no one dared sleep, none dared to dream
costumes were readied to stave off the fear
as generations had done, year after year
but, alas!, alarm!, this Eve was changed
something this Weekend had come unchained
worn like a mask, carried like a treat
on this Weekend 'for Hallowe'en's Eve..."
aye, s'been awhile since I wrote much poetica, let alone shared it
the wintertide is upon us - by temp, if not by date... as expected, as usual, for this time of year *shivers*
BUT... we already survived a Friday the 13th this month where I never received my groceries ( *ooo!* scary, I know! )
and we've survived the many, many years prior of early wintertide, having lived in these northlands entirety of my life
...doesn't mean I have to like or enjoy it, though * winks *
elsewise, there's been a few oddities since my last posting, but nothing altogether so wild & weird that I haven't faced worse
hells, they just finally fixed my shower today... only took 3 1/2 days * sighs *
there's a lot the new mgmt needs to work on to get this apartment complex up to what it was when I moved in so many years ago
but, sadly, the same can be said of the entire Cities, and of big swaths of this state as well :(
some may even say of the entire country, but I have hope we can bring things out of the extremist & reactionary mentality that's become "the new norm"
( how I hate that term, there's nothing "norm" about it, let alone acceptable to society with any decency in mind )
ANYways... I hope everyone has a wonderful Eve & Weekend 'For Hallowe'en!
until next posting, Farethee well, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk - Keep Loving & Living Life !!
so much twittage ::
9/12 : mmm-kay, fb, I don't know where you even got the idea that I, allergic to over 40 vegetables & an anti-vegetarian in general, fit the criteria to have vegan site after vegan site "suggested for [me]" - and then you only allow me to 'snooze' said sites for 30 days ? the hells ?!
9/18 : Ah, what a day, so much to do, so much I can't say... literally, I woke up w/ a sore throat & barely able to speak ( otherwise I feel just fine )
EDIT : I still haven't figured out how to successfully sarcastically mime "let me consult my Dr's manual" when people ask 'why does your throat hurt' :(
9/22 : Whatever got me this week can't make up its mind: Mon sore throat, to Weds extreme fever, to now Fri stuffed sinuses... and random coughing throughout ( worst in the afternoons )
9/23 : as I was reminded: "dude, you get sick every year this time, we listen to your coughing for a week & bitchin' about sore throat & sinuses... he just had the flu, they have colds, so you just it worse this year" [...] "if it's covid, you've had it for over 10 fucking years..."
10/7 : if you can't tell the difference between heroine and heroin, you may have a problem...
10/13 : *sighs* that was f'd... grocery delivery set for 5-7... waited patiently (had late deliveries before) - zero contact... then around 8:30 get a 'delivered' e'mail... contact customer service, who can't get ahold of the deliverer, so get credited & set new delivery for morning :(
10/20 : dreamage : helping out people involved in a fire where I didn't get burned BUT my skin 'loosened,' re-attached 'successfully,' but days later I start bleeding and swelling whenever there's any kind of pressure to my skin ... weird as hell :o
10/20 II : strange eve... go to mow at Lodge & I end up having to convince a man that we're not a restaurant & I can't give him an application, then up pulls another that was adamant I'm the barber & "needs a haircut tonight," & then as I'm trying to simply get the mower started...
...a young autistic man starts walking right into the building, so I stop him & then he starts asking questions galore, leaves for a short time only to bring me flowers to identify, finally leaving by the time I have to go myself... but then he follows me halfway home !
