Fairytale Love
Or something like it.
Ours is no fairy tale, no story for the ages,
There's no princes or dragons written on our pages.
You've never killed a beast for me, I don't swoon in a tower,
There's no battle to be won here, no crown and no power.
I don't need your worship, it's not what I expect,
I won't promise to obey you, but do you have my respect.
Storybook romance might hold some appeal,
But when Harry actuallymet Sally, he found she wasn't real.
When I think of the path not taken, I don't feel any fear,
There's no version of a life I'd choose that wouldn't have brought me here.
Happy ever after isn't real, this hard truth I know,
But maybe you'll hold my hand though when it's time for me to go.

Lazy Girl Tips for Productivity
1. If you cannot concentrate, try not to beat yourself up, and don’t sit there too long either. Stand up, get a coffee, go for a little walk, put some laundry on, and then come back to whatever you’re trying to focus on with a clearer head.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
