Despair, Devastation & Dysfunction: Simply Heather

Join Us in Despair

You know when you were a kid and your diary was full of angst and woe-is-me-ness? That is what this blog is for. Lost your job, dog is sick, someone stole your parking spot, crashed your car, just generally glum? This is the place to put all that lovely grey and those long drawn out sighs.

Lists of sad songs. Depressing movie reviews. Top ten reason to stay in bed. All things not happy. Bring them here.

Are you sick, are you tired? Have you been sick & tired for a year? Share it here. Unhappy, gloomy, dismal, down in the dumps, miserable only. Did you have a bad day, a month... share. Not that tragedy and despair can't be funny, contributors are welcome to make their posts goofy, witty, laugh-out-loudable, just not happy or upbeat.

Would you like to be part of the DD&D project? Do you have a sad story, a rant, a poem of a lost love? Join us as a contributor.

My Own Space

I need a little now and then

Some time for me

Away from it all

Without obligation to anyone

My own space

I need a little now and then

Hearing without noise

In a quiet place

Leaving questions unanswered

My own space

I need a little now and then

Words without speech

Drifting through my mind

No one to listen

My own space

I need a little now and then

Guilt left behind me

In search of freedom

Releasing inner desires

My own space

I need a little now and then

My own space

Agitated with my agitator

I'm forever doing laundry in this home with four males; my husband and the three little men (oh...okay, and me too...I make dirty laundry too). So, it wasn't unusual for me to begin the day with a load of washing. What was unusual was that I noticed the agitator inside was almost as if it was trying to trick me into believing that it was getting the job done. The noise was right, it sounded like it was working properly. It was moving, too; but it wasn't completely turning.

I've noticed it slipping now and then but not like this morning, it was hardly turning at all. {SIGH}

So...here I am, sharing my devastation with you:

Yes, I am AGITATED with my agitator!

Grumpy

You know them

They know you

Those feelings of being unhemmed

A person torn into two

Those days

Not so much in full

But seemingly in ways

A moment feels so dull

No talk, No smile, No happy

Just for a minute or more

A feeling not good, to be grumpy

Please just don't come to my door
