They do - but aside from the cartoonish ending - it tends to be the characters' thoughts/observations rather than actions. So the characters' thoughts of hoisting up of the acme anvil, the plot to lure the therapist under the window where the piano movers are going to slip on the newly waxed oak floors etc.

No title, but the prompt was to write something involving "open." (And this is a first draft!0
I open my soul to you What comes out--does it stay in that room? Or do you carry it with you In your mind, in your heart? Do you leave it behind when you walk out the door, get in your car, drive home? Or does it linger within you, the story I set free, to which you bore witness as I cried on your couch? Are my emails unwelcome reminders of what you locked behind the door, as you returned to your life, perhaps grateful you don't have my head? Or are they just reminders of what's been floating around-- the care, the concern, the...love? And once I open my soul-- how do I close it again? Or is it not possible-- that once I've let the feelings out, they live and breathe, but now as part of you, not just me, and by having you share the burden, they become more bearable? |

Think I like it better with one chunk removed:
I open my soul to you What comes out--does it stay in that room? Or do you carry it with you In your mind, in your heart? Do you leave it behind when you walk out the door, get in your car, drive home? Or does it linger within you, the story I set free, to which you bore witness as I cried on your couch?

I always encourage my students to enjoy the editing process.
They are very skeptical. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live. Oscar Wilde Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. |

I won’t woo you with Hallmark cards then!
I am teaching a July summer class and because it’s part of our online-only university, they moved the materials from Blackboard to the new Canvas LMS for me. I just peeked...and yup, they screwed it up. |

We've been moved to Canvas also. Spending part of my summer taking online classes on how to use Canvas. It's isn't particularly friendly for English classes (reformats submissions), so trying to figure out work-arounds.

Hi couch. Been trying to relax this weekend but glad it's basically over. Spent Father's Day with H and his family for a few hours. They cooked out which was nice of them, but no one ever talks to me when I'm there. My mother in law asked what I did to my leg (SH scar) but didn't say anything else to me. Kids and I went and bought H a few new shirts that they were excited to pick out and give to him. Got my youngest a much needed haircut yesterday. Maybe TMI or weird for some, but I'm doing a milk bath breastfeeding photo shoot in a few weeks with her. I've been trying to find some hair crowns for us to wear and looking at some lace dresses.
Possible trigger:
They said they have a collection of lace gowns we can use but I haven't decided what I want. I'm more self conscious about my SH scars on my legs than anything. |

I have been making strawberry jam and slicing strawberries for the dehydrator and hulling strawberries for the freezer all. day. long. (And I did laundry and weeded and washed the bajillion dishes that go with jam-making. And made a potato salad.)
In January I'll be glad that I put all this work in. Right now I'm tired from standing all day, and I don't care whether I see another strawberry ever again. But the jam is delightful. I got a dark soft strawberry variety, lovely flavor. I had some lime juice in the freezer, exactly right to brighten up the strawberry .

Canvas to me is like doing fine surgery with a hammer not a scalpel. Blackboard didn’t do everything I wanted it to, but it was much more precise for managing and organizing online courses.
