Afoot & Free Stuff

WARNING:  THIS POST IS LIKELY TO MAKE LITTLE SENSE

Why do I like that word?  With the landscape turning and what not, changes are afoot!  Overwhelming as they may seem, I still go to the conventional prescription, take a dose of ‘there are so many people for whom it is so much worse!’  Oh well.

This self chatter does not help me with the tasks at hand. Ah but there is always another dialogue pressing its ear against the door!  ‘you have had plenty (pronounced PUH-lentee) of time, you should be much farther along, not so much farther (or is it further) back’  This diatribe isn’t packing up for me and propelling me on to a life.  Recollections take the next opportunity to march their little asses into my room. ‘oh lucy you are strong, you can get through anything.’  Hmm. Thanks, that has been WICKED helpful too.  I suppose my inability to clearly (pronounced KUH-leer-lee) express myself is the seed of the root.  Afterall, it is my mess, yes, messy me who has indeed accepted way messier individuals into my life at face value, never with thoughts of consequence.  The title dumb ass springs to mind.  Ah yes, then the deepest whisper from way back in one of those corners… your place on the earth has healed you, but (sudden loud, raucous clattering with buzzer) DING DING DING your time has RUN OUT!! You failed the testing of the emergency broadcast system.   all the floundering and yacking and puffing and idea generating and questioning and what abouts and did I not say it loudly enough before?  free stuff announcement to follow
