Just shooting the poop with Lori

He travels the world on the backs of others
Insignificant in his stature and size
His journey carries no mission
Randomly roaming at the will of his host
Sated enough to never question his trek
Life is an open adventure without worry
If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls
Another bus awaits to grant passage
With a furry friend to carry him home
Ah the wonderful life of a flea

In response to "Back again"

Writing also has fewer calories.

Even short entries like this count. It keeps the gas from backing up and... well, no need to go there...

Hope you can check in whenever the urge arises.

In response to "Back on"

Post something on the Newsfeed that you're back. Folks don't read blogs like they used to.

Personally, my life has changed a lot in the last few months.

In response to "Songs"

Instagram, YouTube? I dunno. I want to write some stories placed in Thailand... maybe a screen play... complete with music in Thai/Lao. I've even sang some to myself (melody/images rather than words). My voice left me long ago but that shouldn't stop me from singing.

Yep. When the right ship passes by... you'll be ready.

In response to "Old Friends"

I wish... I was looking forward to my high-school reunion... but covid. I no longer live close to where I grew up. None of them live here. I have to rely on new connections.

In response to "Happiness"

I didn't connect well as a child. Never quite felt at ease in my skin and I wasn't taught how to get along.

So I've spent a lifetime working on connections. Sometimes it worked! No need to mention the other times.

I continue stumbling on my journey.

In response to "New York"

Glad you went.

I can imagine it would be overwhelming for the senses. I live in quiet and will need to adjust next time I travel. I mostly live in silence and that's not in my forecast.

I'm a bit jealous. I've never been. But as a world traveler I concur with what you say. Enjoy being with your daughter.

In response to "Games of the 60's and 70's"

Yes, I remember jarts. We were careful. I didn't play marbles. I came to dislike Monopoly. Later I learned to dislike Risk.

I prefered card games. I played to win. Of course, I lost as well.

In response to " RoboCalls from Work"

I'd be pissed and demanding to be paid for answering the phone! I worked 11 pm - 7 am. I did NOT works days. I did NOT work evenings. I slept 8-4 and told friends not to call me unless the house was burning down. I literally could not work if I didn't have enough sleep.

Some at that time thought we should have rotating shifts. The night crew adamantly said NO. My opinion? Rotation is an abuse and so are many schedules for police and hospitals. I've worked both. You want a doc or a cop who's worked 16 hours straight to look after you?

Gearing up

As we gear up for more viral insanity, and our days become lost in the sea of illness for 2020, please know we are doing our best. Nurses are people trying their hardest to help others and themselves survive. We are just as tired of 2020 as the rest of the world. If I had the power to write prescriptions to pass out to society...It would be for kindness, empathy, patience, and love. Such a powerful concoction it could be if used wisely!

Don't Call Me Hero

I didn't feel like a hero
For there just wasn't time
I didn't feel like a hero
For there were hills to climb

What is this word they banter about
Never said I was a Boy Scout

I didn't feel like a hero
For the virus was so abrupt
I didn't feel like a hero
For all I could do was suck it up

I'm ever a nurse and ever so strong
Though my days seem mighty long

I didn't feel like a hero
For I felt the trembling fear
I didn't feel like a hero
For my own concerns I shed a tear

Just doing the job I've always done
Morning, night, til break of dawn

I didn't feel like a hero
For cloaked behind masks and gowns
I didn't feel like a hero
For safety I limited my rounds

I"ll be here singing my nurse's song
Taking care of people where I belong

I didn't feel like a hero
.For I doubled my gloves
I didn't feel like a hero
For I prayed to the heavens above

I didn't feel like a hero
For I worried about my friends
I didn't feel like a hero
For just wanting it all to end

I'm no super-hero, but part of the best
With no flying cape will I be dressed

I didn't feel like a hero
For they needed me bedside
I didn't feel like a hero
For I cried when you died

One promise I'll make right from the start
Ever and always I'll give you my heart

What is this word they banter about

I'm ever a nurse and ever so strong
Though the days seem mighty long

I'm no super-hero, but part of the best
With no flying cape will I be dressed
