Five More Questions

1. You find that you are being stalked by a small cat who is taking copious notes on your life.  What do they find that you spend your day doing?
   During the school year we're up early, around 5:30.  The school bus comes at 6:50 and I have my second cup of coffee once Liam's safely on the bus.  Normally I would start work by 7:00 but these days I'm not working quite as much.  I usually fill my time surfing the 'net or reading. When I'm healthier, of course, I will go back to working during the day. On nice days I try to get outside for a couple of hours and often do my proofreading from a chair in my backyard.
   My boy gets home from school at 2:45 and from then until bedtime it's all about him -- homework, supper, playtime, bath, snack and story, then bed. After he's in bed I usually watch TV or read until I fall asleep, earlier and earlier these days. 
   Gah, my life is so boring these days, but the cat can't see me gathering my strength and getting healthy, now, can she?
2. Someone writes a song about your life.  What is it called and what is the chorus?
   Hahaha, nice one, Kerri. I couldn't write a chorus for love nor money. But if anyone else wants to take a stab at this, write me a song and call it Finding My Way Back Home.
3. Wild monkeys steal your car.  What do they find in the backseat?  And what, oh what, do you have hidden in the trunk?
   In the backseat are a stack of beach towels and a hoodie. I don't have a trunk (I drive a van) but in the wayback are three beach chairs. From time to time Liam stashes swords and long guns in the wayback, too.
4. Your thoughts are suddenly not just in your head anymore - they're being written above your head on a magical blackboard.  (Bit of a stretch, I'm aware.)  What keeps popping up on the board? 
   This week it's all about my upcoming CT scan and possible surgery. It's illustrated with lovely drawings of my liver with NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF TUMORS.
   There is also a free-floating monologue directed at a certain someone who is on my last fucking nerve, but to whom I will not say what's in my head/on the blackboard, simply because it's not worth the agita it would cause.
5. The ol' hot air balloon bit:  What do you want to fly over?
   This brings me back to my small tropical island. Julia's question asked about vacations and that's what I chose, but I can see flying over it in my hot-air balloon and finding the perfect spot on which to land. I can also see making it a permanent vacation, but that's for another set of questions, I think. 
   Basically anyplace that's more water than land is where I'd want to go.

These five questions came from Kerri at Six Until Me. Kerri's a terrific writer and newly engaged, so go visit her and give her your best wishes.

Those are good questions (and nice answers) and when you get on the hot-air-balloon, can I come too???

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I could write that song for you. You'd have to tweak it, but I could get down the bones, if you know what I'm sayin'.

Would it be lame to return to blogging after a longer than expected and getting longer absence by answering interview questions stolen from somebody else? Hmm?

:-)

I think your life would make an incredible song...one with a lot of guts and soul and passion!

Oooh, great answers!

And yes, I firmly believe that the little stalker cat can see that you're gathering strength. They're taking notes on that as well. :)
