It’s 7 something in the AM. I’m taking stock of my life, lying here in
bed.
After 47 years, my mother is still dead. No improvement there.
I suddenly
realize that one of my children has spent the last two decades making a fool
out of me. You have to admire her courage.
Yesterday, someone who constantly
manipulates my good nature for free creative work did it again. Maybe he’ll get
cancer and die.
On my way to Florida next month, I offer to drop off an
antique dollhouse for someone’s niece, who lives a thousand miles away. Her folks say
now’s not a good time because they don’t have a bed in the guest room. WTF?
My
California brother, who wears an aluminum foil hat [really], has asked me -- again -- to
send him his school pictures from third grade. Again I have to remind him that we have had this conversation. They're gone. Wait a minute, didn’t he tell me
a year ago that he only had thirty days to live? How come he’s still alive?
Enough
with the introspection.
My cell phone alarm just went off for the third time. I text
a guy I know and ask him if he wants to go to the zoo this weekend. Might as
well get the day started.

I could have written this (with a few minor tweaks). Hope you made it to the zoo and I hope you were spared the lemurs... They're vile.
