\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There are times when even the most selfishly lonely of us become all and out bummed by long tedious hot and mostly rainy days like today in Austin, Texas–as anywhere, there is the\u00a0 short termed joy of the unlikely good of each day.\u00a0 And then, there is the look-into-it-a-little-closer and realize, say, that the siding is ripped off of the back side of the house, and all this wet stuff comes soaking inside and lands like a mud puddle on pudding, and no one’s there but\u00a0me to clean it up.\u00a0 And today, I am caught in some sort of a inertia-like need\u00a0 to simply sit and express my ineptitude, instead of just plain old– get down and dirty-doing it; What ever it is that needs to be done.\u00a0 And one look around the Sauerosa says,’ girl, get off your old fat ass and work. The maid ain’t gonna show and the creek is gonna rise, for sure.\u00a0‘\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ” Things do pile up,”\u00a0but this is\u00a0beyond ridiculous ,and today\u00a0there is no one here to laugh with or at me.\u00a0 It’s just me and (ironically enough) this damn computer screen trying to develop a lasting relationship, which is doomed from the start.\u00a0 It smells fear, and reacts accordingly, with a unfazed receptive non-disclosure contractual attitude that makes things seem ever so much worse than they could possibly be.\u00a0 And the ever present, non -emotional,\u00a0but never friendly drone,\u00a0that is heard every where here, that comes from this and all it’s brothers through-out the house; But rules as King in the study here.\u00a0 It calls to the ants.\u00a0It passes for “ringing in the ear…”\u00a0and I will stop before it does.\u00a0 Sometimes,\u00a0I sing to myself to over-ride it’s distracting haze.\u00a0 I am thinking and hoping, that somewhere in front of someone’s desk top, is a person like me.\u00a0 having a hard time ignoring the sound,\u00a0and this modern blather it brings with it, and that person is also\u00a0blaming\u00a0 all of their troubles, stacked neatly, and rationally, one upon the other, on and over the top of this persistence and pestering promiscuous intrusion on one’s privacy.\u00a0 Do you hear it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
