election day
2006-11-07, 7:32 a.m.
my back hurts. my body aches. must go for my yearly gyno appointment.
i'm getting old.
my husband doesn't like change. we're moving next week. he's worried.
why can't he be more like me? i'm a cat. when things change i explore, i mark my territory, then make myself at home.
he's been nearly impossible lately. we bicker constantly. if that wasn't followed by some good ole fashioned loving, i'm not sure that i could find a reason to stay. but it's there, always, the love. so i stay.
i stand my ground.
i love him more and more every day.
he's young.
he has grown...more patient, more loving, more adaptable. but still he challenges me when i try to make decisions without him.
i'm not accustomed to this, of course. never been in a relationship. never lived with someone i loved. certainly never been married.
election day today. i want to vote green. i'm worried about our grey world. new york will take another hit. this time at the hands of mother nature.
it's in the cards.
one of my fish is dying. i try to save him, daily. he stays at the bottom of his vase, in one and a half gallons of water. occasionally he thrusts himself upward to gasp for air, and then sinks back down again.
i don't like it when things die. i cried when the last fish died. waited 24 hours before i made my husband flush him down the toilet.
he was equally as upset.
please don't die KILLER. that's his name.

YESTERDAY - TOMORROW
