2023

On New Years Eve
I sat on the bottom step
Of the staircase
Near the open doors of my living room
Where my friends
Whom I had so excitedly invited
Partied and chatted
And I felt somehow uninterested
In joining in
But as always
I reap and regret when I wish
In days since passed
That I had really been there
Not just in body
But mind too

(So, I wasn't sure how to start my first journal entry, but I thought it was probably fitting to put my first poem of the year here. It's been three months since New Years, which is crazy, so not so relevant, but I still kind of like this one.)

Snow

It snowed yesterday, but it's already gone today. It was supposed to be my day off, but they switched my rotor around and I ended up being off today instead, which is kind of annoying. I really wanted to take my dog for a walk in the snow, since he absolutely loves it.

Everyone always complains about the snow, which I don't really get. I thought everyone liked snow? All the schools were closed too, even though the roads were all clear. And yet, no one really cancelled their appointments for the clinic I work in. We were expecting the phone to ring all morning but I think one guy called?

I went into my mums work in the morning (we left early because of the snow, but it actually took barely anytime to get into town with the schools closed) and the phone there was ringing non-stop with cancellations since people didn't want to go out in the snow.

I wish it would snow again today.
