My Mind




There are wings
and things
of a viney sort
that twine,
and infiltrate my mind

They cling
and twist
like a violent fist
that finds,
inside my mind

A treasure trove
of light
and wit
a tiny spot
of hope
and grit
that thrives,
inside my mind




Soooooooo, new poem! Enjoy it, first new one I've had in a long time.

Along with the poem, you get a quicky update. The ankle is better, brace is off and I can use it as an ankle is meant to be used. In my case, that means I'll probably sprain it again in a week or so.

My cat Isis has been very sick lately, she had an inflamed liver. FInding out wjat was wrong involved taking her 45 minutes away to Ann Arbor and getting her an ultrasound and a liver biopsy. Said ultrasound involved shaving a good 1/3 of her body. I still think she hates me because of it. Also, I have to wrap her into a quilt every morning and make her into a kitty burrito so I can shoot6 2cc's of bubblegum smelling meds down her throat. She getting better though!

On the work front, I put in my two weeks from the canal boat. I finished the season like I said I would, but because of all thee shit that happened out there this year, I won't be going back in April. Not unless they make me, which they very well could. I'm still working at the Manor House and getting ready for Holidays... it starts next month. Ghosts is this weekend at the canal, so I'll be working a few very long days and hoping to GOD I have my script memorized.

On the personal front, still no dates. Bah to dates. However, in the past four months I've lost about 20 pounds. Wanna know what I'm doing right now? Eating mint Milalo cookies. Why? Because I could eat a whole effin pack and still lose weight. How can I do that? Because I'm on meds that are balancing the natural imbalance in my system. Fuck you PCOS, I have pills!

Only problem with losing weight is my clothes don't fit... and I hate shopping. Ah well, small price to pay ;)

There ya go. You've been updated and I certainly hope this takes care of your Amanda Addiction.

Later all ;)

Anyone there?

Yes, oh yes... I'm still alive. You people aren't getting rid of me that easily.

I have been a bit absent of late. For those of you who don't know, I had a minor accident at the boat..... again..... it did not involve fingers though! I just took a mis step off of the boat and sprained my ankle It was only a little sprain, mild bruising but not bad enough for me to not put weight on it.

Last weekend I went up to Bay City MI for a vintage Baseball game with the Westside Emeralds. They lost, but it was still a good game.. and the Grog on Friday night was really good. Sadly, it was the last reenacting event I'll be able to go too this year, work is gonna start picking up soon anyway.

More updates later, I promise ;)
