This Week

Did you know that every week has some 'theme'? Days, too. Like today, October 9th is Leif Erikson Day- no kidding. The second week in March is National Procrastination Week, but, then, woudn't we put off observing that till the third week? I'm all for having more themes to my life, so let's start with this week.
It's National Oraganizing Week. In observance of this.....

... I organized my diet Coke.

Her house is stifling.  The fan above her clicks a rhythm and she lays as still as she can, hoping for relief. She pushes herself up, forcing movement that reverberates in her head. Walking through the rooms, she checks windows, praying for the breath of a breeze. She loves this house. Here she nursed and nurtured her babies.  The walls show signs of life-- fingerprints and smudges.  Smiling faces, captured and framed, adorn the walls. But, the walls are closing in and she retreats to the sanctuary of her room.  The thoughts are pressing, intensifying the pain in her head.  She tries with all her might to force them out.
