Bureaucracy sucks

Bureaucracy sucks, and yet we give it much power over us. That is all. I got jerked around this week by some terrible bureaucracy.


This post's theme word: barratry, "The practice of stirring up of groundless lawsuits," or "an unlawful act by a ship's master or crew that harms the owner of the ship," or "the buying or selling of positions in church or state."

Nervous healing

It has been three years since I had full sensation in my knee, but the nerves continue their slow repair. One spot -- one corner -- of my knee itches. Just above one of my surgical scars. It is just one nerve, itching, terribly. Intensely. Scratching does not sate it. I'm hoping that, having now reconnected itself to my nervous system, this nerve will now tone it down; maybe the rest of my nerves ("my brain") will tune this one out.

So itchy.


This post's theme word: quiescent, "dormant."
