time to call it quits

Last night I was sick. 

Dehydrated. Headache. 

Bad dreams. 

You only get one body. 

Gotta take care of the beast. 

My mother was the age I am now

When she had her first hip replacement. 

She’d had 3 altogether. 

(Not 3 hips, silly!)

My actual face,

Looking out and trying to ponder

Why people do what they do. 

Sometimes humanity 

has a damn dark underbelly. 


All the rains in Southern California!

Look at the Poppy Preserve! 

Full bloom. I bet it’s beautiful in person. 

Lol. I know some people like this. 

So yeah. I skipped my walk before work, 

and took a nap in the car

Like a homeless person. 

Or a tired person. 

I can’t pull 70 hours. 

I’m too old. 

I drive too far to work. 

I got the money to fund my vacation. 

But it won’t do any good

If I sleep through it all. 

So I’m cutting back from 6 twelve hour shifts 

To “just” 5 twelve hour shifts. 

That’s plenty. 

I kept this up for 2 full months. 

Time to get back between the lines. 

The case I have now is a very active case. 

Lots of therapy and playing on the floor. 

My answer? Ugh!

25 miles until we get to Heaven 

25 miles until our plans are laid 

🎶 🎶 🎶 

Lol. Not the Chicken Ranch. 

25 days till vacation bb
