“My necklace was stolen!”

“Are you sure you didn’t misplace it?”

“Considering it’s been locked in my #jewelry box for the last six weeks, I’m sure I didn’t misplace it.” *What an idiot.*

“Okay fine. Let’s go look.”

The flowers are #bountiful as are the allergies. I’m still so excited for spring!

#vss365

The #lethargy of too much peopling but not enough peopling…

Balance is key!

I’m reading “Someone in the Attic” by Andrea Mara. I love the story but I also really enjoy this sentence she had a young boy in the story say.

I’m not afraid of being alone in the dark, I’m afraid that I’m not alone.

Elizabeth had her second #cataract appointment and needs to be taken for her post-op appointment tomorrow. Are you available to drive?

The #splendor of more sunlight and longer days is coming! But why do we have to keep changing the clocks? Just stick with Daylight Savings Time (or Standard, if we must). Stop screwing us up.

Alex wasn’t #timid.
The body…ripped to pieces.
The intruder ready to attack.
Alex pulled the trigger…before walking out the door.
*News tomorrow: Murder-suicide*
What a shame.

😁 That’s fantastic!

A #quest for the south pole led 28 men into a race for survival. No communication, boats that might not hold through treacherous waters, and limited resources were what they had. Endurance was the only chance they had.

Endurance (non-fiction book)

I used to just be happy that spring was on the horizon. Now I’m #obsessed with its approach. I need the warmth, the sunlight, and the chance to move again without freezing temperatures, ice, and snow constantly surrounding me.

Charley rushed into the house at high #velocity before charging up the stairs to show his excitement for the beginning of the day. Dogs are precious 🐶😁🥰

#vss365

She’s lucky she didn’t shatter her #orbital bone.

You think she could have even when she was wearing her helmet?

It just depends on how she would have fallen. A helmet doesn’t hurt.

#vss365

She #knowingly stole the timepiece. Not for money or trade, but to hold the power of time in her hands. It was the first time she felt control and power in her life. That timepiece was as good as gone.

#vss365

She said I was #crazed. I mean, the assessment isn’t wrong, but she never got to the source of why I was that way. She could have fixed it. Too little sleep, not enough food, and my period hitting all at once—the Bermuda Triangle at its wildest. I just needed some rest and some food.

#vss365

That is #blatant self-promotion.

Right. I’m promoting myself and I doubt my audience wants me to be subtle about it.

…

#vss365

#Beastly … is that like homely?

Depends what version of homely you mean. U.S. or U.K.?

Can you just tell me the definition?

Oh. It means someone or something’s odious or awful.

Okay. That helps. Thanks!

The puzzle #mystified me. Some of the pieces snapped into place and I was on a roll. Until…I looked at the picture forming and it didn’t make sense. I took a piece away and tried another in the same place that snapped in perfectly, too. WTF?! 🤬 I hate this puzzle!

#vss365

“There was supposed to be a #bouncy castle.”

“Apologies ma’am, but it wasn’t added to the receipt.”

“How am I supposed to entertain all these kids now?”

The man shrugged, handed me my receipt, and walked away.

Well, crap.

#vss365

“How’re you?”

I have a #mountainous pile of work. I haven’t slept through the night in over 3 months. And I’d rather read than be social again.

“I’m fine. How’re you?”

#vss365

He was #enchanted by her smile and she by his kindness.

I, however, stood waiting for the bus to arrive that was already 23 minutes late. It’d be great if they could be enchanted with each other further away from me.

#vss365

They say it was a #miniscule error. What they don’t say is that even a small error when I’m barreling down a mountain on skis at 90mph, can be deadly. I’m hoping I can walk again without pain someday. Right now though? It’s still a struggle.

#vss365

A #kiss, a breath, a moment—a time capsule of my life.

Purple owl with intricate swirls in the design painted across two pieces of brown-stained wood. Stars and moon are painted white. Clouds are painted with a mix of white and light purple. The owl is standing on a black branch.

I created an owl tonight at board and brush!🦉

She stood on a bridge in Tartarus. Unless she could cross it safely in the gales, she would fall into the #lacuna. Forever falling. Never ending. Her determination forced her through one step. And then the next.

#vss365

That sounds fun!

Soon the #dark will slide away as the warmth of sunbeams grazes my skin again. I wait as the clock ticks forward yet again towards spring. 🌼

His fingers brush against the back of my hand. I can’t hold my smile in. He threads his fingers through mine while the movie continues. A #touch of magic and romance brightens my day 🥰

#vss365

My eyes burn and my body #aches after Caesar meowed so sadly and woke me up so many times last night. It was hard to sleep.

#vss365

“The #bones of your story seem to be missing. These are just random notes that don’t tie into each other.”

What is he on about?

*checks sent email*

Oh crap. I sent him my not even fully formed outline instead of the novel.

“Clearly you don’t understand art, professor.”

#vss365

#Pale moonlight. That’s the example that’s always given for show don’t tell. Yet it wasn’t until someone said showing is indicating someone’s sweating on a hot day rather than saying they feel hot that I understood. At least now I get it. 😁
