Roar? More like a pitiful mew.

Friday after turkey-day:

I'm super tired.

No reason for it. I walked to the grocery store for bread... and left with bread... a small miracle in and of itself.

On the way I saw a green scarf in the weaver's window. Looked just like mine. I went back upstairs to check... couldn't find mine. Went down and mentioned this. She said that it must be mine as it was found on the sidewalk. Yep. Mine.

So I should be happy. I spoke to 7 people today! Yesterday I just spoke to Bri when she knocked on my door. I didn't go out at all.

I'm unsettled. Nerves can't calm down until s.o.m.e.o.n.e has their twittering fingers silenced. And I'm bored. This normally vibrant city is boring me to death.

So I watched a Thai love story "Fighter and Tutor" at youtube.

And I made jojos (roasted potato wedges).

Even coffee doesn't help.

I'm listless and slowly giving up.

I wrote this before I saw the "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  prompt:

What’s on the top of your mind right now that you need to tell someone about?

That's about it. I'm not doing so great. And there's no one to tell.

A mini-review for "Space Blog"  of "A girl"  by Angelina Wilson

It's a really cute... and poetic... free verse with more/core/roar rhyming at the end. In this case less is more. It felt a bit like Shel Siverstein in length and message (and that is a compliment). A 4.7 because I'm sure it could use an edit ... but of what? (maybe replace 'suddenly roar' with 'stand up and roar' as 'stand up' is an action and 'roar' need not be intensified.) Regardless, it's delightful as is.

Prompt: Tell us about misjudging someone.

I'm sure I could if I could think. I've misjudged and been misjudged. It's rough to think someone cares ... when they don't and sometimes puzzling when they do. I've never figured it out.

In politics, many of us thought that Obama would lead us to the Promised Land. He didn't. And then when Trump got elected we thought maybe he isn't so bad and he'll grow into the job... he didn't and was far worse, a total frightmare.
