May @ MindSay

I totally skipped the month of May. A lot has been going on in my neck of the woods. I have been able to pop on a few times here and there to check out what my peoples have been up to, but really have not had the time to do an actual entry. Here is my usual little bulleted summary of stuff in no particular order of happenings.

• Ben and I broke up. We are still great friends and see each other everyday. He is probably moving to Arizona because he can make nearly almost triple what he does here.
• helendaysauce had her baby!
• My cell phone is on the verge of dying. Evidently a lot of moisture got into it and fucked it up hardcore. I didn't know what to do, so Ben and I went to the Alltel in Merrill seeing as there are no Alltels in Wausau. The dick working asked me "Are you sure this is an Alltel phone?". Uh, yeah...I wouldn't be bringing it to you if it wasn't. It is now working, but hit and miss. Of course, I don't have insurance on it and I have over a year left in my contract.
• It is Woodchuck season again!
• I finally went to the doctor for my anxiety and depression. The doctor put me on Fluoxetine and I am to call him in two weeks to let him know how it is going. So far I am not feeling any different except I am now sleeping through the night.
• Going on two months of overtime at work and people are really getting sick of it; not the pay, but working the long hours and not getting a thank you. Four ten hour days for sure; an occassional fifth ten hour day or a half day is thrown in there.
• My brother graduated from college.
• I have been looking for different fulltime employment since about Thanksgiving and haven't had much luck. Not really expecting much out there now with the current state of the economy.
• I was off of work at the video store for medical reasons and went back in the begining of May to let the manager know I was able to come back to work. He told me that because he didn't know when I was going to be coming back, he hired a bunch of people and now he didn't even have the hours to give them. Is it that hard to give me a call and be like, "Hey Sara, this is Shaun. I was wondering if you had a possible timeline for when you would be coming back. I am looking to be hiring more people and wanted to make sure you were coming back before I started interviewing."
• My brother's band Flash Back has been playing at a bar in Rapids on a regular basis and now is going to be playing there every third Saturday of the month.
• Will be seeing Seether and REO Speedwagon this summer at the fair.
• Had pink-eye. I was really hoping it was just allergies, but of course it couldn't be. Plus, I have never had goopy eyes with allergies, so I knew it was a long shot. The whole week prior to my pink-eye, five out of the seven kids in my classroom had the whole pink-eye like symptoms; none of their doctors would confirm it, but they were treating it with drops just to be on the safe side. Yeah, try to tell me none of them had pink-eye and I ended up with it -- in BOTH eyes.
• I really want to see NKOTB when they tour this summer.
• Brought my bike up from my parents' place. I haven't ridden it much yet. I really need to ride from the apartment to work to see how long it is going to take me to ride to work.
• Might be heading back to the Twin Cities this summer and head back to IKEA and go to the Hard Rock Cafe. I will call ahead and make sure that they have the Lillberg couch before I go.

 

Weeeeee!

Off to the Yankees-Mariners game (which the Yankees are going to WIN tonight)!!!!


Jealousssss :-P









^{(so keep the blood in your head...and get your feet on the ground...<3)}

In the dark spring skies

reflections of the branches

dance over me in a prickly hug

my hair entangled

the woods catching me

as I walk

green buds giggling at me

the crunch of my boots on old grass

giving way to the moist ones coming

going away the brittle brown

yet still they reach

 

this is how it was at home today

I am the priestess of this place

 

reaching for signs of summer

but still too dank and cold

memories of ice heavy on the brow

the white was here not long ago

evidence is in the creek bed

a steady stream of blackened water

gurgling with frogs and toads

squirrels dart along side me

and I wonder where the deer are

 

somewhere my people are playing the drum

somewhere there is a fire burning

somewhere my lover is leaping

and I am not forgotten

 

the first flower I saw:

brilliant purple iris

a golden and white star

inside

peeking at me

stung my eyes

not yet adjusted to light

 

I'm not really alone, and yet I am the lone witch in these woods

I am the woman you'd see haunting the cemetery

but this place is alive and growing

the only stones here line the creek

the only ghosts the fallen trees

but even they provide life

I can spy the mice in the shelter 

 

I am still hugging the shadows

enjoying the chill

curled up to pillow

deep in bed

sucking in the water

waiting for the sun

sleeping not dead 

 

I share this with you tonight. 

Reaching outward like a branch does. 

My fingertips upward beginnings to bud. 

I feel grown green inside.

Like the migraine I had yesterday

was only a sign I'm sprouting horns.

   The creek's edge will soon be lined with bugs.

My arms itch after that thought. 

 

Will you be here,

next time 

to hold my hand 

when I walk?

 

Or

will we

link arms

like sisters

do?

 

and skip!

 

 

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
TO TELL SOMEONE YOU CARE
TO UTTER WORDS YOU MEANT TO SAY
WHEN THEY'RE NO LONGER THERE

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
TO VISIT THAT OLD FRIEND
YOU SHARED YOUR LIFE IN YOUR DAYS
YOU THOUGHT WOULD NEVER END

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
TO DO SOME NOBLE DEED
TO SHARE THE BOUNTY OF GOD'S GRACE
TO MEET ANOTHERS NEED

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
TO ATONE FOR PAST MISTAKES
TO FORGIVE AND BE FORGIVEN
HOWEVER HIGH THE STAKES

TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE
AND YESTERDAY HAS FLOWN
SO WHY NOT GET IT DONE TODAY
BEFORE IT TOO, IS GONE?
