What a week. I did very little editing, little writing. I have been in a bit of a funk. An e-mail from a dear friend (you know who you are) was the best thing for me. I probably should have printed it out upon receipt and hung it up to get me through. I will do that after I post this. I don’t know how it happens. It feels almost like a detachment. But something forced, A little traumatizing? I feel like it has something to do with my MS. It is like slugging through mud if your brain had the ability to throw punches. It is like being in an open cage and not being able to fly through the open door. You see it, you have the will, ability, but exit is just a word not a way? Today, I am looking through drafts. Making edits here and there while my husband makes lunch. I think after lunch I will allow myself to just be. I will watch a movie perhaps. TUBI has a great selection of Foreign Horror movies. Another plus is that I can’t multitask. I have a bad habit of watching a movie, then letting it play in the background while I edit. BAD. I can’t do that if fully engaged. Thank goodness it is Friday. Tomorrow, my husband, Sofia and I will meet up with my father to go shopping for plants and flowers for the garden at Olivia’s in Beverly. We will then go to DiCola’s Seafood where we will order too many fried Smelts and coleslaw and fries and garlic bread and various sodas. We then go thrifting and go to The Original Rainbow Cone. Eventually, we will all make our way home exhausted, satisfied. I am hoping that this time together. The laughter, the quiet moments, joy will be the buoy I need. One of the pieces I am working on has to do with the violence welcomed onto so many, especially women in the world. A line: But not everyone loves everybody with the love of a mother for her girl. It is a pretty hard piece. I may skip over it a few times until I am in a better place. But when it is done, it will be a winner I think. Here at the movies I am considering watching:
