The following was written for the old FridayPhrases prompt back on the old site five years ago: I wrote it before I even knew my sister was ill. Now it haunts me. 1/2

Sending out extra love into the night sky 🌌 to everyone feeling a bit lost tonight. Because I’m there too, you’re not alone. ✨💫💗🫂

Found this from May of ‘24 and it feels even more relevant to me now. I wrote: These days, when I see my face in the mirror, it's your eyes staring back at me, through me, asking what I'm going to do with time you did not have. #griefsky

Sometimes once a wave of grief is triggered it becomes a rip current 😔💔 Feel like it’s pulling me under today. I miss my sister so much. #griefsky

No stone #monument could remind me of you more than the songs we sang #whistpr #monument

Look at how close! If you can't donate, share please!

A-ha's 'Take On Me' was first released in 1984 but only found global success after its 1985 re-release, thanks to its iconic rotoscope animated music video. A perfect blend of innovation and timeless pop.

My eldest sister sent me a photo I’d never seen today from my first bridal shower when I was nineteen. It is me with my darling late sister and my dear late mentor 😭😭😭

Emergency meds helped shut down my brain so I could finally sleep last night. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. Grateful for dreamless sleep and might repeat dose tonight to give my brain what my doctor calls a good reset.

Your heart beyond pure without concept of #malice so rare in this world #Emoetry #malice

If we all succumb to the same #eventuality the stopping of breath the silence of heart let us love now while we can life’s fleeting flowers because no one can know the number of our hours 24 September 2025 #vss365 #prompt word, is #eventuality

I can remember sitting still at the #piano playing all I would hear without music, by ear #vssdaily #piano

singing, so #cheerful laughing in the autumn sun your eyes tell the tale #whistpr #cheerful

3rd pair of glasses acquired (not the ones from the university, that will be next week) these are slightly better than pair 2 but still basically useless unless I’m holding still. Old glasses still better. I’m so stressed out I took my emergency med dose tonight hoping I’ll finally get some sleep.

Tired tonight friends. Hoping for a good rest for us all tonight. Those on the other side of the world, please keep it spinning for us for a little while? Sending love, love, love out into the night sky 🌌 Remember you’re not alone, I care 💗✨💫

Music doesn't just cross my mind. It lives in there.

First day of fall and I’m already wondering when it’ll be time to put up the Christmas tree. I know, I know. But the lights really help me with the darker evenings. ✨

I saw someone post that they switched their dishes out to fall ones and I wonder am I the only one who has the same dishes all year? Plastic at that because I’m a danger with glass 😞 I’m not stylish, this I know…

Yub nub!

I once proved to a haughty boy that being #blonde is not a talent; with a couple hundred dollars and a good stylist anyone can do it. #vssdaily #blonde

#berry colored lips storming eyes that burn with fire indomitable #whistpr #berry

Waiting is hard, especially medical/health waiting. Especially when you’re already chronically ill. I’m still waiting on a couple things, the aphakia glasses is one. My heart goes out to everyone waiting on anything. Sending love, love, love out into the night sky 🌌 You’re not alone, I care 💗✨💫

Sending love, love, love out into the night sky 🌌 especially to friends who have had a really rough day/week/month/year/etc. I care, please remember that 💗✨💫 You’re not alone.

Happy things for the day: new music and also three of the clearance cardigans I ordered from JCPenney online are here and they are awesome! So soft and fit great. Liz Claiborne sweaters for half off! Small joys. 💗 Two of them even have pockets.

Night night sweet dreamies We don’t experience the same rain Some have umbrellas some have roofs & some only have themselves That’s why we should be kinder, slower to judge and quicker to understand We never know how heavy someone’s rain is until we’ve stood where they are

Such bad nightmares again last night. 😞

So yeah, the new Sarah McLachlan album is a m a z i n g 🥰✨

Glasses news! University optical clinic called, my glasses are in! Now we just have to work into the schedule somehow the time to go and get them and see if they actually work. It’s a long haul out there and they’re only open 8-5 Monday through Friday. They weren’t due in until mid October! 😳

I’m glad I’m a nobody so that after I die no one will want to make an AI of me. Ghoulish in the extreme.
