Juggling things, sort of.
And it's true, I did. Got to
get some confidence.

30

Yard mariachi
I'd like this to be more mine
In some shade at least

29

So hungry, no go
On yoga because plans made
Didn't quite line up

28

Will I be able
to hang if I'm already
overwhelmed with it?

27

Practicing backpack
I shout, "It's hard to be a
passenger!" He laughs.

26

Police suspicious
Of my parking on Lucile
At four in morning

25

Despite our efforts

Our alleyway shoot shut down

Regroup, make new plan

24

I'm behind the scenes

Watching these women work and

I'm right there with them

23

Fake cowboy filled bar
I grab Jessi and we go
A best friend, time stops

22

Finding some footing
Just as I got into pace
that I can maintain

21

One of those time things.
Where you show to be counted
For system to work.

20

Make note for myself
"Sleep in." Put star next to it.
So that's what I did.

19

In my element
Show my work, words are on point
Still needed back up

18

Feel that stress kick in
Make sense with lists and word maps
I make it happen

17

Rinse out my mind with
Mike and Lisette as we stroll
Through the flea market

16

Teaches me physics
After adventure drive to
Top of Mt. Baldy

15

I've got weird feeling
Can't articulate my thoughts
Unsure, I push through

14

More or less, my days
Expand out beyond me and
I grab, pull them back

13

Our mail still goes to

Lucile. I go check, collect.

That is not our home.

12

To beach on back of
motorcycle plus ocean,
smell like lawn mower.

11

Cooking instincts say
Pour some wine before adding
Rest of vegetables.

10

Moments in, Mara
Says energy in my house
Is so comforting

9

Announce, "I've been played!"
once I'm in the car and learn
coffee's not first stop.

8

Snap judgement I made
on bus is revealed when she
says she likes my clogs.

7

Not knee, exactly
The popliteal fossa
Giving me trouble

6

There are all these rules
Everywhere and I can
Usually skirt them.

5

From bedroom window
Mailman goes by in the rain
Looks miserable

4

I don't know if he'd
Say these feelings out loud to
Anyone but me

3

Closed the blinds and slept
Last month I was so hungry
Now I hibernate

2

I'm not feeling it.
My knee keeps swelling when I
stand on it for hours.

1

enter the new year
with Between the World and Me.
