Down Time

Random shots of my room

 Three days before the semester begins. My car breaks down for the second time in one week. I'm left stranded at home. Again. I try to be grateful for the over abundance of time on my hands. Which leads me to get out my camera. And take a walk. So here are the pictures I come back with.

                                               Boots: Kohl's Dept Store; Scarf: Art Gecko

                                                                Curtains: My Mother

                                                          

Day off

I am sitting in a 50’s styled diner. It is my day off. I scheduled this day to spend with myself. 

The plan was to treat myself to a hot fudge sundae. Small. 

My digestive system, not strong to begin with, has gone through the perils of a slow recovery from the flu, so apparently ice cream makes me sick. It’s a gamble every time I sit down to eat something I haven’t had since the fever hit four weeks ago. 

Journalistic ramblings will commence once school has. I am awaiting my three articles to be published come spring term. And I am set up to begin another involving a controversy on campus which I cannot talk about since it hasn’t yet been published.  

We’ll see if the local media picks up this issue too. If they do, they’d wish they had my contacts list. Rule #1 always save your contacts, you never know who you’ll be going back to for an interview. I don’t stalk, I track. 

(Any minute now I’m going to have to dart off to the bathroom) ..... Well THAT was a timely sentence! 

... Anyway, you can cross ice cream off my list of temptations. The artificial cherry was good, though!
