News & Views: Rainy Day edition

1. It's raining, and it's going to be raining all day, and Minor's practice has been cancelled and for some reason the cancellation threw me into a sort of 'what do I do?' state of inertia. I have been wandering around trying to settle on doing something.

2. I went out with an umbrella to get some steps around the apartment complex and...I found my favorite hat in the pocket of the raincoat! So that's where it went! I thought I'd lost it somewhere. I know it's Magical Thinking but I believe the universe gives me a birthday gift every year and finding my hat is IT for this year.

3. Prompt #19 in Jo Bell's 52 is 'first time.' And I really don't want to write a poem about my first time but I couldn't think of another way to spin the prompt. So here is a 16-word senryu:

Oh, that’s it? The ground
did not swallow me up like
I’d thought. Still. That’s it.

Day 19 word: Rain

19. What do you secretly hoard?

It's a bad idea on several fronts to keep candy in the bedroom (as opposed to the kitchen), but I do hide some in my suitcase in the closet. Also, maybe not rising to the level of HOARD but I am a +1 back-up kind of person for all kinds of cleaning supplies and paper goods and household stuff. I also have a collection of fun postcards (which is growing!).
