rainy day music

Rented a room closer to work 

So less driving in the rain and snow

Plus 2 extra hours sleep. 

Tornado sirens all night. 

Ice pellets hitting the window this morning. 

I’ve had one bowl of soup 

Every day for 3 days. 

Took about 30 minutes to finish.

I eat like an old person now. 

I did have Starbucks. 

No heartburn. 

Little Red Riding Hood 

Off to take the boy to the most 

Important appointment of his life. 

He’s now in Complex Care. 

I won’t feel so bad if I ever leave him. 

Once he’s in Complex Care-

He is set for life. 

Now I could stay or go. 

I’m fine with either. 

I placed a one year ban 

On writing conversation 

Because every time he wrote

On the communication board

With me 

It was like stupid bitch-

I hope you die -

And the like.

I should have done it a year ago

When he said he hoped the baby died. 

And then, you know, she did. 

So he was shocked and

Filled with remorse. 

If he wants to call me names

He’s going to have to 

Do it vocally. 

Ahhh - my life 

is much better without that stress! 

Kids are mean sometimes. 

Even special needs kids. 

Don’t be fooled. 

They’re not all Angels. 

All the work with my Nurse Life Coach 

Helped too. 

I met my goals 

“By hook or by crook”

As my Irish father used to say. 

Weight loss and detachment 

From the case.
