The security guard is guilty

Mom called today and said she was shaking – that is usually how we start a conversation, so I said, cause why? – the narcotics cabinet at the nursing home had been broken into and about 600 or 6000 (I can’t remember the amount) of narcotics were stolen. It was ripped from the wall she said. So they arrested the night security guard. Why? I asked. Because he has a tool box and you need…

Love’s labors not lost, but found

I woke this morning after a restless night’s sleep – I flip flopped all over the bed, head towards the feet, feet towards the side – couldn’t find any rest.

I’m trying to get my house in order today (read: me) and so I’m tuning out the outside world and tuning in. I was taping some stuff into my scrap book that I have half ass kept up with for 15 years. I stumbled across an interview with Jane…

Thoughts by Rachel Part Deux

Arlene’s tail is now looking like a rat tail – it’s a bloody hairless mess – I went to Walgreens and got the Sulfadene to fix it. But I wonder why Arlene always has to be a manifestation of me not paying attention to my life. Can’t my chaos stay contained and not spill over to her little life, or anyone else’s life for that matter. It’s all about containment. Or is it? I hate…
