into the babbling crowd of my thoughts.

The dogs were restless, too.

2012 resolutions

2012 is here, so...
This year I will spend less time tearing myself to shreds over trivial bullshit and set aside the deserved guilt long enough to look ahead. 
I will not make resolutions I have no intention of keeping.
I will cut back on apologizing for small things.
I will offer a heart-felt, sincere "mea culpa" when it matters.
I will spend too much time watching TV and love every second of it.
I will diet only long enough to re-discover how delicious food is when you're truly hungry.
I will tell all the people whom I love that I do.
I will stalk down and reconnect with at least one friend from at least 10 years ago and let him/her know how important he/she has been in my life.
I will give anti-depressants a solid try.
For at least a week, I will exercise frantically and congratulate myself for my perseverance.
I will buy my husband something completely unnecessary that he wants and give it to him on a regular day - not on a special occasion.
I will moisturize.
I will antagonize my yorkie every chance I get because her death rage is adorable.
I will not dwell on the negative.
I will not dwell on the negative.
I will not dwell on the negative.
I will learn to cook at least three new dishes.
I will go somewhere warm, by the big water, for at least a couple days.
I will stop looking for the big meaning and find joy in small things.
I will look at this list at the end of 2012 and will be disappointed with myself.
