I really don't know how to categorize this peace - humor? horror? biography? Maybe you'll be inspired not to eun with scissors or at least keep your computer safe and secure.

I used to work at a regular desk. Now I have a virtual desk. I lean back in my teal blue recliner with my wireless keyboard on my lap and optical wireless mouse on the arm of the chair. I need to keep my swollen right leg elevated or it gets more swollen. I need to keep my merely slightly (now) swollen and wrapped left arm supported or the weight of it pulls at my shoulder and back. I used to have a laptop computer, but when I tried to sit up and hold onto the computer, it slid out of my right hand and crashed to the floor. When I finally got a new computer (desktop with a flat panel monitor), at least we were able to reload it with the data from my laptop’s hard drive. If I drop my lightweight keyboard, I won’t lose any poems or stories. Now I have a bag of loose handwritten notes, poems, essays, stories, jokes, bits of dialog that I need to transcribe. At least I still have one typing hand and most of my mind. They are really all any writer needs.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
