122. Oh, hello. I’ve been expecting you

December 26, 2020January 2, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Saturday December 26 2020 Marks the spot. This appeared over my house. #truestory No more waiting to be marked. My spiral has closed. Since March I've avoided large gatherings, worn a face mask in public, washed my hands and used copious amounts of hand sanitizer, along with my new prescription of eczema meds because I … Continue reading 122. Oh, hello. I’ve been expecting you

121. Traveling hot

December 3, 2020December 5, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday December 3 2020 What is that noise? Is somebody riding a lawn mower on the highway? A glance in my side mirror reveals a small and very purple car approaching on my right. I'm no connoisseur of fine cars, so I have no idea of make or model. Actually, as this car passes, I … Continue reading 121. Traveling hot

117. Survive Hard

November 24, 2020November 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Tuesday November 24 2020 Because I’m cutting my morning a little tight, I don’t take the time to cue up a podcast for the office commute. It’s a thirty minute drive, if I keep it street legal, and I’m in need of entertainment. What’s a working girl to do but turn to the radio for … Continue reading 117. Survive Hard

116. Color of Doom

November 21, 2020November 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Saturday November 21 2020 Ohio has assigned its first Purple County this week, a phrase that would have induced a raised eyebrow a year ago. “What is this purple county you speak of?” we would have asked, as our thoughts wandered to flowers, cows, grapes, rain, and the artist formerly known as Prince. Today we … Continue reading 116. Color of Doom

115. When the streetlights come on

November 18, 2020November 23, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday November 18 2020 The Governor of the United States of Ohio, Mike DeWine, has issued a state-wide curfew to be effective tomorrow evening. And people are, of course, pushing back because how dare he tell us what to do. But after taking a deep breath and slowing down a notch to understand the intention, … Continue reading 115.

114. Palliative Nursing

November 17, 2020November 26, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Tuesday November 17 2020 A nurse in South Dakota has the night off.  She settles back into her sofa, dog curled by her side. The coping mechanism for tonight is a bowl of Oreo ice cream as she replays her last hospital shift in her mind. Something’s off, and honestly, things have been off balance … Continue reading 114.

105. Spiral

November 2, 2020November 22, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Monday November 2 2020 As COVID-19 in the United States is on the rise for the third time this year and breaking new daily records, we’re here in our corner of southwestern Ohio anxiously twiddling our thumbs and waiting our turn. So far no one in our immediate family circle or workplaces have even tested … Continue reading 105. Spiral

86. RBF Revisited

September 2, 2020October 7, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Wednesday September 2 2020 Of all the timely topics I listed in yesterday’s post, let’s cover a couple things that need to be captured for the future generations. Yep. I want to say that all this mask-wearing is messing with my resting bitch face. I’m told that I employ a particular facial expression when in … Continue reading 86. RBF Revisited

22. Finger vs. Potato

May 3, 2020November 8, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday May 3 2020 We broke quarantine yesterday. A friend invited us, along with a few other people, for a cookout. I griped about it a bit, but in the end said fine, let’s go. Figured it would be manageable to keep a reasonable distance from everyone and anyway, it’s outside. I don’t know, though. … Continue reading 22. Finger vs. Potato

13. Comparison

April 16, 2020August 16, 2020 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday April 16 2020 Woke up in a brighter mood today, dunno why. I’m fighting the urge to cling to my smartphone or Kindle and to get stuff done instead. Before I plugged the smartphone into the charger, to get it out of my hands for a while, I did see a quote that was … Continue reading 13. Comparison
