We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963

You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

Dear Heavens…

Up up…, originally uploaded by Random and Odd.

How often are you sitting there and you realize the exact moment you got sick? This happened to me on Sunday.

It’s now Tuesday and I should be feeling better, but it keeps getting worse with a whole new level of ick.

I bought a new coffee grinder and figured if I could coffee into me, I would feel a little bit better. I couldn’t work the grinder and by the time I crawled back upstairs to recoup from the frustration I had picked up a new symptom. Dizziness.

Popping Nyquil day tabs and night tabs have been my only recourse for this madness. It’s now 6:40 and I am well enough to sit in an upright position. THANK GOD.

Tomorrow I need to be better so I am going to pray tonight. I think God is mad at me and put me in a time out though.
