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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Nights

Long time no blog peeps. It has been a rough week with work and no sleep. Pulling the every other night schedule is intense. People who do not work nights will never understand the strain on the body and soul of the nurse trying to flip from days to nights at the drop of the hat. i am zombie-like most of my hours. Hoodies and sweat pants are my friends. Prepare to be blasted with a foghorn if you ring my doorbell before noon. My dogs have a very specific elimination schedule based on my sleep cycles.I have never managed to train my family members about calling while I sleep I have received calls at ten in the morning asking why I am still asleep. At that point I have been snoozing for only one hour and it is always a toss up on whether my reply will be printable material. Night-shifters are a different breed. We may seem like cranky crustaceans but if you befriend us we are tried and true loyal pals til the end. I have yet to meet one of us who carried a stick in the nether regions while we walk!
