What I Did This Summer

I can't speak for Search, but the short version of what I did this summer was get divorced, put down my dog of 16 years, move my mother from independent living to hospital to rehab to assisted living to hospital to hospice to cremation, and take care of my sister's three kids while she was in the hospital having the 4th. Oh, yeah, and I worked about 50 hours a week, got a new dog, and am still trying to get the leak in my roof fixed.

Somehow, Eons just didn't make it onto the "todo" list. But, I'm mostly just settling my mother's estate, housebreaking my dog, and working about 50 hours a week, now, so I hope I'll be back. I've been saving up tons of poems I hoped to post, so I'll try to dole them out in digestible bits.

I did miss you all, though!

Liar, liar, pants on fire. You did not miss us in the least.

I am so sorry to hear of your over abundance of travails my dear friend. I have missed you extremely much. So much loss in such a short period of time. Takes its toll and debilitates rather severely.

My sincere condolences on your mother's death. Doesn't matter how old we are when we lose our parents. We become momentarily just a small child again.

Drop in when you can in between mopping up puppy pee. Maybe you will find a puppy pee poem to brighten our otherwise dreary days.

Except for the divorce, your past few months sound like mine, Perp--not much fun. My cat of 17 years died, my mother is in the hospital and one day is in life threatening crisis, the next day she has pulled through, my dog is 14 and slowing down and tonight I have to go to the hospital and a wake.

Sorry for your losses perp. I'm surprised you are still standing.
