It's all about Holly


My friend Holly (pictured) helped me set up this blog site as we sat and are still sitting at Panera listening to jazz and trying to forget the migraine I've been fighting for two weeks. Delsie, her service dog, is lying contentedly on the floor, hogging the aisle as usual. Delsie is turning 11 this year- something we try not to think about but find ourselves thinking about anyway.
Holly and I meet diligently every Friday (this is our second Friday) to write. Currently it's Friday, 5:43 pm and we haven't started writing yet. Fred is picking me up in a half hour. I guess this blog entry means I'm writing, but we're supposed to be doing writing prompt exercises. We were instead prompted by Starbucks; then Holly was prompted to buy a new hot pink Nano at Best Buy (necessary tool for the writing process). Now she is prompted to watch online movie trailers, one of which is about a girl who has Friedreichs Ataxia, the condition Holly has. I have fibromyalgia and chronic TMJ that plagues me with severe headaches, but, of course, there is no trailer for a movie about that. It's all about Holly!
