It's said
In days before
The #number
Of #merrow
Started to #plummet
One could sit
On the rocky coast
At any hour
Of the gloaming
And watch them
Crawl out onto shore
Singing for men
The sparkle
Of their #stare
Luring the weak
To a watery doom
In bed, 11 at night, pitch black, all's quiet, almost asleep, dog snores, mouse squeaks, 8000 geese do a low flyover honking and screaming...

What is happening...?

It's now winter, right? All of the geese are flying south...right now...

Having now got into my bed, I cannot fathom at all how or why I got out of it this morning and mortally fear the prospect of ever having to do so again.

If you're gonna live off-grid, have back up systems for your back up systems...

Sigh.

Well...gee.

It's a trifecta.

Not only are we scrounging meals from limited pantry items and giving up shifts at work because we don't have gas money until payday, our generator died today so we have no power.

Glad I have 4 dogs because its gonna be a cold night without heat.

$10...loaf of bread, dozen eggs, block of cheddar, and a bag of sugar.

At least I can make an egg salad sandwich for lunch tomorrow.

Sigh.

It was all
A #myth
You and I
A life
Not lived
Feelings
Of love
And belonging
Wiped clean
Words
Written
In chalk
A whim
Blown away
In the storm
Of reality

Oh yay. Snow and ice. Just in time for my morning drive. Well isn't that ducky...

I feel like I'm on one of those cooking shows where I was handed a random bag of food and now I have to make meals for a week. This will be fun...maybe...My check went to pay bills. The other check is delayed by a week so groceries were not purchased. 😬 Just hoping my gas holds out to get to work.

Transitioning to a modified pescatarian diet, hold the dairy. Tonight's offering - acorn squash stuffed with cous cous, white beans, apricots, pumpkin seeds, and spiced pecans with a salad on the side. I'd add some bread but I think we'll have enough carbs otherwise.

The #shape
Silhouetted
Against the green wall
Wasn't much more
Than a #slight bump
How anyone
Found her
Laying there
Half-conscious
Was a miracle

The Reverend stood before the crowd. "Who among you is worthy is be our next #ascendant and rise for the glory of us all? Hester Sue? Jacob?" he inquired. He gestured to a nearby cloth covered table. "I assure you the knife is sharp. The cut will be swift. A sacrifice must occur."

Writing a scene I didn't want to write today...only got 900 words. Ugh.

Too much going on in life and the world...sigh. Feeling a bit sad and disenchanted.
November 11, 2025 at 1:50 AM
I don't want to write this scene...so I'm procrastinating... maybe I'll take a nap and let it percolate a bit.

It's...it's thundering...in Maine...we never have thunderstorms. It's so loud.
