Almost fixed

How do you break something as it's being fixed? Easy you let two men who have no idea what they're doing pretend they know how to do something. The hubby's car has two new outside door handles and now only one of them works but both the inside handles are working. The cost of the shop visit I was trying to avoid will have to be paid eventually anyway because they pulled a metal rod out of the door. Oh well, the doors open from the outside so that I can roll the windows up now.

The front end on my truck still hasn't been checked out, if it's something bad we have to park it and replace it. I'm tired of driving it after all these years and lately it causes more trouble than it's worth. Well, I'm tired and should be working so I'm going to go write an editorial, or maybe a short story.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
