flashpoint

sometimes one needs to wipe the blackboard of their mind and start over.

oh dear, what is that food substance ground into my pants, and why did i only just notice it? oh dear.

i realized today, if i don't make my bed immediately after waking up i'm far to partial to getting back into it later. i came into my room and saw it in it's comfy, warm and unkempt state, then i squealed with delight and got back inside under the covers. it was heavenly. and the fact that it was forbidden made it even sweeter.

i think that brief rendezvous with my single bed, set my morning routine back by 10 minutes. in my lateness (or potential lateness) for work i neglected to put in my earrings. i can honestly say that upon realizing that my earrings were absent, my stomach flipped in nausea. i experienced an element of separation anxiety. i realize that's silly, but i feel so naked without them, and the thought of working all day without them made me very uncomfortable. i felt as though my lobes were exposed and suddenly grotesque. hahaha. how ridicules! but true nonetheless.

i bruise really easily. and i injured my ankle really badly the other day. so badly that it sometimes aches when i'm sitting or lying down. i'm assuming the bone is bruised, and nothing can be done about it. i'll just suck it up.

my reach don't go that far dear.

i too must make my bed upon waking in order to resist the temptation to climb back in...

and i feel naked without my nosering.

flashpoint?

perhaps you should stow a spare pair of earrings in your glove box or in your hippie bag? just for those moments when it might be necessary.

i haven't taken my nosering out since i got it pierced for the second time. i should be fully healed by now, it's been over a year and a half. funny how we get attached to such things.

i did consider keeping an extra pair in my desk at work, but the problem is i'd probably just wear them home and then forget to bring them back.

I have not removed my eyebrow ring, even once, in nine years. I can't even imagine how it would feel to take it out.

I hope you've been happily reunited with your earrings!

all has been set right again in the world :)

get your ankle looked at--if it's the real thing and you don't get it taken care of, it's going to come back to haunt you ... over and over again. "sucking it up" (or just being lazy) is how i've cultivated all my many chronic ankle/knee problems.

this is also one of the great mysteries of my life.
