Pat Blythe – Give Me One More Time….

 

 

Yesterday (Monday) was a “Chris Day”. A day when his death hits me like a ton of bricks. All the memories come rushing back and the gut-wrenching anguish just takes over and I can barely breathe. The emotion rolls over me like a tidal wave, literally bringing me to my knees. It’s unexpected and absolute. I’m ironing one minute and on the floor the next. I had been listening to a new song by Julian Taylor called “One Time”. The lyric running inside my head….”give me one (more) time to feel your light”….and that was the proverbial piece of straw.

Roxanne Tellier: The Clean Up Woman

I’m the first to admit – I’m not a great housekeeper. There are far too many other things I’d rather be doing than futzing with cleaning products. Oh, sure, there are a few things I will do – like empty the ashtrays, full of cigarette butts, hiding the evidence of the nicotine I’m not supposed to be ingesting. Or rounding up the empties for a lucrative trip to The Beer Store. I have some standards after all.
