SKYWATCH
SNAPPED THIS ONE AT THE ZOO A FEW WEEKS AGO.
There's a link to skywatch on my sidebar. Feel free to visit.
RAMBLE
Having a great day. Went for my follow up appointment after coming off my happy pills. All is good and I'm making excellent progress. Woohoo. I'm back to my old self again and it feels great. The hardest part for me was not being in touch with my emotions. For example, I could have been watching a heartbreaking movie, feeling sad but unable to cry (I usually cry at the drop of a hat). Anyway, I know I'm back to normal because I cried over who left Idol the other day. Sad but true. BTW Please don't mention any Idol updates as lil ole New Zealand is a few weeks behind (as usual).
So you'll be pleased to know that usual KB transmissions will resume. Actually, me thinks I've been back on track for a couple of weeks now.
*Does Happy dance* or should that be moody dance now?
I was trying to explain to a friend the other day how it feels to be depressed. It's hard to explain but I think I'll give it a try for my 55 this week.
FLASH 55 - THE WELL
Bruised and battered, bravely hanging on.
Mind and body have found rythme; slipping further into the well. No longer calling for help or trying to climb. Her focus is on staying out of the darkness below. The finality of it terrifies her. A rope appears, she reaches out and is pulled back into the light.
Flash Fiction - Each Friday, I compose a short story of 55 words - no more, no less. If you would like to join in the fun and games... post your story and report to the boss - If you're not interested in contributing a story, feel free to read the other entries. I'm sure any comments you have would be appreciated.
Happy reading and writing!
IN OTHER NEWS
I treated myself to some new bras this morning. The shop assistant asked if I wanted to pay $0.20 for a bag. WTF? Bit of a cheek if you ask me. I declined but felt rather foolish walking around the shopping centre with two bras in my hand.
I'm heading out to have dinner with my parents tonight. It's Friday, I wonder what we'll be having? I'm spending the rest of the evening with G and her fella. We're going to knock back a few to celebrate their move. They will be leaving early in the morning *sob*.
That's all folks. Thanks for making it to the end of my post.
Love KB

That´s one great wispy zoo sky! Yup, don´t save 0,20 on the bags, you end up looking like a dork.:-)
ReplyDeleteA lucky escape there. Saved in a flash, as it were :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope now that your off the pills you can stay out of the well.
ReplyDeleteGood story. I do think it helps one to understand what depression feels like.
My 55 is done an up but don't let that depress you.
Excellent 55 today.
ReplyDeleteMy '55' is posted. Scroll down on the Friday blog or use the link provided at the very top! Have a great weekend.
Love those pictures of the sky.
ReplyDeleteNext time carry a grocery bag in your purse...Cheeky AND Cheesy if you ask me..
ReplyDeleteExcellent 55 Karen, depression has no easy solution. I know!!
Ride it out, and count your many many blessings. Thanks for playing this week, you are an awesome writer..
Have a Great Week-End....G
Now our youngest dragon is depressed. I think he fell in your well. We are looking for a rope.
ReplyDeleteInteresting 55,
We dragons have posted.
me thinks your ramble and your 55 work well together.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a reason to be carrying around bras (well two reasons) Bras are just one of the things I get lumbered with carrying on family shopping trips but I wouldn't have paid for a bag, I'd save the trees.
Good to hear you're feeling better m'dear. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great 55 - back into the light!
It's disgusting that they charge for bags - I bought a pair of shoes this morning and the assistant said "would you like a bag" of course I said "Yes" thinking why wouldn't I want one?
She then said that'll be 4pence for the bag! "Keep it" I said and popped the shoes into my voluminous handbag until I got to the car! Cheek!
Clouds have a wonderful shape.

Over here, a lot of stores make you bring your own bag, or will charge you for one...
ReplyDeleteThe rope of hope is ALWAYS there.
ReplyDeleteGreat 55ve. Pay for the carry bag! are they crazy!!
Great sky shot. Brilliant blue, but also interesting clouds high up.
ReplyDeletegreat 55. i do know a little what depression feels like :-/ .20 for a bag. they're going to start charging in vegas where my son & parents live .30 a bag if you want plastic.
