Another missed day…

I apologize for seeming to be a lazy blogger, but I missed yesterdays entry…Oh well…

I brought Sweetie Pie to the vet yesterday to be spayed, and to have her nails trimmed. This was all done at a very well respected vet nearby. All went well but the whole day I was worried that something horrible would happen, like they would de-claw her or something. We had a kitten years ago who dies during her ‘operation’, but that is a rare case. I worried needlessly. I picked her up this morning and brought her home. She licked her scar for a while, but has since stopped doing that. She was pretty cranky when I got her home, but she has settled right back in to her pre-estrus routine of sleeping, eating, and being such a sweetie pie that she has earned her name. She will remain indoors for about a week and I’ll keep a watch on the incision for redness or infection.

My mom has gone to Maine for the week, so it is just the 2 of us here.

I had so many relevant things to write about, but suddenly there is nothing…

Oh well, so it goes.

Tuesday with yet some more haiku…

I need to find out how to make pictures of my jailhouse art as well. Maybe by next week I can put up the visual stuff as well as my writings. Well, anyway, here are the haiku for today…

#1.
The narrow window
that lets in just enough light
to read your letter.

#8.
A shined steel mirror
throws a wavy reflection
on my waking face.

#9.
Walking to and from
one cold room to another
watched by cameras.

These were early works, obviously, before I started to write more about nature and what I knew to be outside of the walls of the jail in which I was housed.
