One Day
Eyes are watery and irritated.
Days have been long this week.
Nights have been short and restless.
People around me have made an effort to be as irritating as one can be before being hit by a moving train. (Is my state of mind, not theirs)
I stop for a moment and yell as hard as I can.
“Shut the Hell Up!!!”
There was no reactions, no frills, nothing.
The valve was released and the steam came out rushing.
Turned off the heat, the boiling stopped.
Light up the grill.
Put some peppers and onions on the foil,sprinkle oregano, black pepper and salt on top of the cubed potatoes,
Double wrap the foil and place on the grill…
After 4 minutes, I like the smell. Hit play and Dave Brubeck delights,
Crap! Is too busy. I need some Chet Baker instead. Good.
Pour some Oban in the glass, its pleasant out here in the porch, birds are playing on the lake. The smell builds up. I sit and sip on it slowly. Love For Sale is on…
Put the foil on the glass table surface and taste it.
Damn it!!! Its too salty!!!, I eat it anyway, (can’t waste food) I finish my Oban.
This time, no salt. Butter will do just fine. This time is good. Just the way it should be.
I take a deep breath and laugh.
No longer tired, hungry or irritated…
I fall asleep.
I feel better now.

miles davis "spanish key". that's what you need.
Thought you said in your profile that you couldn't write? You are wrong. Yes I can see how Brubeck could be a bit busy as certain moments of quiet.
You set a nice mood. Ta
GN, Thanks for stopping by, it is a honor for me to have someone come down from what I think is one of the most beautiful places on earth and visit fl. Miles, yes, when entertaining.
Herp Albert for ambiance, Louis Prima for partying.
Alison,
Thanks for the visit and compliment too. Brubeck is my creative selection, brainstorming, creating you know.
wes montgomery then. if you take a visit to my blog be sure to look at my "ghost bear". i enjoy your bird photos too.
GN, loved the Ghost Bear, great visual and words. Wes is the man.
Bogs,
Never thought about that, I don't really know what women like or want but if those things are it, then I'm glad to know. I'm glad-er that people take time to visit and write about my thoughts, I try to expand by learning about them too, the talent pool in this community is incredible; everyday someone wows me with their writing, comedy, paintings, storytelling or by simply being themselves. You are in one of those categories Bogs.
For the first time in my life i have been motivated to convey my thoughts to the world, something I thought was impossible.
Thanks.
Hey Hey Q Baby,
A glimpse into the life of a Q.
Neet.
Now come over to Vanilla Bitch and find out how abnormal you are, then post it...K?
Here's what you've done: You just made me zap away from temperatures around freezing and fog to boot AND you let me in on the party. I was there. It was warm and I could feel the way you got away from the grind. I knew how it felt to relax, felt you unwind and exhale. And for a moment I knew how Summer will be.
Damn good.
EXCELLENT new photo Q bee doo bee doo!
