Friday Write-Day: Switching Gears
This week has not been as much of a sleep-deprived blur as last week. It’s still flown by surprisingly fast. My writing time was slim, but I managed to make some headway in a couple of other areas.

Lady Luck, fickle and cruel, Who will sleep with any fool, But only for a short time. Choosing lovers with divine randomness, In her arms, there's bliss; Fortune given with every kiss, But not for long. 'Til the next is chosen, And you're dismissed. Lady Luck, you uncaring whore, Who will you next bless, With your attention and caress? How can I earn more? How can I earn less? I'm always waiting for, My turn to be selected, by fate. So Lady Luck, please. Leave me be. I'd rather court The hardworking sort. One to inspire and motivate, Not one to make me wait, and wait, For something that may never come.

Friday Write-Day: Writing on Leave
This week has been… tiring / refreshing / fun / kind of a blur.
Between caring for a newborn, having a lot of visitors nearly every day, and just trying to adjust to our new home life, it’s been good.
