Happenings

~ ~ ~
It's been a while.
I know.
Life.
Keeps me busy.
I mean to get here.
Just haven't until today.

Lots of things going on.
People doing bad things.
Getting away with it.
Me, trying to warn others.
No one listened.
They thought I was being odd.
Nope, just telling the truth.
That's why no one tells others.
No one believes.
So, the person who did it,
gets away with it.
What can I say.
Just annoyed at people.
It's the reason I stay
kind of away
in my woods.

(I live in a homeowners association neighborhood.
The current board members are sort of 
like a group of dictators.
I volunteered last year.
Was treated terribly.
Decided I didn't want to put up with it.
This year, I wrote the neighborhood
a note telling them what happened.
No one believed me.
They got away with it.
That's why people don't tell
anyone what happens.)

What I learned ..
Never volunteer (at least not in my neighborhood)
Always believe in yourself
There really are bad people 
(I already knew that but still when you actually meet
one .. I'm still shocked)
I now will watch as they continue to do
what they want and see if any of the
goofs who live here
do anything about it.
I'm only one person
and without others listening
nothing will be done.
At least I tried.
Can walk away knowing that.


Confirms why I'm kind of loner
I watch from the woods

And, that is my talk to myself.

What Is That

The sun has decided to visit.
How that just makes the day.
I live in the woods.
Dark in the Winter.
Wet from the rain.
Green from the trees and moss.
Yes, I said moss.
Down my driveway and into the woods.
I love it here. Most times.
Only when it's yucky wet and dark, nope.
So, today with yellow stuff visiting,
it makes me think,
that Spring might come back.
It is amazing here
in the Spring and Summer.
Most of the early Fall days too.
It's just the green slimy walkways
that make an old lady trip
and the lawn that looks terrible
due to moss and the feet
that sink into it
if you don't look where 
you are walking.
Like I said, the sun is out.
Brings me hope.
I still won't be going out
there though but soon.

Mew At You Later,
JC

Just Life

~ ~ ~

Been a while since I've been here.
Lots went on.

Spring and Summer.
Warm.
My dog was worn out.
She died.
Very very sad times.
Most of that time was spent
helping her in the last days.

Next we recovered.
It took a mental toll
on everyone.
Not the cats but the humans
and my other dog.

We did decide to adopt.
A new puppy has 
kept me hopping.
Literally.
I'm almost sleeping
through the nights.
We're at that stage
of the new fur ball
in the house.

The normal that will be
is almost here.
The cats don't really care.
Not after that first week
where they were
what did Mom do 
this time.

Now, it's just oh
it's the short dog.

The Winter blahs
have arrived.
Rain, cold, snow, ice
and wind.
I do so enjoy the
warmer months.
I always have.
I always will.

That's the latest.
No big deals .. really.
Just life.
As it goes
over here.

Sad

~ ~ ~
The past came to call.
Memories long past.
Some good.
Some not so much.
I had a decision to make.
Go or stay.
I went.
Very sad.
Hard to see.
I would never have wished this for them.
Ever.
Too much hurt along the way.
On their side.
Me, I just put up with it.
Until, I did not.
Been years.
Haven't seen or talked to them.
Very odd.
Didn't know if I wanted to go.
Didn't think I'd ever see them again.
Seems that I won't talk to them again.
Thought a lot.
Very odd.
What a shame that their life
ended up this way.
Could have been so different.
Didn't need to be this way.
Very sad.
I did cry when I saw them.
Now, I am just sad for them.
What a waste.
What could have been.

( my older sister tried to commit suicide.
She is now in a coma.
I haven't talked to her in four years.
I haven't seen her in seven.
We were never friends.
She was just my older sister.
Not friendly.
There are moments though.
Few but there.
What a shame that she ended up this way.
She didn't call me.
She didn't think of me.
That's just like her.
Sad.
That's all I feel.
So sad that she ended up this way.)

Nice May Day


~ ~ ~
Yesterday, was a nice day.
Warm and not too windy.
Just right actually.
Later in the afternoon, it got a bit hot.
Off to the shade, I would go.
Did a bit of work in the yard.
Those weeds are terrible.
Everywhere they are.
I think it's the wind blowing them in
from someone else's yard.
Oh well, at least there is a nice view.
Was thinking that May was a good month.
Very relaxing, which I need.
I like pretending.
I like it very much.

(I know it's June now but what a nice month May was)
