Autobiography in Five Chapters


Autobiography in Five Chapters

1) I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

I fall in.

I am lost…I am hopeless.

It isn’t my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

2) I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe I’m in the same place.

But it isn’t my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

3) I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

I see it is there.

I still fall in…it’s a habit

My eyes are open

I know where I am

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

4) I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk

I walk around it.

5) I walk down another street.

Today was a busy one. Trip to Columbus to take another load to Channa's new apartment. And then drove Chloe to the park to hang out with James.

I bought my pansies, my first new plants of the season!

Today was just so busy...trip to Columbus with a load of things to Channa's new apartment and then a trip to the Park for Chloe to hang out with James. I did some 'baby' shopping for my grandbaby. I found real diapers! :)

I hope this week will have some time for some more knitting and sorting time.
