There are several news headlines about the House today, including:
Mid-term elections: Democrats win House in setback for Trump
Democrats win control of the House in 2018 midterms, CNN projects
Coincidentally, yesterday I started writing a new song, titled “I Left the House Before I Felt Ready”, which is my first original song based on my first original t-shirt …

… which was based on original blog posts (here, here, and here), which I wrote in the house.
Here are the lyrics, so far:
I Left the House Before I Felt Ready
I left the house before I felt ready,
So I’m wrinkled, distracted, and sort of bed-heady.
I don’t know where my phone is, my glove, or umbrella
And my water bottle’s probably somewhere in the cellar.

Because my house is near Boston, those last two lines rhyme.
Only one of my photos from yesterday was taken in the house:





Here’s “House” by Elton John:
What are your thoughts and feelings about any of the houses here?
Thanks to all who helped me write today’s blog post at the house and — of course! — to YOU, for visiting my blogging house.

I love your lyrics and happy about the house
I love your comments and I’m happy to see you!
I think that you represent us very well here on WordPress, Ann!
I think it takes one good representative to know another one, Mark.
I look forward to your new song and feel very good about houses this morning, but I’m especially happy for the transgender people who call Massachusetts home.
Me too, C.
I’m especially happy that we all share this WordPress home, Chris and Maureen.
So much wisdom in the photos. No bully zone is very good one.
You have so much wisdom, Alex!
That’s kind. But the great man I quoted on my blog post is so many levels above. You’ll love the quote. You probably already know it 🙂
I did love the quote, Alex!
That’s wonderful 🙂
Here’s the link to your blog today :https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2018/11/07/lines-of-the-day-martinlutherkingjr/
That’s such a nice gesture 🙂
Sometimes I wonder if we’re ever ready….
I’m always ready for your comments, Claudia. Thank you!
Good thing you live near Boston-so you can rhyme about your house with a cella,. LOL
Good thing we’re both on WordPress, Elva (which also rhymes with cellar).
Hahaha!
Those are terrific lyrics! And, what a long list of roles. You are on a role roll!
You’re on a roll, terrific Maureen!
Promising lyrics
I will try to fulfill the promise, Derrick.
I think that Tuesday’s results gave us a chance to infuse our hopefulness bucket! Your lyrics are great, Ann. 🙂
You are great, Debra!!
