Theme Week 4 Re-do

The workday is over, the weather isn’t too cold, and I’m off for a walk. The extra layers under my jeans and shirt are enough to keep me warm. With my I-pod on I don’t hear sounds around me, only my music. Today I noticed cars getting too close to me, dogs on porches, and puddles from melting snow. Half way through my walk the sun went down and it got colder. I had to zip my coat up higher, put my gloves back on, and walk faster.


The long workday is over, the weather is warmer than it’s been and I’m off for a walk. The extra layer of clothing that I have on will keep me warm. With my I-pod playing under my ear band, I practice my singing, knowing that I am nearer to my new career. Nobody is invited to go with me. Today I noticed cars getting too close to me, dogs on porches, and puddles from melting snow. Half way through my walk the sun went down, and the walking got slippery in areas. Twice I had to throw my arms out to my sides to use as balance poles to keep from falling. I had to zip my coat up higher, put my gloves back on, and try to walk faster.


The long workday is over, the weather is warmer than it’s been, and I’m off for a walk. The extra layer of clothing that I have on will keep me warm, but it does make me look ten pounds heavier. With my I-pod playing under my ear band, I practice my singing, knowing that I am nearer to my new career, the next American Idol. Nobody goes with me. They don’t like my singing. Today I noticed cars getting too close to me, and dogs on porches…or that’s where they started. When almost home, the little black poodle five houses from mine jumped off his porch and came running at me. With my music on I didn’t hear him, but I saw him, and could read his mouth movements. I stopped quickly and turned to him, throwing my arms in the air. He stopped, and that’s when I ran towards him. He turned around, ran like hell to the porch, and proceeded to hide under the chair in the corner. I kept an eye on him as I slowly continued on. As it got colder, walking got a little treacherous in places. I can still see the look on the drivers face as I almost went down two times. I felt like a tight ropewalker as I used my arms as balance poles. Maybe walking today wasn’t a good idea.

  1. Reta, please see my second comment on the other piece for this week.

    This one also works fine for week 4, adding, enhancing, stretching, fibbing, giving the plainjane basic some glitter and bling by the end.
