She had her coat on with the furry hood and her oldest worn boots. She stepped out and realized she forgot to put her leggings on under her jeans as the cold attacked her legs. She ran down the street to the store to get exactly what she needed: butternut squash, onions, peppers and crackers. She already had the cheese and chocolate. At the checkout she looked at the girl behind the counter and saw how sad she looked. Miserable, in fact, with tears in her eyes.  Read more >

She woke up with a urinary tract infection. Burning pain as she peed, the feeling that her bladder was dropping out of her body, blood on the toilet paper. Yeast infection well in effect, with an itch that was dull yet perpetual. The two go hand in hand, she found out. Blurred senstion behind her eyes, feeling utterly exhausted. She still didn't want those pills. So she took out her books and began to read. Bladder infection signifies being angry, usually at someone close to you, "pissed-off" literally.  Read more >

She wasn't kidding when she said she was ready for a change. The first day she had off she was watching the time fly by as she fulfilled all the tasks she planned for herself.

Then she saw a movie, ate lunch, had a snack, checked her email and read three chapters in her book. All of this was accomplished before 7:00pm.  Read more >

She thought the day would never come. She had forgotten what it was like, and began to believe there was no such thing, at least for her. In this lifetime she might not ever have one again, that feeling that was so familiar as a child, for weeks at a time. Months, even. She thought the only way would be to go back to school and become a teacher, since they're the only ones who get it. But it wouldn't be enough so she would have to work summers and that would negate the whole idea. She thought about what was happening to her and began to identify with prisoners on television.  Read more >
