Sinusitus, Writing

My blog posts have been few and far between because of this sinus pressure my face has been holding onto especially last week. It pretty much kept me unable to do many of the things I would’ve liked to do: writing, blogging, exercising, etc. My head feels like it’s in a fog and my eyes…

Random Thoughts, Writing

I live with someone who thinks I should listen to more music. He’s probably right. I should. I no longer have my CD player that most everyone had as they graduated high school and went off to college or worked a job somewhere.

Poetry, Writing

As I’m tired and wanting to go to bed, I think of everything I’ve gone through this week. Working. A box to check yes. There is no box so I will type it. YES. My eyes are even heavier now. This is rather pointless. Exercising. A box to check no. There is not box either…
