Sleep well tonight...

Sleep well tonight... With all your problems solved, the only sleep that's robbed... is mostly mine.

But I won't opine; it's pointless to carry on, with this charade that mostly calls you deeper into you while I stay behind.

It's not that I'm really bothered by  the haunts that chase my soul, but more so that I'd rather say just go...

Yet that leads to no, in most cases you return... With a brand new fire to burn... and your singular concerns while mine grow colder.

But you didn't know? That I might have a few... Some angst need be pursued? but once again postponed... to deal with things that mostly bother you.

Aren't I a gem? Always stepping up, to help sweeten bitter cups for those too discouraged to drink themselves.

Such a great guy... To sacrifice for love or whatever it's called when all that's wasted is yourself.

We should always be considerate and thoughtful, working to live out a higher purpose in our lives. And, it's okay to be passionate about what we feel and think. However,  we have to be cautious to not be comba

Doctor visits

I went to the doctor today...upper respiratory infection with a side of sinusitis! At least that is what I was told! Isn't that how it works with doctors? We wait in the "waiting" room and then are herded into some triage area for them to add to the bill with temperature, weight, and blood pressure checks! I am thinking maybe to fore go all the perfunctory "padding of the bill" and get to making me feel better! But instead, I get to read the equivalent of War and Peace in out dated magazines as I am attempting to tune out what is surely the spawn of Satan while hoping that the noxious chemical smell causes me to pass out so that time will pass more quickly. I am certain that all 26 of the people who work in the office have some role that keeps them busy, other than, of course, caring for the patients! I have learned how to cook chili, paint cars, and cheat on taxes all from the other side of those smoky glass windows of the "Reception Office." Al
