Tuesday September 1 2015  THIS WILL BE A QUICKIE!

 

Time has a way of sneaking up on me.  I have too much day to put in the hours God made.  So I must write quickly this evening.  I need to go to bed earlier and up earlier so I can get more done!

 

FATE WORSE THAN DEATH

By Kathleen Martens

September 1, 2015

 

What to write

When I’m in a hurry?

A silly little poem

Without thought or worry.

 

I will say

A great big hello,

And write my blog

Being quite mellow.

 

I love to live life

But need more hours

To do all I must do

With super powers.

 

My reward today

Is to write to you,

So you can see

Just what I do.

 

Not much it seems

When it takes place,

Just too much running

It’s such a race.

 

First the gym,

Then the store,

Lunch at home,

Cooking more.

 

Then to dentist

And pharmacy too.

Then talk to insurance

Which makes me blue.

 

No one told me

When I retired

That with paperwork

I’d be quite mired!

 

On the phone

Waiting in que,

But each office

Knows ONE THING TO DO.

 

Then to the next

To wait again

It seems to me

This should be a sin.

 

Government bureaucracy

Fate worse than death.

They want not just our money

But our very breath!

 

So what did I do

That gobbled my day?

Your guess as good as mine

Is what I’d say!

 

P.S.  But we did find out that we are covered with some dental insurance, so I guess that was worth the wait.

 

I pretty much said most of my day in my poem.  I did have a chance to lie down for about 45 minutes to get my kidneys kicked in.  AND…I actually finished decluttering the other part of my kitchen counters!  Ahhhhh (that is a silent scream).  I opened my Iphone to find some pictures to send and my camera was on reverse.  I saw myself on the screen (or at least I think it was me).  THERE WAS A VERY OLD LADY LOOKING BACK AT ME!  I’m still not used to her.  She goes around masquerading as me all the time.  I just can’t seem to get away from her.  It’s pretty bad!  The worse scenario however, is when it’s up close and personal on the Iphone.  The Iphone hides absolutely nothing.  Too close for comfort!  Whew, I think I’ve recovered, now let me see if I can find those pictures to post.

Okay, I sent the before and after photos of my kitchen corner.  I also included a couple of photos of my grandson Zachariah on his first day of second grade.  Hope they upload.  We have trouble with Wifi  reaching to this end of the house.  We plan to purchase a booster to see if that will work.

No great revelations today.  Of course I have lots to say but it is getting late and I must get dinner on.  Dave will need to eat soon.  I’ll try to be a bit smarter tomorrow and have more words to take up more of your time.

 

MY GOODNIGHT TO YOU

By Kathleen Martens

Sept 1, 2015

 

May God richly bless you this night

And in your tomorrow.

I pray you have joy,

And no sorrow.

I bid farewell to my faithful few

I write this blog because of you.
