TToT – Five Day Week
Oh, hey…it’s Sunday afternoon already and I still haven’t managed to get my TToT post done. This was our first five day week since school started and yes that extra day does make a difference. We’re definitely settling into the school year routine, though, and that’s a pretty good thing. But let’s get this list…

The Closing
The tears in his eyes surprised him. “Oh, what the actual–there is no time for this emotional crap,” he warned himself. It was time to go and he was more than ready…ready to be finished with all of this, to leave the books and the shelves and the memories behind, to turn the page on…

TToT – Not Quite Full Swing
Sometimes life is just about getting it done. This is one of those weeks. I am short on time, but didn’t want to miss posting so we’ll go with pure function this week. With two weeks of school in – each only four days because we started back before Labor Day, we aren’t quite in…

A Perfect Compromise
“You’re perfect,” he breathed into the emptiness between them. In that instant, it was over. Over because of course she wasn’t, and never could be, perfect – not for him, not for anyone. Nor did she want to be. Perfect only proved this was far removed from anything like essence or actuality. She moved closer and whispered, “So are you,” grateful…

TToT – The Last Long Weekend
Friday evenings hold something glorious and exciting. But when Thursday is the new Friday and the weekend is four days long? That first evening of the weekend is even more thrilling.

TToT – The Interim
Unbelievably, here we are at the end of summer. School begins on Monday for Kidzilla, so this is our last weekend of summer freedom. But I still can’t pull my brain away from the thought that summer lasts until Labor Day and this whole back-to-school before Labor Day thing is nonsense. So for the next…

Six Sentence Stories – The Stage Door
“Look, you have the part and you’re wildly talented and everybody knows it so would you please just stop projecting your insecurities onto his behavior and creating a problem where there isn’t one?” “I don’t know…I guess you’re right…but the way he constantly berates me in front of everyone during rehearsals is beyond directing; it’s…

TToT – The Stuff of Distraction
Sometimes I get distracted. Last weekend, I intended to post a second TToT because I had all the things to be thankful for. Then I forgot where I wrote them. I found a draft in my drafts folder. It may or may not be the intended second TToT. Either way, I’m going to snag the couple…
