Time melts into nothing and nothing’s changed

Filed Under astruc 

I’ve been gone for too long. It’s really hard to get back into writing every day. I’ve been making some small effort, carrying my notebook and pen around again, jotting down small observations. And that’s about it. Right now I am waiting for the mailing list notify software to upload to my server. If I find more toys to play with, I don’t have to write!

Nan has good days and bad. I don’t think she was fully prepared for how much this was going to hurt. Her surgeon noted that this was the largest mesh ever installed laparoscopically. We’re all very proud. Trouble is, they staple that shit down. When she was recovering from the first cancer surgery, she was on a morphine drip. I think, I hope that time is just a blur for her now.

This time, Nan was punted quickly in an effort to avoid infection. So pain management hasn’t been stellar.

I have seen Timmy. I laughed so very hard when I saw what he was driving. A silver supercharged S-Type. We are two of a kind. And lo, he is no longer married.

“Stop smiling,” he said, when he told me.

The S-Type has been pulled from the next model year’s lineup, to be replaced by something that resembles a Nissan Sentra. I am very, very unhappy with this development.

So, guys, I need a favor. Ask me some questions or something. I don’t know what the hell to write about. I’ve been gone since 2002, more or less. What would you like to know?

    Duh, we wanna hear about Timmy! Isn’t that really what Perfect Way was all about in the beginning? The old boyfriend stories? Dish!

    I want to hear about your love affair with the Jaguar. I’ve finally got a car game with a Jaguar in it but I have yet to unlock it.

    Yes! Boyfriend stories! Gossipy dish! What are you doing in Florida? What do you want to do next?

    Is that enough questions?

    What do you see when you look out your window, and how does it differ from where you’ve lived for the last few years?

    What are the best and worst differences between Florida and Washington?

    What would you like to do in 10 years?

    What do you think of high waisted jeans making a comeback?

    Write about who you are - pick 5 or 6 words that hold core meaning for you, and write an entry for each word…
