I’m exasperated. I’m now waiting for dinner. I don’t know what I ordered. But I’m feeling useless here. My job is to eat food and get weighed every week. Other than that I am not working. I wish I could work on a story that I started last year. But the trips to the hospitalContinue reading “Exasperation”

Residents are settling down in their beds and some have the television on. Some are looking through their cellphonesContinue reading “Evening Thoughts”

Stuck

My weight today is 111.6. It’s been like this for a few days. I’m glad it’s this weight because I don’t want to lose weight anymore. I’ve been eating better and whatever the kitchen comes up with, I’m ready for it.

Being in a nursing home I don’t have a computer or printer that has my writing software toContinue reading “All About a Book”

Thinking About the Past

I miss a lot of things, like how I planned my life and work. I had a dream of becoming a writer then I decided to major in Chemistry. I miss the life I would have had had I been a writer from the outset. Would I have to work nights to write during theContinue reading “Thinking About the Past”

To NaNoWrimo or Not To NaNoWrimo

I’m writing a novel and I have also joined NaNoWriMo. I think if I adhere to NaNoWriMo’s estimate of words per day, I might be able to finish this book by the end of November. Knowing me, I might not finish on time. I think the game is set to write as many words asContinue reading “To NaNoWrimo or Not To NaNoWrimo”
