fools day

If only because it can’t 

be worse than March. 

This might have been one 

of my worst months ever. 

The way to get a good nights sleep

Is to be so tired you can’t see straight. 

And avoid all but a teaspoon of whiskey. 

Got up early to do the bathroom 

Two days in a row. 

Only to find out the painters are coming 

This morning at 8. 

(They’re late!)

Everything out. 

Spent 2 days cleaning 

A patient’s room. 

Cleaning and organizing. 

I didn’t take “befores”

But let’s just say 

It was like living in a warehouse. 

Boxes on top of boxes. 

No more wire hangers! 

The first to to mess this up

Gets to deal with me

And my OCD. 

Wings at work. 

They had Pizza. 

One bite and I had heartburn all night. 

It’s never worth it. 

Ever. 

Once or twice in a year,

A cheat bite is satisfying. 

The risk is not worth it. 

Will it work? 

Won’t it work? 

Can’t take a chance anymore. 

Finally going home. 

Traffic. 

2 hour delay. 

So goodbye to March

And hello to April! 

I’m celebrating early

By calling in sick 

A half day. 

Is age a reason to abuse 

Someone’s good natured hospitality ? 

I’m much more likely to help someone 

Freely and totally - when it’s not demanded of me. 

Or expected. 

Am I being selfish? 

And if so- 

Is that necessarily a bad thing? 

And wow. 

We’re in the final countdown!
