givemeabreak's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This & That Well, it is officially Yard Work Season here in Michigan. It is the time of year when being a homeowner loses some of its glitz and glamour in my opinion. Truly I shouldn't complain because I love how my perennial garden looks, and I love being out on the patio relaxing in the evenings...but raking and lawn mowing sucks ass majorly. I am still enjoying my job very much. I get to see so much working at a hospital. It's amazing sometimes. The other day a woman who clearly looked as though she had been going through a difficult treatment of some sort...waited for the automatic doors to open and when she came outside she threw up her arms and smiled for like 3 minutes without taking a single step. She sat on the bench with the Patient Care Assistant that escorted her outside. The PCA picked some of the blooms from the hyacinths, daffodils and the pansies and let the woman hold them in her hands. She put them up to her nose and sniffed them like it was the first time she had ever experienced a flower. Of course, I was overcome with joy and instantly got all choked up. It was really great. I have also noticed that alot of people say, "God bless you." when you help them wth directions or assist them in some way. I guess it can't hurt right? The religious fanatics say I'm going to hell for being a lesbian, so it's good to have wonderful old ladies bestowing blessings on me all day long. Tracy and I went and saw the new Denzel Washington movie Man On Fire the other night and it was quite a movie. I liked it, but I thought it was really sad too. Dakota Fanning is the cutest kid I have ever seen. I have loved her since she was on the SciFi channels show called TAKEN. Tomorrow night I am going to listen to my friend Sue do a reading of her new book. I am very excited. The book is a wonderful collection of poems and she is a really fascinating person. It's great to know her as the scientist and the artist. Speaking of artist...I have been yearning to do something creative now for awhile. I am not quite sure what it is as of yet, but I feel it. It keeps me awake at night. It pervades my thoughts at work. I can partially see it, yet not know exactly what it truly is about. I hope I figure it out soon because I am ready to let the creativity out. 7:37 p.m. - Sunday, Apr. 25, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
