Basura and I are so mystified, When Sofia gets a joyful tear in her eye. It’s when Bulk Pick-up is coming our way, She’s excited like a kid on Christmas Day. People put out, all the things they don’t want, And the neighborhood, Sofia does haunt. Finding chairs, hinges, tables…
Funny the way the mind works, when getting the COVID19 Vaccine yesterday, my body decided to have a conversation with itself. The Guitarist And The COVID 19 Vaccine ~ Katrina Curtiss 3/4/2021 My Left Arm: “So we get to get the COVID vaccine today, I vote we get it in…
It was the week of February 15th 2021. It began snowing late Sunday night, we forgot to drip the faucets, the one thing we could have done but didn't in preparation for a predicted snow storm in San Antonio. The weather predictions are undependable, but in this case, they were…
It was fun at first, being from Ohio, snow doesn’t excite me much, but seeing others enjoy it, that’s always fun. Then it became personal, with frozen pipes and power outages, seeing my neighbors struggle, myself, my cat. Tensions ran high as we watched our ceilings for leaks, our candles…

It was just another day, lessons taught, Worked in my pajamas, No battles were fought. Washed two cars, one dirty from dust, Waxed them both to protect from rust. Spoke with a friend far away, Who fights a warrior’s battle everyday. We talked for and hour with lots to say,…
Basura cat was going tippy tap, What a strange noise, being made by my cat. She is busy learning Morse code today, To hear what the outgoing president has to say. He’s no longer welcome on social media sites, No longer is he writing in the middle of the night.…
