A Much Needed Day At The Beach
A Short Poem
Give me sunny beaches
The smell of banana boat being smeared
Planes towing advertisements
Palm trees swaying
Heat radiating up to a blue clear sky
Crashing waves with white foam lining
Give me no work and a day at the beach
Until
Everyone has the same idea
Parking is as close as inland home
Juggling and walking is the admission price
Beach fleas bite
The gulls steal the pre-made sandwiches
The fog rolls in adding a unexpected chill
Sand in every crevice
The book along with the bag are swept away with the tide
A dog pees in the water that was just my swimming pool
Boredom and the inability to be alone set in
The sunscreen, now long gone, didn't completely do it's job
Leaving the question and hope, "Don't I have work that needs to be done?"

The Conceptual Planet: Into Outer Space-Micah's Story
Days blend and continue on undisturbed for the most part. There is a lot of waiting in between workouts and eating. There is one repair we are working on. Other than the repair it's all monitoring and stand by. Monotony feels more tirtiring than his workouts and work. Days ends come around and sleep is attempted. We all are adjusting and have interacted minimally so far. We seem humbled by our surroundings and task. Sutton is the crew member easiest to be around. Today passes uneventfully. Sleep comes after counting to around 89. Probably out of boredom and a desire to stop counting.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

That dog peeing in the “pool” had me laughing! Next time, maybe just bring a hammock and call it a day?
