Day 64 of 365

Numbers

Of completely different subjects

still, they are two that mean quite a bit 

in my life - one more than the other

One is a living being and keeps me company

so much of the time for over thirteen years.

The other is inanimate but representative of where 

I live and have for nearly forty years.

– My cat and My city

Maybe I don't identify anymore as LA Woman, 

no, those days of listening to that kind of music

have passed, but I am still a cat lady who lives in Los Angeles.

I am a seventy-year-old woman who often feels

much older. Other times my mind

drifts back in time – I feel younger.

Too many numbers cloud my mind

and identify me as someone to something.

It can be confusing and too many times

I want to forget all those numbers and just 

tell these organizations...HEY! I'm Michelle

I'm ME! I don't want to feel like a number. 

WOW! for not wanting to write last night - I sure made up for it tonight. Sasha is sitting by me. YAY! I love this cat. Decided, at least for now, not to read Identical Strangers. Going to start There There and see if it's a bit more interesting. I think I discovered where the pain in my leg is coming from - maybe from twisting out my knee. I've been icing it and I think my leg feels better. I'll see tomorrow, since I just started putting ice on it tonight. Still after I did it the first time, I felt a little better. Will work on using the magnets on the quad to see if that has any effect. Just so damned tired of not doing anything but sitting in bed. This is NOT where I want my life to be. I'm not that old yet. Okay, I guess I got that out. 😬😫😩😪💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
