For someone who maintains an online writing presence, I’ve discovered, more and more, that I tend to be vague, and to speak in what may very well amount to riddles and other misdirections, in order to keep certain things within their pre-determined bounds. In short, there’s a ton that I could say, and that I want to say. But out of respect for others, I hold my tongue. Its not my place to hang laundry, so I choose not to. Bearing that in mind, here’s another post, chock full of nothing.

So yesterday and today have been somewhat down and up. Yesterday was a long day thanks to (CENSORED). 10AM to 10PM is a long shift. but there  was a decent interlude in the evening, which helped make it better. On the downside, I spoke to my mother and she passed along some disheartening news. Or rather, news that made me want to throw my phone and scream obscenities. I was rather upset about certain developments involving those I love and call family. I was particularly angry because I felt helpless. There was nothing I could do to help fix things. My protective instinct had no outlet, and it definitely burned me a little. I hope for the best though.

Today was definitely the up/rebound. Certain conversations were had and certain things were said that needed to be said, leading said participants in a positive direction. While this makes no sense other than, “A conversation took place,” it was positive, and I smiled for the rest of the evening. Someday, I may actually speak more on this subject, but I’m not at liberty to, and therefore I shan’t.

Now, its quiet in my kitchen, the rain and wind are howling outside, and I can hear the quiet tick of the fireplace as the metal backstop expands. One could aptly call it a dark and stormy night. Here in Portland, we get our fair share. In a bit, I’ll head for bed, falling asleep to the sound of the rain on the windows, most likely waking up tomorrow because the power has gone out. (its flickered several times this evening) At least I have the day off tomorrow. Tomorrow, a day filled with house cleaning and prepping for the arrival of my parents in 7 days time. Thanksgiving? I think so.
