- There is no better sound than the rumble of a cat’s purr
- Because she snuck into the bedroom and is in there with everyone else
- So pleased with herself
- Most nights she is put out
- Because if we don’t get up when she’s ready at 4:00 am
- She starts knocking things off the bedside table
- My 94 year-old mother is now in an assisted living apartment
- Too many falls at home
- Still self-defined as a nurse
- Grappling with the fact she’s not an administrator
- Lots of old people in here she says
- But don’t worry
- I know how to talk to them
- I am considering becoming an activist
- What do you think?
- Should I start sending emails for people to roll their eyes at?
- A&W
- Good organization and I drive the kids through there sometimes
- Because they give a lot to MS
- Which my high performing daughter, their mom, has
- Back on topic
- There is a Mama, Papa, Teen, Baby, Uncle, Grandpa and even a Buddy burger
- So where’s the Grandma burger?
- Or the Aunt?
- Where are they I asked?
- Who do you think is in there making the burgers said my middle granddaughter
- 4,000 years of human history
- Summarized
- Don’t get me started on the fact that the coffee thermos my husband ordered for me
- To match one a kid bought him and keeps coffee hot for 27 days
- Well he ordered one for me too
- In pink
- Turns out it holds half a cup less
- For the same price
- When I have straightened out this burger issue
- I’m onto them
- Huge excitement around here
- A pair of Blue Jays has decided to build a nest in the shutters beside our front door
- The cat is exhausted
- Nearly fell off the back of the couch
- Couldn’t keep her eyes open
- Maybe now she will sleep in
- My husband installed a webcam so he can watch them all day
- Everyday
- Up close
- Considering re-routing traffic to the back door out of respect
- This is a project for everyone
- My first novel is finished
- Off to the editor and then I’ll put it out
- A product of someone who sat in her chair with her dog
- And made herself laugh
- Writing fiction is a place for me to put things and people I have noticed
- And enjoyed
- I don’t like the idea of what I appreciated knocking around inside my head
- Unacknowledged
- In a month or so
- If you are interested in receiving a free advance copy
- In return for a review on the retailer’s site of choice
- Let me know (babsemodi@gmail.com)
- I can imagine the reviews now
- This reads like it was written by a woman who sat in her chair with her dog all winter
- Waiting for the bluejays
- Which would be true
