A gift comes from the person giving it.

But you are saying that you dont want THEIR truth. You want to define their truth FOR them. Literally, figuratively, metaphorically, every which way.

He doesnt even need to be there.

Where does this come from? What is this about?

Those last two questions are exactly why I met with R today, to figure some of that out, Think we got somewhere. Including ways I can try talking to my inner child (she had me picture her and got to hear about a small stuffed bear I had as a kid that, at one point, my dad ran over with the lawnmower. But my mom had a replacement).

More later--so tired right now.

Finally my drugs were delivered. I didnt want to miss hearing the knock, so i kinda waited by the door all afternoon. Its like the olden days, waiting for your crush to call, or the mailman to arrive. But now im set for 3 months, except for my monthly insulin which i have to pick up myself.

I had oatmeal for dinner and now i need a nap to destress from the anxious waiting.

Holy carp i just read about the CPAP machines lawsuit. I stopped using mine after the initial 3 months or so because i didnt like the idea of forcing shyte into my respiratory system. And now thats what they say theyve been doing, the internal foam carp. Dodged another bullet, this time in spite of my good dr, not due to. I used to tease-chastise him that he never gave me any drugs or stuff that i could get hurt on and sue for and make a million bucks and retire.

Just got a call from gyno, biopsy came back benign. She wants me to have the next one in 3 months again though. Somehow I don't mind, considering the rest of the news is good!!

LostOnTheTrail · Apr 30, 2024 at 10:31 AM

I'm so pleased for you, Artie.

It makes sense to keep an eye on things.

Glad to hear it Artie!

Today, in "yeah, no s**t" comments from Dr. T: "I think there might be paternal transference going on here."

We did actually have a fairly productive discussion about the meaning of the fish--virtual because I'm sick, but maybe that made it easier in some ways.

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 03:04 PM

Thanks Lost & LT!

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:27 PM

i never understood why some people get upset when you say "be careful" before they're about to climb a ladder wearing flip flops. or something equally as stupid. what would you prefer I say, "fall off and break your head"?

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:31 PM

Don't mind me. I'm just sad because I wish I could write the poems I want to be writing instead of the insufferable drivel that comes forth. Actually yesterday's was okay. But most of them, sucketh.

Maybe I shall become intoxicated and see if that helps. Heh.

My aunt broke her arm - like 20 yrs ago now, so she was in her 70's? - washing the outside windows. It was pretty life-changing in terms of her pasta-making. Not so easy with rods and pins in your arm. My mom never hurt herself doing housework!

This apple did not fall far from that tree!

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:40 PM

If nothing else, I do think that my insufferable drivel is less insufferable than it was when we started this challenge in January. So there's that.

Yeah I'll surely never have that problem either. Lordy you should see my office. It's a MESS. Actually my whole house is a mess. The only thing that gets done is the dishes and the laundry. paper is piling up, the floors need sweeping/mopping, I have no time or patience for anything but work and poetry. **** everything else. Ha.

Yes I already started on the wine about half hour ago

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:44 PM

I definitely subscribe to the theory that "a clean desk is the sign of a cluttered mind"

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:45 PM

oh! i checked in with the typewriter restoral guy yesterday and he said hopefully just a few more days. I can't wait to use it.

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:47 PM

"Artie the couch-spammer is up to no good this evening, posting her ******** feeling sorry for herself crap."

Do not stay tuned for video at 10.

You will need strong fingers. Its amazing how hard you have to push, compared to the feather tapping we do on a phone!

Yep that's for sure! I remember!

ArtieTheSequal · Apr 30, 2024 at 08:59 PM

On a cheerier note, a week from tomorrow I will be visiting with my son!

All of the “drivel” will help you become a better writer. Read more widely . Expose yourself to new experiences- then see how much you have progressed over a larger time frame.

Join more workshops. Do more exercises, experiment. Rip it up and start all over again.

If you want to write you have to write.

Not very original but I like both Pablo Neruda and Charles Bukowski.
