sleep habits and germaphobic tendencies

My sleep habits are way out of the boundary of 'bad'; their Terrible! Well, actually, if I compare from a few years ago, maybe they've gotten better? And then worse? And then better? And then worse? Oh? Do I see a pattern going on here. Well, I really need to straighten it out. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and (I'm not gonna lie) I'm actually dreading all the company coming over tomorrow. It's just...awkward. There's people I'm not so good with cramming into our little house. My sister's soon to be fiance, and she's not here... I'm quite sure my dad will behave himself(I hope). If I'm forced to eat my dad's fruit plate, I'm going to make myself throw-up(not serious, since that's even scarier). He never washes his hands for anything. I've become sort-of a germaphobe because of him. Eww.

Lemon Elegy

Lemon Elegy

You had been so waiting for a lemon
In your sad and white and bright deathbed,
Your perfect teeth bit with a crunch
Into the lemon you took from my hand.
A topaz coloured scent arose.
Those few drops of heavenly lemon juice
Suddenly made you normal again.
Your shining lucid eyes smiled gently,
You gripped my hand with such a healthy strength!
Though there was a storm in your throat,
In these last moments of your life
You became the old Chieko again,
You focused a life of love into one moment
And then you took a big breath
Like on the mountain peaks long ago,
And in that breath your engine shut down.
Today, once again, under the cherry blossoms
By your photograph, I'll put a coldly shining lemon.

I just love the Chieko Poems, especially this one.

The Chieko Poems 

weeding

Just weeding the strawberries and dodging the spiders. I wanna go rollerblading.

pickled plums

I'm so tired. My eyes feel like pickled plums.

Tsundere Grapefruit

I have a connection with grapefruit. First of all, it's bitter, but sweet on the edges, like a tsundere. Of course, I'm not saying I'm a tsundere, that would just be weird, well maybe. My mother always drank grapefruit juice when she was pregnant with me, so it's interesting at least.

Scarred Orange

I love the scarred oranges.

Lemonade

If things were backwards, then Lemonade would make Lemons, which would be given to Life. I like Lemonade with different fruits with it, though. The taste is supreme.

Fruit in Season

Apples. They are the fruit I always crave when Autumn arrives. Okay, let me get this straight.

Spring: strawberries
Summer: Peaches
Autumn: Apples
Winter: Oranges

I always want to eat these fruits in these seasons. And sometimes out of them.
