Happy Non-Mother's Day

Friday, May 10, 2019
sitting in my home office, i'm patiently waiting for the telecom agent to write back to me. i'm on a "chat hold". from time to time,  the bottom of the chat screen reads Agent is typing. i don't want a data plan on my phone...i'm strictly a talk and text gal, and agent sherwil is investigating and providing me with explanations. turns out...

Walk it off

i have a bieber song in my head. it's been stuck there since the morning with the refrain "sorry" repeating itself like a broken record. i give credit to the kid - the song has a catchy tune, but i'm no bielieber. and with the mood i'm in right now, it's not improving my emotional state. i think of poet Kim Rosen and her teachings. i suspect there's something...
