Lucia came out again to play
Threw on her eventide glow
Plume, a punishing gray raven
Is not the Lucia you all know
Submitted to Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Eventide glow and when I searched this phrase I ended up in a totally different reality
Today I’m feeling:
Sore. My hip is a little bit more recovered, but I zonked out last night on an extra Tramadol, which saw me move very little and now I have a sore neck too.
The recent pain and annoyance of it has put me in a low mood and I have no motivation for anything much today.
Today I’m grateful for:
Not having anything in particular to get done today. I’m not in the mood for anything.
It wasn’t only late this afternoon that I remembered that I hadn’t taken any meds today, which may account for my low mood a little too.
The best thing about today was:
The workers have finally laid the concrete for the road and should all be good by tomorrow. Then we can see what needs to be done to join our road up with it.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
Amy was pretty frustrated this morning after realising that the gardeners hadn’t bothered with one small part of the garden. She kept complaining to me but there’s nothing that I can do to help.
Something I learned today?
Thaksin has been given a royal pardon and will do something connected with the government again.
Review your acts, Good and bad.
I barely did anything either way! I did turn off the TV when we were eating, though, so that Amy and I could talk a little.


What a unique approach to the prompt! Brilliant writing, Shaun.

Thanks Eugi. I like the phrase eventide glow but it felt a bit too obvious to me as a prompt. Sometimes when I feel like this I like to search online and see what else comes up and discovered way too much information about something very unfamiliar!

And that is a great idea, Shaun. When I respond to prompts, I like to veer off the beaten track too.
