Absence

 

I really cannot believe how long I have not logged on. I actually forgot my blog password. My new comments are from spambots. It's a deserted playground around here. Really, for anyone who has been reading this blog these past few years knows that fall is my absolute favorite season, and I completely skipped most of it. I skipped Halloween, people. That's major ,(though I may try and fill you in). So where have I been? Exhausted. Tired. Fatigued. A problem I have trouble with initially due to having a 'poor disposition', (been watching too many masterpiece theater period pieces on netflix), but it is more compounded now. And on top of that, it's been a wild ride around here these past few months. Crazy, awesome busy this Halloween in my Etsy shop with my Never Ending Story Childlike Empress tiara. Broken down cars. Vehicle sharing. A new adorable kitten. A ringworm infestation from said adorable kitten. Allergies and stinky infections in my dog. But I have a new thing to cling to. My trusty Zofran, that works but only oh so well. So, to be ever elusive, here is one of my favorite poems by Sylvia Plath to give another hint. I'm coming back to blogging ladies, but it may be spotty... especially in May when things are really going to change around here! But for now, I'm thankful for my dear husby who is currently making me pancakes for dinner.

Metaphors

I'm a riddle in nine syllables,
An elephant, a ponderous house,
A melon strolling on two tendrils.
O red fruit, ivory, fine timbers!
This loaf's big with its yeasty rising.
Money's new-minted in this fat purse.
I'm a means, a stage, a cow in calf.
I've eaten a bag of green apples,
Boarded the train there's no getting off.

-Sylvia Plath
