I wrote this back in mid-September. I don’t know why I didn’t publish it then. It might be a poem. I don’t know that either. ____________________________________________________________________ Had a convo with Josh last week that altered my opinion of the USA. And by altered, I mean worsened. So.

“When Did We See You”
When I speak of my chronic illnesses
or see others speaking of theirs

This was going to be a handwritten entry in my journal, but I think it will cause more beneficial ripples if I put it here. The blogging format will unavoidably alter what I say and how I say it, but that might not be a bad thing. Maybe I’ll know for sure 20 years from …

Once again, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve blogged. Is that still a thing? Can minutes still have temperature? Or is that just slang of the Olds? For someone who spends as much time on the internet as I do, I am not current on slang among the kiddos. On the other hand, I …
