ladder day

I didn’t want to come to work today. 

But no one else was available. 

So here I am.

They don’t even think about doing it. 

It is second  nature to them by now. 

Pepper poppers 

Scrambled Eggs with Ham and Cheese 

A new thing:

Eggs poached in Cream! 

The edged get brown, the whites get solid,

Like poached eggs but no cover. 

Sweet Baby is 99% deaf. 

I thought this for years. 

The camera was not paired

Before it was installed. So it required 

Another trip (or two) up the ladder. 

Or in this case- 4 trips up and down. 

My housemate was holding the ladder,

And started talking about falling. 

I sure wouldn’t get up there

I’d be afraid I’d break my neck

I’m too old to be on a ladder

I have no business climbing 15 feet high. 

So there I was up on the ladder,

And hearing him talk like that

Just got me so anxious I was like

Can you please stop talking about falling 

When I’m so far up the ladder ? 

I mean honestly. Who does that? 

I started sweating and

 my teeth started chattering. 

And I threw up. Yes. Barf-City. 

15 feet up the air, I threw up. 

I did get the camera paired

But it took 2 trips up the ladder. 

It’s like the last time he was mad

He asked if I wanted to go to a gun range 

For target practice- with him! 

What an dick thing to say. 

Of course it ended with another fight. 

With both hands on hips, he actually said

“Shame on you” when I didn’t apologize 

For whatever he thinks I said. 

Always a fight. Right before a big event.
