Who are you and why are you posting on my blog?

It's me. It's been a while since that last post and things are looking up. I actually cried at my last day of work, realizing I would miss all the staff and the kids as much as I won't miss wiping tables and picking up trash. That was last friday. I think I'll go back there one day with some chocolate peanut butter fudge and a few thank you notes.

Today it is raining and looks rather gloomy. Very fitting as I went to the dentist this morning.

I was moved to blog while I was sitting in the chair having my teeth cleaned due to the fact that I used to have a dentist who had a little sink and a cup of water attatched to the chair. A lot of places don't have that now apparently. What happened to good old rinse-and-spit dentistry? My situation wasn't as bad as I had previously assumed though. This dental hygienist fills your mouth up with water and makes you swish it all around, then sucks it up with the sucker thing. Almost as satisfying as spitting it out. Almost.

So, I haven't written anything in the categories of creative writing or poetry for about three weeks now. I decided to take a break after I sat down to write a poem and all that came out was a bunch of stupid ugly words. That's a little harsh. I wasn't pleased by what it was, that's all. Hence, I came to the conclusion that my inspiration might come burbling back into the dried up spring of my creativity if I were only to rest it for a while. Three times now I've come within an inch of writing something. Not literally, but, I typed out a couple lines of dialogue here, scribbled down a few phrases of verse there-- and then distracted myself from such activity in order to better heal my overworked imagination mechanisms.

Hopefully I'll be back to my crazy write-y self in another week or two. Blogging does not count as creative writing.

Since I'm supposed to be finishing Gulliver's Travels and starting some laundry at the moment, I will take this opportunity to say toodle-loo.
