I Cannot Write a Post Today.

Posted on the 14 December 2013 by Rarasaur @rarasaur

I now have some sort of stomach bug and haven’t been able to hold down food all day. I even left work, which is an oddity for me. I love my job and boss– and pride myself on a near perfect attendance through everything school and work related.

Since I have short bursts of coherency and since it seems to be one thing after another lately, I think I’m going to try some micro-esque blogging and perhaps post multiple times throughout the day just to keep the light in my mind turned on.

Rest is nice, but – oh, it’s weary.

In the meantime, here’s a post about blogging excuses, inspired by “Sick”, one of my favorite poems by Shel Silverstein.

“I cannot write a post today,”
said Mrs. Rara Queen.

“I have the cold,
my computer’s old.
I cannot see my screen.

I think my eyes are shrinking.
My feet feel awfully round.

The clouds are raining,
the sink ain’t draining:
my dishware nearly drowned.

I cannot write a post right now:
I’m busy here in bed.

I’m brewing tea,
I bruised my knee,
I’m working in my head.

Yesterday, I ate too much;
Today, I ate too little.

My theme needs changing,
my widgets, arranging…
My blog looks like a Skittle.

No I cannot write a post today–
I cannot find my roar.

I left it there,
I lost it here.
Have you seen Rarasaur?”
