Daily November crying sessions start today

[bereft-of-frogs]

a weekend list 👻

friday 🍂

- job 😖

- use lunch break to pack for weekend / get sheets/towels ready (my fee for dogsitting is doing laundry 😆)

- somehow get 1) dinner + wine 2) dog from daycare and 3) drive 1.5 hours before 7. Ah.

- have dinner, watch more Fall of the House of Usher while frantic notebook scribbling (I thought about bringing the geriatric laptop, but she doesn’t deserve being dragged all over the state, I think ipad to reference where I’m at + longhand writing will be the most useful/fun)

saturday 🪦

- continue Flanaverse viewing and notebook scribbling

- do laundry

- take dog for a walk

- cemetery tour!

- repeat item one on Saturday list

- family dinner at my aunts house

- repeat item one…

sunday 🎃

- take dog for walk

- you guessed it, repeat—

- actually I’m thinking about also taking my knitting so I might work on my sweater (I’m on sleeve #2, so close to the end)

- wait for parents to get back from their vacation

- possibly go grocery shopping on the way home, just to get it out of the way for the week

- also see how I feel, if I want to type up notebook or work on some dangling prompts, or start the second drafts. I’m kind of debating switching up the system. Since there’s no way I’m finishing all 31, it might make more sense to take a more relaxed approach, rather than setting a deadline. Like just post whenever I finish the second draft and feel like it’s ready, regardless of the day on the calendar? Idk a more chill approach is probably better for me (this does not count the second chapter of ‘omens and all kinds of signs’ which will be posted on Halloween). Idk I’m considering things. Oh no I have to start thinking of titles too 😱

Pain. Agony

[savethepinecones]

reaching the point in a depression spiral where my thought process shifts from "i gotta push through and go to work even though i dont feel like leaving my bed because i need to keep my job" to "my mental health is important and if i feel like i need a break i should take a break" and then i take a bunch of time off work and nearly lose my job but keep telling myself that i just need a longer break and then ill bounce back

[chicken-fifi]

I kissed your Breath

They began to no longer be able to do without huddling in strong and heartbreaker hugs. They were looking for places to hide, but not for kissing or anything else. They just needed to unite their breaths in a single Breath of Love. To unite their Souls.

November, 20th, afternoon. My first tears for you, listening this beautiful song. 67 hours without your breathe. It's fucking Friday, goddamm!

"By starlight I'll kiss you And promise to be your one and only I'll make you feel happy And leave you to be lost in mine And where will we go What will we do? Soon said I will know

And are you just like me? Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas, yeah Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me?

And all along we knew we'd carry on Just to belong By starlight I know you As lovely as a wish granted true My life has been empty, my life has been untrue And does she really know, who I really am? Does she really know me at last And are you just like me?

Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me? Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas, yeah Dead eyes, dead eyes Are you just like me?

And are you just like me? And are you just like me? And are you just like me?"

But, sooner or later, it would happened. Who knows if under the dreamy starlight or in the light of the brightest sun.

The road

The road less traveled

at one time had to be built

before it was true.

[chanty-loves-turtles]

[thelassoway]

You were a stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew 'Cause I had nothin' to lose When the winter's in full swing and Your dreams just aren't comin' true Ain't it funny what you'll do?

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste And your knee socks

The late afternoon, the ghost in your room That you always thought didn't approve Of you knockin' boots Never stopped you lettin' me get hold Of the sweet spot by the scruff of your Knee socks

You and me could have been a team Each had a half of a king and queen seat Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets You could be my baby
