I’m sitting here in my car in the parking lot at work looking at today’s daily prompt wondering what it prompts me to write. I arrive at work early. well, I leave the house early to avoid being caught in traffic. It’s amazing how leaving the house 5 minutes later makes such a big difference…

Daily Prompt: Triumph
I’ve been putting off going to my community garden with one excuse or another. But having the morning off today, I resolved to get it done. Grabbing my gardening tools and bag, I headed out. As expected, the weeds had run rampant and my plants were looking limp in the heat. After spending over an hour weeding…
Buff body? Let me hear your laugh first.
Some go for buff bodies and yeah they look good: the abs, the lean body blah blah blah. But what I really go for is laughter. Contagious, ringing out, hearty laughter. And I like eyes too but that’s a whole other blog. I will however quickly mention these guys: Michael Ealy, Bradley Cooper, Josh Lucas..I…
Morning sun
I clock in at work at 5am in the morning. If I time my first break just right (7:10 or 7:15am) and no one is seated at my favorite spot in the cafeteria, I am gifted by this view of the morning sun. I sit facing the window and just let the rays radiating from…

Tickled pink!
So if I appear too thrilled after a mere two days of sound sleep, that’s because I have been to the other side and found it to be much too painful. So yeah, I admit it, I am more than tickled pink today. I am about to turn my music on, turn it up and celebrate!
I did it!
Hey gals and guys, yours truly here just landed a job with normal hours after 7 years of shift work.
Insomnia
Some of my most panicked moments involve sleep or lack thereof. Currently, my sleep consists of mostly tossing and turning with sporadic bursts of sleep. It wasn’t always this bad. Granted, I’ve never really been an easy sleeper. But things seemed to get worse after I decided to take a hiatus from full-time work and spend…
