my gall stone
I forgot to tell y’all about my gall stone. I found out all the details when we did the sonogram.
Because I believe in doing things well, my gall stone is very impressive. The sonogram technicians gasped in awe when they beheld its grandeur.
If my gall bladder were […] Continue Reading…
I’m home sick today.
Every time I’m home sick, I do the same thing. I think about all the errands I could get done. I get ready to do them. Then, I feel sick. I realize I’m home because I’m too sick to do anything. I feel annoyed that I […] Continue Reading…
ok
I loaded the dishwasher, put on some laundry, put on a bra, fed my kids and vaccuumed the whole apartment, and then I wrote my piece. Now I’m resting. In a little bit, I’ll go back and revise.

I have to get ready for a show.
I have a pretty big show today and I’m not ready.
I got all the other readers to confirm that they will, in fact, show up. I made the programs, set the order, collected bios. The Chronicle says they’ll be there. It’s already […] Continue Reading…
