It’s odd. Elder Sister turned 60 this week. It brings home just how close my own sixtieth is, and how much time I’ve already experienced. I can’t find any original words to describe the feeling this inspires, which is as profound, bittersweet and incredulous as any I’ve experienced. How did it come to this? Reading…
W.P. 1991?-2011
Three of us went to the vet clinic tonight. Two of us came home, leaving a large piece of our hearts behind. Sometimes doing the right thing hurts like hell.
Cars, Crawfish and Cats
Last week The Prof’s car started making some truly formidible noises, so he ran it in to the local service shop. There was a problem with the belts, and because of the way his car is put together it would have been a $1,000 plus job to fix everything correctly. He elected to have the…
Wasted day.
Last night I called and cancelled my seminar, called work to say I’d not be in at all, took my sleeping pill, and crashed. It felt so good I may just take another one tonight. I do plan to go to work tomorrow though. I have no further days off to take. Today was spent…
Pali, Pali, Quite Contrary
How does my garden grow? Well, considering I still can’t bend over to weed, and it takes about fifteen trips for me to water the garden by hand because I can’t fill the watering can more than half-full (it’s too heavy for me to lift, otherwise), I’d say the garden is doing very well. I…
Prius in the news.
Reality hits on road to hybrid heaven I definitely have to look into that federal tax deduction for purchasing a Prius. Between the car and my medical bills, this is going to be a complicated tax year.
"On the day Agnes died…" Is this Nadia? The name threw me for a loop when I thought another character was being introduced.
I like it though!
Alli
I was going to make the same comment as Alli….
I also enjoyed it! I don’t know that I could have done that. I tend to ramble on and never get to the point. Great job!!!
Megan
I liked it too! It drew me right in.
Damnit, still can’t access your friends only entries :(.
Ah, those ARE a lot of constraints!
AND having to name the characters in meaningful ways…. could set me off into the looney bin.
I ALREADY have a hard time naming in my stories….
But it’s true, writing to parameters DOES make you stretch. Paramiters? Paramaters?
Specific requirements! There!
Hope you get a good grade.
Very nice. Well done. I like the name Nadia. My bf’s father died of Leukemia. Some rare form not discovered until it was much too late to do anything about.
Best of luck with your writing class!
I too liked it, however it does not "feel" you are writing this.
I love your usual style…long, rambling and stops along the way about all the little interesting facts you normally *ramble* about.I love it when you stop us readers in mid sentence to smell the roses.
I was left feeling *I want more*. Does that make sense? Sort of got the bread without the filling.
I echo what Elf said.
