No Baby Yet

No baby yet. She is taking her sweet time. Last night she was only dilated to 2. Travis promised me he would call me and send pictures as soon as she gets here.
These are poems I wrote for Travis years ago.
When you were very, very small
I used to dance with you cradled in my [...]

My hospital is in deep shit trouble. Seems the CEO and two of his buddies who were also on the board were helping themselves to money that did not belong to them. The CEO got lung cancer and had to step down in January.
The new guy who stepped in discovered what a mess we are [...]

There was some strange energy in the air yesterday.
There are 5 stages of grief that you go through and
yesterday was anger for me. I was so angry I could
have spit fire. I was angry at Bruce my husband for

Instead I wrote all day. I told the story of why I [...]

I moved out here it seems a long time ago but it’s only been 8 years. Minnesota to the East Coast.
In those eight years I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and last but not least breast cancer, ductal carcinoma. Do you think my body is trying to tell [...]
