an ode

When noses run
and eyes do weep
when coughing doesn’t cease
You are the one
that bids me sleep
and giveth me sweet peace

O Nyquil!
Thine elixir blue
which makes my lips go numb
I lay still
because I knew
the blessed sleep would come.

    Nice… although I’ve had mine for so long that yesterday I could have used some “Sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, BLOWING BLOODY CHUNKS OUT OF YOUR NOSE medicine”

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
