Straight As

A woman of a straight A student daughter was updating a cousin on her family life.   She described her offspring's bad behavior and did not mention her child's straight As

I tend to do this about myself....starting convos with my failures..." Hi, I am on borrowed time at work"....instead of reporting my improved scores...

Whenever I do this ...I think of the image I send out into the world...how I act will attract the people and respect that will  reinforce the life I want

Market Window

I window shop at the market

Stemming

My job is a disaster and my personal life is filled with emptiness

Yet I have a level of confidence that is new to me

Stemming from admiration for myself for keeping going

Three words

Three words I do not like hearing in a sentence
are breasts .., down.. there ..,

"Creepy"

I threw caution to the wind and went with a random stranger for a bite....
A neighbor reacted to my reported social outing as "creepy"

A woman with a prison boyfriend may loose points in a game of self righteousness

Hydrid

I am exhibiting a new hybrid compulsive behavior....I franticly seek anything is  that slated for the good will by my friends...no bag riding in a car trunk is safe...

I sort the free dry goods and distribute certain selected pieces to people in my circle...a neighbor was an excited receiver of two pairs of shoes...

The second part of the hybrid is that I get tremendous joy out of  releasing my things...filling up a box placed by the door of  my various things lessens my weight and relieves some of my anxiety

Perishables

A man and I were talking in the produce section of "my market"...as he was picking me up he was picking up leafy romaine lettuce....

We decided to go to a nearby restaurant  to talk....he asked me, about mid convo, if  I had any perishables..

Thoughtfulness can go a long way...
